Mac-N-Cheese is finally here! made out of our own roo!!! Next we will create a great kids deal with it. Now the challenge, what kind of drink will the little ones prefer? Juice box, Capri Sun, Kool Aide Jammers??? Sunny D? Once I figure out this one we are good to go....It is a yummy new addition.
Things are up and done right now.....The store is quiet but so is the area. Everyone we talk to tells us the same thing, "it is like this everywhere at this time of year". I would like to be a little different than everyone else so we are working on that as well. The "Little Ones" have been working hard this week with me at the store. yes, up bright and early and putting in a full day. They are definitely tired when they get home.
So I have a new addiction, "Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares"!!!! Love it!!! Can't get enough!!! I really love watching.....learning new things! Fresh is the key!! I totally agree with that idea.....and keeping it simple. I never thought that I would be cooking all of these soups but here we are and its been a lot of fun....I like that I can just do it without really even thinking about it already! I can't wait to go home and make fresh Clam Chowder for my family!
The 4th of July is approaching quickly and I am chatting with "The Soup King" about a traditional soup for the holiday.....We had a special request made for Italian Wedding Soup and it is here and ready!!! The specials are interesting to make...I even tried a second Watermelon with Feta...I am not sure if I like it or not so come on in and try a taste and let me know what you think!!!!

New Feature Deals!!!
So we have talked about trying to find ways to help everyone out with this bad economy....We now have a Five Dollar Menu for you to choose from. It includes a bag of chips and soda with either a small salad, 6" sub, or cup of soup, or for Five dollars a 12"sub or sandwich. Pretty good deals and the sandwiches include BBQ Chicken, Ham, Turkey, Roast Beef, Grilled Cheese and Tuna! I think this should make lunch time doable for everyone!!!
We are planning our specials for next week...Get ready for Italian Wedding Soup and Strawberry Soup. Of course we will still feature our Melon Ball Soup.....something cold for this hot weather is a must!
"Comic Boy" did okay running things last week. But yes, I am back so here we go! "Muscle Guy" is doing his thing....fratinizing with the pretty ladies, yes "The Soup King" would like to be doing the same thing~but he is married! "Karaoke Boy" has been hitting the pavements with our new menus, maybe he should sing a jingle when he is out and about! Some one new has joined our team once again but I'm not sure how long she will be here....we will have to see how things go..
We have met new guests that were very enjoyable to talk with this week...It is always nice to listen to other people's stories. Even with all of the friendly faces that we see I still miss my family and can't wait to go back and visit! The summer is full of so many birthdays and new babies that it will be gathering after gathering! I love get "togethers".....we are always the last ones to leave!
"The Soup King" is busy with many projects....always trying to improve himself and his work. He never feels fulfilled. He should be proud of himself for all of his accomplishments! He is certainly never afraid to take a chance....That to me is very admirable.
What can you do!!! Just roll with the punches and wait to see what tomorrow brings! We will be here waiting for you to come back and visit.....Yes, there is always more to our story..come on in and we will fill you in on all of the fun stuff!

Home Again!!!
Last week offered fun stuff with cooking and creating new soups! We now have Melon Ball soup which is awesome!!! "Comic Boy", (you know, the one we needed a nick name for), came up with this great one for hot days.....Watermelon juice, sherbert, honeydew, and cantaloupe...We also have another special this week....Chicken and wild rice. We are just cranking soups out like crazy! We are having a lot of fun while we do it too....
"Muscle Guy" has been a little pre-occupied with some things but is still hanging tough for us. "Fire Chick" has moved on...."The Soup King" is working hard on his construction business while I get to hold down the fort at the store. It's nice to actual have something that I can call my own!!! "Comic Boy" is really working hard to take care of business! We are very proud of him!
Right now our family unit has ventured home to Pa...lots going on here! Visiting, playing, sharing meals! We are just happy to see everyone we love. Yes, I did guilt "The Soup King" into letting me tag along. I should have stayed back to run the store since he is here on business but we have some trust worthy individuals helping us out!!! Besides, "The Soup King" hates to see me cry.
The "Little Ones" are extremely happy to see all of their cousins and friends....Everyday is busy with some appointment or dinner to catch up with family! It was really fun this time because we did not tell anyone that I was tagging along too! Surprise!!!!! I can't wait to see my niece and her cute little baby belly! She is having a baby in July! We are actually having two babies this summer so it is really exciting. "The Soup King's" nephew is having his first baby in August....two new nephews! I love babies, especially when they are not mine! We certainly have enough little blessings in our house!
We are still working on some new ideas to really energize and entertain you when you stop in....just be patient with us! We appreciate your loyalty as well....I know times are tough for everyone and we are trying new things to make life a little easier for all......Look for our coupons for Wednesdays...buy one bowl of soup and get one free!!! I am working on a new kids meal...Mac n Cheese with a drink and dessert! I know that my "Little Ones" will be happy about that one! Who knew that only one of five would eat soup...I was hoping that would change as time went on...
"Comic Boy" has been working with me on some great ideas and working out the kinks that we have with organization and just staying on top of things. He has a great sense of drive so it is a lot of fun....He goes home and brainstorms, comes in the next day and is just bouncing with thoughts and ideas, I love it! We really did a great job getting everything organized and together. I even have the ordering of supplies down to a pretty good science. It is really great that we all work together...we all have a common goal and we just push to meet it everyday. It's nice to finally have a calm environment to work in, well maybe not calm but laid back.
"The Soup King" is eager to return to Sarasota....he has lots to work on and is anxious to get a few more cold soups out for everyone to try. The Potato and Ham is still hanging has one of my favorites! Heat or no heat, everyone has to eat!!! Stop in and visit us....see what surprise we may have for you...see yo soon! Don't worry, I will be bubbling with info after all my visiting is done too!
