Ice cubes

The Danes around here seem to have the opposite of American refrigerators with ice cube makers.  Not only do they drink their water warm, but most refrigerators I have seen do not have a freezer compartment.  The families have a chest freezer in a different part of house and ours came with only a little ice cube tray with heart-shaped cube openings.  I am not sure where I would put a traditional ice cube tray if I did have one.

A solution has been found!  You can buy one-use plastic bags that you fill with water and tie the knot (above).  Not so environmentally sound, but I had to try it so I could blog about it!

This is what it looked like after it was frozen.  I did not try to find a flat space, figuring the point was to make it convenient by just dropping it in.

Next the bag is twisted until the cubes come loose and you have a bag of ice cubes.  So entertaining and functional, too.
