I is for Ice cubes

 

Ice cubes - something most of us are familiar with and use on a daily basis. Since the invention of the ‘automatic ice maker’, now found in most freezers, they are also probably an item we more or less take for granted.

 

Back in the day, as some folks say, we used metal ice trays, like the one shown in the front left corner, filled with water and placed in the freezer until the water froze and voilà, you had ice cubes! Indeed, a little more labor intensive, but necessary if you wanted, say, iced tea on a warm afternoon. Then, later on, plastic ice cube trays were introduced, providing ice cubes in a variety of shapes for special occasions.

 

In honor of Valentine’s Day, just around the corner, I made heart shaped ice cubes from one of those plastic trays I’ve had for years.

Also making an appearance, on that little plate, are some very uncooperative ice cubes in the shape of Christmas trees, and so typical of being a cat, the most uncooperative ice cube of all, that cat shaped blob which refused to stand up, no matter what I tried.

Just take my word for it! LOL!
