I ordered silicone ice trays and WOW! what a deal. They came with lids, the bottom is soft. Turn upside down and you can push out the cubes you want, of twist slightly and all come falling down. Thanks for telling me about them Ann. Fresh in the freezer straight from Amazon and no cubes on the floor. My first ever ice trays that came with a Ice Tray Manual, both sides with photos. I am still giggling
Duke's Mixture 2. Above are the shopping bags I take with me to Wal-Mart. 3 weeks ago, I purchased 2 of the bags with wine bottles on them and the other one is what bob's hearing aids came in.
the big bag I have had since selling Real Estate in early 90's
Those wine bags are PERFECT they stand up by themselves, they have pockets to use or not, and I wanted a couple more but they were not to be found in WM which is where I got them.
I like the stand up kind, the others are all floppy and fall around while trying to fill them.
Now I need to make a sign to hang on the steering wheel that says get them out of the trunk
Dumb bunny.
My morning BP pill, sits in my coffee cup, next to the coffee pot, I have not forgotten it a single time since I store it there.
If you are pondering what is Dukes Mixture, it means to me a hodgepodge of whatever.
Found on WWW
What does Duke's mixture mean?
Years ago there was a "Duke's Mixture" pipe tobacco that was "low end and
The public snickered at Duke's Mixture brand, because it was low end, was a thrown together stew of tobacco odds and ends, and this led early on to the phrase duke's mixture and we sometimes still hear used today, to mean a hodge-podge of something.

I know this saying! But I never knew the origin of it, and now this is so cool!! I have been using this kind of ice cube trays for years, and love them. And you can get all kinds of different size cube ones.
Hurray for the ice tray!
Glad the ice trays are working for you....I have a collapsible bag that Sarah gave me that i loved.
aaah good to know about the mixture... we call that shmick-shmack LOL

Never heard the phrase but now I know! Glad you got three daily living things sorted! YAM xx
Love your ice trays. We have (had) some like that - be careful how you twist them when they are frozen. The white plastic bit can shatter. I would get more however because the silicon bit is a great innovation.
The ice cube trays have come a long way since the metal ones with the handle that you had to pull up.
I've never heard the saying Duke's mixture.
Duke’s Mixture is a new term to me, but now I know! I shall have to find some suitable occasion to use it and impress people with the depth of my knowledge!
The ice tray sounds nice! I have never heard the term before.
We bought some shopping bags from our Wegmans grocery store when our county banned plastic bags. Take care, have a great day!
That looks like a smart solution when you need a lot of ice cubes. I use very little ice so usually make mine in a special (not re-usable) plastic bag from which you can pop out one at a time
Way to go! I'm giggling b/c, reading your title, I was wondering what you were making with my favorite mayonnaise.
Those trays are pretty smart; tho it took me a minute to realize they're really not filled with something green.
That is really fun that ice cube trays came with diretions!
I was wondering what Duke's Mixture was and now I know. Hey..you never know about young kids today....they most likely have never heard of ice trays before and would need directions for us. that is funny thought to send directions for use. Thankfully, here in our area, we can still use the bags from the store. I in return use them for all kinds of projects once my groceries are put up. I do like the idea of taking bags that are stronger and easier to tote. Happy Tuesday! 🍁
Running late I had an 8:30 dental appt.
I love Duke mixture today...at first I thought Dandy Duke from Connecticut sent you a recipe for Beau

HaHa..thanks for the explanation for Duke's Mixture..I like the sound of it.
Those trays are so perfect for you. the covers on them will be a real life saver. Made me smile to think that there was a manual to go with them.
Hope you can find the kind of bags you want.

I am very impressed with the bags that you found and so happy that they are working out well for you. Way to go on those ice cube trays! Sometimes before I head to the store I put my bags on the front seat next to me.
I really enjoyed your Duke's mixture today. I need to find some "stand up" bags, the ones I have are getting pretty floppy.
I am so glad you found your ice cubes! Duke and Bob will be happy too.
Great ice cube purchase. Mom may need to get a few to have on hand too.

Fun stuff here...So glad you got your new ice cube trays. Now just to remember to refill them....I understand the problem too well, on many other things, like your "Dukes' Mixture". Like Myra, I thought you were talking about the mayonnaise. LOL. But I do know what a Dukes mixture is, except I didn't know it was tobacco originally. Never touch the stuff. LOL. Those wonderful "grocery bags"...maybe if I shopped at Aldi's where they charge you for bags, etc., I'd get in the habit of taking mine in, but I will never have enough bags for all the myriad of stuff I buy, esp. at Walmart. I do keep cooler bags in the trunk to carry cold stuff home. That's something. Great post as always. Be careful as you watch this storm blow by. Hopefully it will just blow by and not turn inward on us. But I pray for the Big Bend/panhandle area again. Crazy stuff.
