On Saturday, we were wishing we could make frozen beverages (smoothies for the kids). It was so hot and muggy outside (and inside) that we were wishing we had a battery-operated blender. Then we thought of the adapter that some people had for the car. It plugs into the car power points (cigarette lighter) and has an AC adapter to plug things in. We were so excited about this brilliant idea. Everyone gathered up frozen fruit (which was rapidly thawing anyway). All the kids in the neighborhood were excited about the thought of smoothies and were standing around waiting.
Apparently a blender takes more electricity than this adapter could pull from the car. We didn't even manage to break the ice up much. It was very disappointing, but the bright side was that I knew anyone reading our blog would get a kick out of the story. It brought back memories of college when doing something like trying to use a blender in the car was a pretty common occurrence.

You need to invest in a better adapter for next time--I think slushee drinks are a must at every hurricane gathering.
