Slushie Stuff!

I tried making some strawberry limeade the other day, but added too many strawberries. SO... rather than mixing in more water, I decided to play with it! Here ye be...

(Original Recipe)
1 cup lime (or lemon) juice
1 1/2 cup strawberries (or berries of your choice, I guess)
3/4 cup sugar
4 cups water

Mix together in a blender and voila!! Mmmm :). OK. So I had probably 2-2.5 cups of strawberries and this made it rather thick. So I later used it as concentrate and blended in a bunch of ice to make a slushie. Yum! :) We're not big slushie fans, but it was great!! Sorry for the funky looking picture :P. And after that, I used the rest of my "concentrate" and blended in some ice cream to sort of duplicate Sonic's "Creamslush" and that was also very good! :) The tangyness of the lime juice was perfect in all of the above!! So y'all have fun playing around with this stuff... after it warms up up there, of course :).

Mmmmm! Good stuff, Abby! We had this for supper tonight. We happened to have a bunch of limes from James' party, so it was an easy choice! It's very refreshing. Kenton (who squeezed the limes, and therefore feels responsible) says "it tastes like strawberries and lime!" Yep, it does!
