Ice

I love ice.   I love it in my Diet Pepsi, and I love it in my Diet Coke (I am no respecter of soft drinks).   I love crushed ice.   I do not like the ice cubes you make in those little plastic things in your freezer.   I  think that ice tastes funny.    But, ice is not just ice.  Ice has many faces.   What about ice sculptures?     And ice skating?   I love to watch Olympic ice skaters.  They are so graceful and their costumes are so beautiful.   And if the Olympics ever goes to Sweden, you can stay at the Ice Hotel.  Yes, a hotel made of ice.  Brrrrr.   It's built new every winter.  Artists come from all over the world to help build it.   BYOC or you might get cold.


And ice is also a girl's best friend.   There's also ice.gov, which is the website for the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).   And iceculinary.com - The Institute of Culinary Education.  Cold as Ice by Foreigner, my fav.   One of my favorites is ice cream.   Tillamook peanut butter and chocolate.  Or Ben and Jerry's Vanilla Caramel Fudge.   Ice is endless (unless it melts).

But, I will end as I began - - crushed ice and Diet Pepsi.    Oh ya!

  1. When my husband and I go get a fountain drink, I fill mine about 2/3 with ice. He gets maybe 4 cubes. I can drink my diet Coke without ice (out of a bottle) but prefer not to. I don't like homemade ice, either. I love buying it from Sonic, those little, tiny pieces. =0)

  2. Ice in my glass of tea on a hot summer day. That was also interesting info on the Ice Hotel.

  3. Crushed ice in some kind of yummy drink on a hot day and most any kind of ice cream, are perfect for a summer day, or any day you want!

  5. My mom never uses ice in her drinks which is mind boggling to me. I would love to stay at that ice hotel.

  6. I've seen that Ice Hotel on TV and it looks so "cool". I didn't know it was built new every winter. I like ice in my drinks also. I don't understand people who don't.

  8. I put ICE in my phone. In Case of Emergency & then my husband's phone number. I had heard that medical & law professionals look for this.

  9. I love ice. I saw a special on that ice hotel. Fascinating. I wrote a novella--the hero is an ice artist. The research was fun. Unfortunately, I haven't sold it yet. :(

  11. My kids don't put ice in their drinks either. I so don't get it. And I too would love to go to that ice hotel!

  12. I MUST have ice in any cold drink - including iced water (which is what I drink the most) -- and the little icey cubes are best or the chipped ice.

  17. Tillamook Mudslide is my favorite, followed closely by their chocolate and PB! If it wasn't raining right now, I'd be tempted to go get some.
