Happy Labor Day!

After football games, BBQs, going up to the cottage, coming back from the cottage and trying to squeeze every last drop out of my Labor Day weekend, I'm exhausted!  Long weekends are supposed to be a relaxing and mellow time to reflect on the summer and catch those final few rays of sunshine before looking forward to fall... but three or four days is still never enough.

I have one new bar accessory I spotted a few days ago at Bergo Designs in Toronto, NORDIC ROCKS ice cube substitutes.

As described on the design site Take2, these small cubes are carved out of 400 million year old pollution-free base rock in Sweden.  The rocks are placed in the freezer for about one hour and then used in the place of ice cubes to cool your summer drinks with out watering them down.  They are then rinsed and stored for later use.  That's a very COOL idea, indeed!
