Ice Ice Baby

You know the song. you know the drill.
duunnnn dunnn de dunnn dun.
Stop. Collaborate and Listen.
Ok, perhaps ONLY I randomly sing that song.
Do you have an ice thing?
An ice choice?
An ice fettish love?
My people do.
I enjoy my ice. But my people LOVE their ice.
A few years ago the Coach and I purchased an ice maker.
I know. Normal people use the ice maker in their freezer. But, we are NOT normal people.
This was a big deal. There was research. There were meetings. Discussions.
We settled.
We didn't get the premium ice maker.
We got a good ice maker.
BUT….
 Out there in the world, we ON occasion come across the ultimate ice.
ULTIMATE {pellet} ICE.
*swoon*
And when we do, I have to share with my people.
You know, just so they know what they are missing.
I had this delicious glass of ice while in Chicago. I shared this pic with my girls and they both ewwed and awed. 
Ice envy.
It's what we do.
Word to your Mother.

  3. how goofy. :) where i worked, there was one ice maker that made ice differently than all the others. folks would come from other floors just to get that ice - they called it 'sonic ice' after the drive-in place.

  10. I'm not a big fan of ice in any way. I loved snowcones when I was a kid and that's about it. I don't even put ice in my water.

  11. I love iced beverages in the warm weather, but I have to be careful, because (in our GLORIOUS MIDDLE AGE) those teeth which seemed to be made of steel no longer are invincible. The ice, she crushes middle-aged teeth. The dentist, he charges a fortune to fix them. The best icy thing of all? A granita. An icy drink, made in a slurpee-type of rotating thing, composed of latte and chocolate. Ohmygoodnessgraciousgood.

  18. I love my ice, ice, baby! Don't have an ice maker and just to lazy to make in trays so I buy it in bags from a machine.

  19. We still do it the old fashioned way. Put ice cubes in a heavy bag. Smash them with a mallet. Then make "green slushes".....:)
