Bite a Burger, Sip a Shake at Steak ‘n Shake in Katy

February 10, 2015 11:29 am

For 80 years Steak 'n Shake has been serving premium burgers and milkshakes to happy diners, and the Katy location of this popular chain carries on this tradition.

The original steakburger is still one of the restaurant's most popular items, combining an all-beef patty hot off the grill with American cheese on a toasted bun. Add a side of the signature shoestring fries (topped with cheese if you're especially adventurous) and you've got a classic American meal. In addition to your food, be sure you order a milkshake. These hand-dipped shakes include real ice cream and whole milk, whipped together into a smooth, creamy, and frosty treat. Try topping yours with whipped cream and a cherry.

The restaurant itself is clean and pleasant, and the service is friendly, but if you're in a hurry, it's simple to get your tasty meal to go at the drive through window.

Laundry and Clothing Care Basics Everyone Should Know

February 3, 2015 12:43 pm

Doing the laundry is a necessary annoyance, but modern amenities have done a lot to make this weekly chore a less daunting. Here are the basic rules for properly washing and caring for your most essential articles of clothing.

  1. Sort by color. You’ve likely heard that you need to separate your lights from your darks, but this step is especially important when washing denim or new clothes that have yet to be washed.
  2. Use the right water temperature. As a general rule, wash delicate clothing that could shrink or bleed in cold water. For heavily soiled items, whites, and towels, use hot water instead.
  3. Use the proper detergent. Not all detergents are created equal, so choose a type specially formulated for cold water, hot water, or even a brand made with color-safe bleach to remove stains from colored clothing. As a bonus, using the right type of detergent can even extend the lifespan of your clothes.
  4. Secure buttons. Dab a bit of clear nail polish in the center of shirt buttons to help prevent them from loosening. Even better, learn how to replace one yourself if you frequently wear button-down shirts.
  5. Keep zippers smooth. Rub zippers with wax every few weeks to keep them from catching or sticking.
