"ice cubes" news and stories

Whether it's for iced coffee or a party, here are some fun things you can do with ice cubes.

Legos are an icon of childhood for most of us, whether you were the one building elaborated fantasy worlds or your children are/were. Like just about every other product you can think of, Lego seizes just about any opportunity for merchandising that it sees and has moved out of the playroom and into the kitchen. Earlier this year, we saw some Lego Eggos, but now the company is offering us real kitchen gear, like ice cube trays shaped like Legos and salt and pepper shakers shaped - somewhat disturbingly - as Lego-men heads. They also have a Lego Apron, which is not made of Legos, but features the classic body of a Lego person on it, a set of Lego coasters and Lego corkscrews for opening wine (probably not something you want your kids to see in case they mistake them for toys).

All this Lego gear is a lot of fun to have around and definitely gives a new twist to playing with your food. The only way that this stuff could be more fun is if the ice cubes were stackable, though it should only take a little water to get them to stick together long enough to build a small tower. You'll need more than one tray for a fort.

Have you seen Target's new dollar store competition: the dollar section? I sure have, and I know as well as anyone that it's impossible to pass up the siren song of cute kitchenware for $1. Especially when it's heart-shaped.

Sarah Gim raved over heart-shaped measuring spoons just now, so I knew it was time to contribute my find: these pink-and-white heart-shaped ice cube trays I saw at a recent visit to Target. This wasn't the only $1 kitchenware I saw... I'll introduce you to the cutest red heart measuring cups in a later post (my three-year-old is cooking with them in style).
