Blogs of Christmas Past

I think I've used that title before. I'm not sorry. I'm starting to feel myself not Christmas shopping because of the lack of snow... and because of family indecision about how we are exchanging presents this year.
I've already noticed the Winners at College Park more packed than normal when I went to buy socks last week (I couldn't find a pair without a hole).
I dread the crowds and I don't like malls anyway. It truly is hard to find a gift that means I thought about it because I can barely think when I am in a mall full of screaming kids, teenagers on cell phones and adults meandering like they don't know how to walk.
See what I mean? I don't belong in a mall. I can't be happy when I'm in one. ^_^

So, I find my refuge at Hank's. The people are always happy, the cappuccinos are always in plenty and there's always smiling people and nice music.

Soup! Curried Pear, Apple and Parsnip YUM

Open-Faced Meatloaf Sandwich with Homemade Pan Gravy
Uh, Yes.

Dingo Farms Beef Stew

Picked Radish with Miso & Greens

Crème Fraîche Dill Potato Salad

Beet & Goat Cheese Salad with Honey Mustard Vinaigrette

Did I hear something about a new SAMMY?

Why, yes. Yes, you did.

1-7-5

It hardly seems like a long time, and we don't blog on Sundays very often: Today is our 175th blog post. It took us a long time to get good and consistent. It's seen a lot of menu items.
It's happy to have more hot food than ever before.
Hank's Blog. You're one stop for all things Hank.

In case you've had a bucket over your head and haven't been watching the blog this will still be news to you.
Pulled Pork Sandwich is now on our house made kaiser bun. We've lowered the price and you don't really need halves. It's not as over whelming but just as filling. It's also got our Tennessee Style BBQ Sauce dripping off of it. You're not going to find a more delicious Pulled Pork in this neighborhood. TODAY IS A GREAT DAY FOR PULLED PORK. Also, it pairs well with a Creemore.... ^_^

Say What? Vegetarian Friendly Curry Pear Soup.
Yeah. We really went there.
