Hey you-all!
Hank is back in action with a new fun-packed adventure...
Well, we are back from an Easter Sunday anyhow.
The adventure today is all the tasty stuffs we are brewing up.
I've walked past Debbie three times because she is preparing some great smelling mushrooms for her Creamy Mushroom Stew (Vegetarian Friendly).
She also has a vegan-friendly pot of Spicy Black Bean Soup on the go.
These are some bowls of delicious you do not want to miss.
Come to Hank's today. Like every day we are the home of the specials your belly wants.
(I've clearly had too much Easter Sugar.)
See you soon!

Saturdays and Holidays
You may know, you may not - it's Easter.
Many people celebrate for many different reasons - regardless of which one you choose I hope you are together with people you enjoy, taking in the fine weather and feeling all-around pretty good.
Hank's has already surrendered to the crowds of happy families getting their coffees.
We eagerly are waiting for those of you coming to join us for lunch today.
On that fine note:
Soup is Celery Root (I'm sipping a cup as I type).
Stew is Root Vegetable and Beef.
We are closed tomorrow and open again on Monday.
Also, Jodie put a pretty funny quote on the quote board.
Come by to read it for yourself.
Happy Easter to all!
See you soon,
Max

Zamboni Rides & Hot Chocolate
My mother told me if I didn't have anything nice to say not to say anything at all.
So, all I can say about this fine April day we are having is that I wish we still had the Nathan Phillips Square ice rink open.
*Sigh*
There are lots of warm bowls of delicious stuff at Hank's today to stop this April cold.
Today we have a Split Pea & Jambon Blanc Soup.
As well as a Mushroom Stew in Gumbo-Style.
Today it is certainly vegetarian friendly.
See you soon,

Snow Cones and Daffodils
I think my title says it all.
If you had a snow cone you could have your spring and eat it too!
Slush falling from the sky aside, I think we are in good digs and well on our way
to another humid, sticky summer. (Please, Spring, Stay awhile!)
Let us count our days, realize we all wanted to stay in bed and move forward through the week with as much grace as anyone with no sunshine can muster.
Rally, troops! You've got Hank's!
Today's Soup is Cabbage and Bacon (pronounced bay-COH).
Ye ol' stew is Dupuy Lentil Curry.
See also:
Lentils proclaiming the vegetarian friendliness of this delicious lunch item.
That's all folks. We've got work to do and I've got to try to get my hands into that pot of fun.
See you soon,
Max

Sticky Buns and Other Stuffs of Goodness
The smell of bake goods has me salivating while I try to dig up events that I think are check out worthy.
What about the Spring One of a Kind Show at the Ex?
I've had my hand in more that a few things in this show
(Wigle Designs, D-41) and I think it's worth the check out.
Or this fun afternoon at the Dakota Tavern?
Lots of outdoor activities picking up as the days get warmer and less damp.
Soup and Stew for the Weekend are as follows!
Parsnip (Vegan Friendly) Soup
and Beef Stew.
Come stop by for a coffee and stay a while.
See you soon, Max

The Buicks of the Past
Good April Foo's to ye all.
The rain definitely heralds the beginning of April.
Did you enjoy wearing a lighter jacket to work this morning?
We started at a plum-ripe 5 degrees today.
In the mean whiles,
Set break down began at 8am this morning and the people reclaimed the streets of Toronto back from the faux-muggers of New York.
Samuel made a round of his signature bacony drink this morning and boy was it tasty. I'll have to bring in some spice and make my curry macchiato for some folks.
I had the opportunity to dig up this April Fool's story for you. I think it has some gems in it from FastCompany.com
- On April 1, 1996, Taco Bell announced that it had purchased the Liberty Bell, which would accordingly become the "Taco Liberty Bell" (left). When asked about the sale, then-White House press secretary Mike McCurry joked that the Lincoln Memorial had also been sold, and would henceforth be called the “Ford Lincoln Mercury Memorial.”
- On April 1, 1998, Burger King started promoting a Left-Handed Whopper, whose condiments were “designed” to drip out the right side. According to reports, several eager lefties tried ordering the burger--presumably before checking their calendars.
- On April 1, 1998, Guinness announced that it would be the official beer sponsor of the Old Royal Observatory’s millennium celebration. As part of the deal, “Greenwich Mean Time” would become “Guinness Mean Time” until the end of 1999. Obviously missing the joke, The Financial Times scolded Guinness for setting a "brash tone for the millennium." (It later printed a retraction.)
- On April 1, 2000, Google revealed its new MentalPlex technology, which could read a user’s mind to determine his search query – before he even touched the keyboard. Alas, all results were April Fools’-related.
- On April 1, 2002, the British supermarket chain Tesco advertised a new, genetically modified “whistling carrot.” The veggie had apparently been “specially engineered” to grow with “tapered airholes,” which made it whistle while it cooked.
- On April 1, 2004, National Public Radio's “All Things Considered” reported on the Post Office’s new portable “Portable Zip Codes” program, which would allow people to keep their zip codes no matter where they moved. In the fictional report, an “official” source said the effort would “serve as an umbilical cord to the places [people] love best.”
- On April 1, 2005, the NASA Web site featured a news story touting pictures of water on Mars. Revelation? Not quite: The actual photo showed a glass of water resting on a Mars candy bar.
- On April 1, 2008, Google started promoting Gmail Custom Time, which allowed users to adjust email time stamps. The science behind it apparently involved an “e-flux capacitor.”
- On April 1, 2008, YouTube linked every video on its homepage to Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up.” And yes, there’s a verb for that: “RickRolling.”
- On April 1, 2008, an executive at Microsoft Research said his team had determined the true value of pi to be “a definitive 3.141999, or as expressed in company literature, ‘Three easy payments of 1.047333.’”
Soup today is Bacony Borscht.
Stew is Peanut, Coconut & Sweet Potato Stew.
I hope no one pulls the wool over yer eyes today!
See you soon,
Max
