It was a fun Christmas with lots of little treasures even though we tried to keep things low key. My sons gave us some fun gifts and these from our youngest were no exception.
The hubs loves hot sauces and this variety box brought some smiles and knowing looks between those guys. Will they all be tried? I almost hope not! Some of these look like serious sauces, sure to bring out the early morning shout of, “Fire in the hole!”
Thank goodness I got what I wanted as well. I have really been longing for those nice, stone freezable ice cubes for keeping my Old Fashion drinks extra cold without the usual watering down process. How fortunate that son and his girlfriend gave me a set for Christmas. Win, win!
So, weather notwithstanding, it was a ‘Fire and Ice’ holiday all around. ;D

I got a giant ice ball maker for Christmas. The principle is the same. The ball does not melt fast. I tried out on my old fashions and it worked well.

I had been making a giant cube using small storage containers but keep forgetting to make them. I know you can get special ice cube trays for these as well. Oh well…..

I had an old fashioned with the new ice and it was spectacular. No need to worry about melt it was gone too quick.

Ha! That’s what I always say. It’s not like it’s a big drink, after all.

I’m not so sure that ‘brave’ doesn’t translate to ‘stupid’ in this case. Lol

Great personalized gifts. The whiskey stones seem like a god idea. Hubs can have the hot sauces. I like some, but not much heat.

I like flavors and a bit of heat but nothing extreme. I think the plan is to experiment with various foods as a seasoning. As long as I don’t try to chomp the stones like I do regular ice it will be okay. Hubby is concerned I might chip a tooth. My Ralph Nader…😉
