Quite an Ice Bag

As a special treat, we took the kids to O'Charley's for lunch today. I had just a bite of grilled tilapia and rice left over so I asked the waiter for a "to go" box. Knowing that we were going to stop at Cold Stone on the way home to use John Caden's free birthday icecream coupon, I also asked our server for a bag with a little ice in it so that I could keep the leftovers on ice while we ran an errand. He was gone for a while--we wondered what was taking so long--when he returned we knew why--he had been making an enormous ice bag for us-- it truly was about the size and weight of John Caden!
"Wow," I told him, "We could drive all the way to Florida and back and my leftovers would still be good!" Tim was so embarrassed to carry the big bag through the restaurant that we ended up sneaking out through a back door (that is, after we left a nice tip for depleting O'Charley's of their ice supply).
