Congratulations Grace!

Next time you stop in for a martini or cocktail, congratulate our new UNT graduate Grace Stevens, a long time employee for Hannah's. Grace will be in Italy for a week or so, but she is the current Denton Iron Bartender Champion, so she is worth the wait!

Congratulations Grace! We are so proud of you for all of your hard work and dedication!
Enjoy Italy!

Hannah's Crew

Congratulations Graduates!

Congrats to all TWU and UNT Graduates! Hannah's salutes you! In honor of our special guests on this day, we offered one of our staple desserts....Katherine Hepburn's Brownie, we serve it a la mode of course, but here is the recipe with a creme fraiche topping!

• 1 stick (8 tablespoons) butter
• 2 squares unsweetened chocolate
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Preparation

1. Melt together 1 stick butter and 2 squares unsweetened chocolate and take the saucepan off the heat.

2. Stir in 1 cup sugar, add 2 eggs and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, and beat the mixture well.

3. Stir in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt. (In the original recipe, 1 cup chopped walnuts is added here as well.)

4. Bake the brownies in a buttered and floured 8-inch-square pan at 325°F for about 40 minutes.

You can cut these brownies into squares, once they have cooled, and eat them out of the pan, but it is so much nicer to pile them on a fancy plate, from which people are going to eat them with their hands anyway. If you want to smarten up your act you can put a square of brownie on a plate with a little blob of créme fraîche and a scattering of shaved chocolate.

Local right now

As we get closer and closer to June, things are beginning to look up in the area of local harvest. Already we are seeing herbs, greens and lettuces.

It is wonderful to feel good in your heart and in your tummy! Hannah's lists its local ingredients within 150 miles. Here is a list of what we have this week.
