How my Ice Obsession began...
I started making my own ice about two years ago when the icemaker on my "fancy fridge" decided for the last time to just stop working. It was the brand that is known for it's repairmen having nothing to do because their machines never break... RIIIGHT!
Being without my cherished icemaker put me into a sort of panic attack- I was pretty much addicted to holding my glass up to the lever and filling it to the brim with ice in whichever form I desired- cubed, crushed or chipped. After a few weeks, I guess my husband got tired of bringing home bags of ice and one day told me "just make it"!
At first I think I actually got a bit miffed at the thought of making ice! But then when I actually thought about it a bit, I realized that making ice was a lot better than buying it or getting it easily from the fridge door.
By making it, I could make sure that the water used was clean and filtered. I am pretty sure that the ice bought in bags was probably just plain tap water, and who knows how clean or dirty the plant and machines are??
Looking back, I can't even fathom that I actually didn't want to make ice!
I remember as a child always having ice trays in the freezer- the metal ones that had a "Quick release handle"! lol
