Heart-Shaped Ice Cubes

For about the past four years, shaped ice cubes have been a staple in my freezer. As silly as it sounds, I've had some criticism to my ice. It's smaller than square ice cubes, it's harder to get out of the tray, you have to refill it more frequently, it's not automated... None of these criticisms have deterred me from my love affair with novelty ice cube trays, however. They liven up a cocktail, a cup of juice, lemonade or just plain cold ice water on a hot summer's day. The best time to find them is around major holidays. Valentine's day and Independence day are great for hearts and stars! Since they do make smaller ice cubes, I usually keep them in a zip bag or a food safe container so that I can make lots at one time. It's getting up into the 80's here in west central Florida, ice is becoming a staple in every beverage, and this is one way that I express my femmeininity in the kitchen.

I think my next post may be an apron sewing tutorial. Anyone up for that? Here's some apron eye candy to get you thinking about the possibilities.

Gardening apron, the pink fabric has the names of plants and flowers written in grey scripot.
