The OP is hilarious if you read it out loud in the voice of Stewie from _Family Guy_, particularly this passage: > [@](#): > > Your drink tastes real good right now, doesn’t it? All nice and cold because you filled your glass with ice cubes. Really hits the spot, especially since it’s over ninety degrees, humid, and the airconditioner died yesterday. MMmmm. Cold drink, cold glass to rub against your face, you’re loving it. Try it! ---

> [@tdn](#): > > Gotta echo **This Year’s Model** on this. Do you really think that someone who would fails to fill the ice trays and instead leaves them on the counter could actually be bothered to fill the bucket? Or to leave the bucket ice for the kitchen slave? Nuh uh. I speak from experience when I say **SBS** will come home to the bucket _and_ the trays empty and on the counter. Make a house rule that making ice is not “cooking” and that it’s everyone’s job. Why didn’t he ask you to make him the refreshment in the first place? Wouldn’t that be “cooking” as well based upon his definition? ---

It’s too bad that hubby is trying to suck up and make amends, because otherwise you could “cook” the following dinner tonight: Soup dish: A bowl of water with a couple of ice cubes floating in it. Salt and pepper to taste. Main course: Ice patty (fill a zip-lock sandwich bag with water and freeze). Serve with a splash of ketchup or barbeque sauce. Side dishes: (1) A mound of crushed ice, served with gravy or a pat of butter. (2) An attractive arrangement of 3-4 ice cubes with a parsley garnish. Dessert: Ice cubes in a bowl, topped with whipped cream and a cherry. _Yum yum._ ---
