Heating food up through friction is a cool idea. I found a recipe for
broccoli cheese soup on the Vitamix site - will try it. I suspect you
can do this on a regular blender too except that the motor would
overheat if left on high for 5-7 minutes.

There's a recipe for ice cream on the Vitamix site that's made with milk
and ice cubes. That don't sound so hot.
