Smashburger to Introduce a Nutter Butter Shake for July

Image via WikipediaSmashburger will be introducing a Nutter Butter shake for the month of July. For those of you joining the City of McAllen's 4th of July Celebrations, this just might be the perfect compliment to a hot summer evening with the family. The shakes will combine Häagen-Dazs ice cream with Nabisco's Nutter Butter Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies.

McAllen is currently the only city in the Rio Grande Valley to have a Smashburger, so it's only natural to tie the two together for your July 4th experience. Who knows, maybe it will be the start of a family tradition.

The shakes are not available yet; but just imagining the peanut butter flavor with creamy ice cream makes my brain salivate. We'll be counting down the days.

Of course, if you feel inclined to have a Smashburger while you are there, don't hold back. As you know, Smashburger uses 1/3 to 1/2 pound of fresh, never frozen beef that gets smashed on the grill and seared to seal in the flavor. To make things even better, they offer some very distinct toppings and sides for your burger. If you've been there before, you know what I'm talking about. If you haven't, find out NOW.

Cleaning Mold and Mildew From Your Window Air Conditioner

I don't think cleaning mold and mildew from your window air conditioner is a problem specific to the Rio Grande Valley. After all, there are plenty of other places with high temperatures and high humidity. However, given that there are so many of us who rely on window units to cool our homes, allow me to share some experience in cleaning these things out. Why I'm Cleaning My Own A/C Obviously, our window units grew some black stuff on the blower and its enclosure. This generated allergies in my little one, who is sensitive to such things. Not having my own laboratory, I couldn't tell you if it is mold or mildew. It matters not. What I've Tried Other than replacing the window unit every couple months, I've tried washing the unit with Clorox products. I figure bleach kills everything; but, I guess it doesn't. We still had to use cotton swabs to wipe and scrub surfaces on the blower and enclosure, which is almost impossible on some models. You can't d...

Fall 2024 in the RGV

It's that time of year again when Winter Texans start to make their way south from the northern states. I have already had phone calls with a Winter Texan client who is getting ready to come down. I think it is fascinating that we can make friends from people who are visiting only seasonally. Looking at the blog stats, I seem to get a peak in traffic every year. So I suppose it must be partly due to many of our friends coming back from up north. Image generated by Gemini 1.5 Pro AI Speaking of seasons, we still have a couple of months to go before the end of hurricane season for 2024. We have been fortunate this year, compared to other parts of the USA. Although, south Texas could use the rain. This time of year makes me happy as we finally have nights that are below 78F like we had all summer. This week we have had mornings in the 60s. While we still have hot days in the 90s, we at least get some respite in the evenings, leading to cool mornings. Returning to RG...

The Mad Mexican

Years ago, there used to be a DJ at B104, a local radio station. Until recent years, B104 had a large audience. They played pop music. The Mad Mexican used to do the morning show with Gary Rodriguez, who is now involved in McAllen politics. Well, the Mad Mexican is still working, but on a national level. I heard him this morning on Aguila, XM 92. Aguila is the Mexican music station on XM Satellite Radio. It's great to hear from him again. He's still pretty wild. Gary Rodriguez? He worked for 107.9 for a while before going to KURV and then entering politics.
