I Can Cook a Whole Lotta Stuff but I Can't Blend Lemonade

I don't have any trouble broiling a steak, roasting a chicken, frying up eggs, or boiling pasta, but apparently I can't crush ice to save my life.

I was making Dels frozen lemonade at home...you can buy their secret mixture online and the directiions seemed pretty simple. If you've never had it, you're missing out!

Add the packet of mixture. Add two cups of ice. Add a cup of water. Blend for 30seconds. Easy right? You'd think, but not so much. Apparently I should have added a little bit of ice at a time and not all two cups at once. Silly brand new blender couldn't handle the pressure. After 5 minutes of chopping pureeing and liquifying my drink was ready...I drank it up...or rather, I ate it with a spoon because I put TOO MUCH ICE. Seriously...2 cups is 2 cups isn't it? I guess I put in 2 HEAPING cups. Ah well...Maybe I'll just mix it with water next time and have plain old boring lemonade.
