ICE, ICE TRAY BABY

From the Right-Side...

Ice trays, baby!
Ice and a tray do not an ice tray make.

Apparently, without any notice, those old-fashioned ice trays have up and left the building. Just like that, they are extinct, never to be found in a regular retail outlet.

Employees at a nearby Target were in shock when we made an inquiry. We imagine they were envisioning something like our photo. Ice? Trays? They could not grasp the concept.

Why, you may ponder, would anyone need such a quaint device when we all know ice is made in our freezers, without trays (actually, there are trays in there if you really look).

Kids, you can't freeze leftover wine, in your ice maker. I thought about trying it, but Left-Side shot me a quick side-eye and I refrained.

Left-Side is not one to let something as mundane as trays for freezing Pinot Noir win, so he immersed himself into Amazon (shopping, not the jungle) and popped up with ice trays in hand. Well, they will be when they are delivered in a few days.

Gotta dash...

R-S is right. When I asked the clerk at our local Target if they had ice trays, I might as well have said, "What aisle can I find the buggy whips on?" Even a passing shopper who heard me ask scoffed and said to no one in particular, "You might try the Dollar Store."

Thank goodness for Amazon. And it's delivered free in two days. Sure beats standing in a 12-deep line at the Dollar Tree or some-such.

Check back for an update on those Pinot Noir popsicles! -- Left-Side, over and out.
