I made another instructable for the smoothie contest... it's instructions on how to make an Ancient Roman "smoothie" based on Apicus' spiced wine recipe and a story about Nero sending slaves to the mountains for snow... You can read the whole thing here at instructables if you want. I had fun making it, and the end result was pretty tasty (hubby finished off most of the wine the other day :P).
To my surprise, the instructable won second prize in the contest! I'm amazed I won anything at all, and I thought second prize would just be a subscription and/or a tshirt, but I actually get a Magic Bullet blender set o.O
So nifty... I'm trying to think of something to make for the cupcake contest too...
