how not to serve shaved ice

I was so excited about serving shaved ice for G's going away girl's night.

The husband braved the snows, 'severe weather alert' and all, to bring back green tea ice cream and condensed milk for the toppings. No mochi to be found alas. I cooked the red beans, packed it all up and headed to the West Side.

Lessons learned:

1) Don't stick the just-shaved-ice
(in this case, crushed-in-a-blender ice) back in the freezer for long

2) Don't forget to sweeten the red beans! (gaahhh!!)

3) Don't bother calling 7-Eleven asking if you can buy plain slush, they will not understand
