LOL!

Our two are as different as night and day, though they are fraternal brothers. The wild is strong with both, but one of them is extremely reserved and polite, and the other a terror.

I’m convinced that they’re the result of superfecundation - Mom was an ‘outdoorsy’ sort of gal ;-)

..... kitchen gadgets are going to be my downfall .....

Wait til you see this. S-o-o-o-o- neat. Place a chunk of ice in the Japanese ice maker.

End up w/ this scintillating drink brimming w/ a perfect sphere of ice. Only in Japan.

Yeah, sure molds are ok.....but what if you have chunks of ice laying around?

You're in a real fix ..... company's coming and you need spheres of ice for drinks.

What then?

LOL! I guess I’m in a pickle, then.

One thing about those spheres, though: they are HEAVY. They can bop you a good one in the front teeth, if you’re not careful.
