Just handy to have around...

Just a reminder that it's getting to be the time of year again where we go through a lot of ice and ice packs!  One thing I like to do is save a few bottles and fill them almost to the top (allow for expansion) and freeze them.  My husband packs a lunch every day while he is seeding and this works out pretty handy, and as it thaws throughout the day, he has fresh cold water! (either for drinking or washing up if he has super dirty hands before he eats) And if the water in his water jug gets warm, he can just dump some in the bottle and it cools off.  I also do this with larger (2L.) bottles for our bigger coolers in the summer (no water mess, so I can have things in the cooler and not worry about them getting wet, like bread and chips). Another thing I do is freeze water in butter tubs, or something that size to pop right in our 5 gallon water cooler for a weekend camping trip!  It works awesome and keeps our water cold all weekend.  I just throw 3 or 4 in there and they last much longer than cubes!
