Oh Goodness, I'm sorry, I hadn't checked in and didn't know my culinary expertise was requested, please forgive me!!! Orc, get the slushie maker in gear - here we go!

INGREDIENTS
9 cups water
2 (10 ounce) cans frozen strawberry daiquiri mixer
2 cups white sugar
2 cups vodka
1 (12 fluid ounce) can frozen orange juice concentrate
2 (10 ounce) packages frozen strawberries, thawed
4 liters lemon-lime flavored carbonated beverage

DIRECTIONS
Bring a large pot of water and sugar to boil. Cool. Stir in daiquiri mix, vodka, orange juice and strawberries. Transfer mixture to a freezer-safe container, and freeze until mixture is to your desired consistency.
To serve: Pour into a chilled glass, approximately 2/3 cup of the slush mixture and 1/3 cup of lemon-lime soda. Delicious.

A simpler recipe that's used on our deck all the time:
Fresh Strawberries
Banana if you've got it, maybe some yogurt
Rum to taste
Whatever juice is in the 'fridge
Ice
Powdered Sugar to taste

Throw it all in a blender, top it with whipped cream if you've got it, put it in a tall glass, stick a straw in it, grab your spouse and the kitty - get on the deck and enjoy!!

Thank you, Gini! They are all soft foods, so I can break in (not literally!) my new dentures. Coffee & Bailey's will hit the spot, too.

Sorry, I'm checking in a little late! A round of Strawberry Slushies for all, unless it's time for a Mint Julep for the race! You can still have breakfast for supper as well, if you're in the mood! Crispy bacon is good any time!
