you know what I love?


Ice. I love ice. However, I must say that I HATE regular ice cubes, they're way too hard. And if you eat an ice cube straight out of the freezer, it kind of sticks to the inside of your cheeks... it's sort of like how that kid gets his tongue stuck to the frozen flagpole in a Christmas Story (that's right. I'm Jewish. And I like A Christmas Story, so?). All in all, I do not like regular rectangle ice. No ma'am.

There are certain kinds of ice that I sometime just eat by the cup because they somehow just taste better:
crushed ice: is amazing. It's soft and kind of chewy. There's a little crunch, and a little squeak when you chew it, but not too crunch or too much squeak. I don't really know what it is that makes it softer... but it is. And I love it.
the circle ice you get on airplanes: I don't know what it is, but you really can only get that circle ice on airplanes. And it is so good! It's a bit more brittle than crushed ice, but the shape is simply divine. You can stick the end of your straw in the center of the ice ring... and it's just awesome.
ice in any other shape, such as hearts, stars, or fish: this ice tastes a bit like rectangle ice, which is lame, but it IS a cool shape. And... well, that makes it awesome.
