Lemon-Lime Slush

I made it to Ohio! I know it took me forever to post a new recipe, but I just barely got me internet hooked up. Can I just talk about my new home for a minute? It is awesome! There are so many awesome restaurants, foreign food markets, and farmers markets! We even have a spot for a small garden! It is going to be so much easier to find unique and interesting ingredients. And it is HOT! I am not used to this kind of humid heat, but I love it. If you are anywhere except Idaho or Antarctica, you will need something cold to cool you down. This slushy drink is perfect for a pool party, bar-b-que, or for just lounging around.

This recipe requires a lot of tasting and using your own judgment to decide how much of each ingredient you want. Everyone likes a different amount of sweet and sour. I like mine pretty sweet.
