Still searching but still cooking!
We are still working on our location. We need a prime spot but within reason. We would like to be successful not end up in the poor house...Needless to say rent is a working progress. Everyone has a golden egg!
"Big Brother" moved over five gallons of Chili in a day.....Amazing! We will be knocking out a few soups this week so at least I have something to keep me busy!
"Frick" will be celebrating a birthday on Friday and I agreed to make an Optimus Prime cake.....Where is my "Zen" when I need her??? We will be having a family gathering on Sunday. Of course "The Soup King and The Boy" won't be here and that is upsetting but it should be nice despite that small heartache!
I am already thinking about an opening celebration for our store....we want a cake from The Cake Boss....How much fun would that be with our two logos and fun stuff like that all over it!!! Lot's of fun ideas going on....can't wait to get back to work. In the mean time I have been thinking about taking a class or two but I guess I should make that choice soon since classes start this week.....I just need to get back to work and soon...not just a few soups here and there, I mean hard core rock out three or four batches at five gallons a clip.....Being idle is making me crazy!!!!
Well, stay tuned....maybe we can have some good news on the site search before you know it!!!! In the meantime, Redhouse Bagel's is selling our Sweet Chili this week so stop in and try a bite!!!! Oh Yeah, their wraps are great!!!!

Our meeting is about to take place...Let's hope we only need one to get what everyone needs to get this site! Keep your fingers crossed.
As for all of you who are missing your yummy soups....I am sorry that I moved away. I just needed to be where I have the highest level of comfort..my home town.

We are working it!!!!
"Big Brother" and I knocked out five gallons of veggie broth, New England Clam Chowder, Spicy South Western Black Bean and Veggie soup too. Today was our first order of soup for whole sale. We have a few orders lined up already. Needless to say we are very excited. Yes, I am still trying to get "The Soup King" to move back from the sunshine state but he is not having it.
We are still waiting on info about our site.....hopefully by the end of the week we are good to go!!!!! Well just a little update for everyone. Oh and "Big Brother's" wife is going to be called "Survivor Woman". She beat Breast Cancer three years ago and remains cancer free to date! Yeah Mama! If she can survive that and this fun ride she can survive anything we throw at her!

Get to Know Us....
"Big Brother" was out at a Poker Fundraiser for Ramblers in Bucks County tonight. He took "The Soup King's" famous Sweet Chili to help people to get to know us and our product and of course to help support their efforts of raising money for their organization. It was a great success. Everyone loved the chili and loved how it is so different from the everyday chili you can get just about anywhere. It was a last minute decision to do chili. We were going to take about 2 gallons of Potato and Ham and I said that it was a shame we didn't have chili made because that goes great with cards and men and of course drinks! "Big Brother" said, well....make it let's run with it...so we did. It was a busy Saturday but of course fun.
So...let's tell you a little bit about my "Big Brother". He is a big guy who likes to kick back and enjoy his time. All of his time. Even time spent working. (this will be great for our work environment!) He is a family man, three boys, and a great wife with a lot of patience. Sometimes my "Big Brother" likes to have of a little too much fun and she always smiles and goes with it! He is a lot like "The Soup King" in that way. Fun is key. The boys are fun, 17, 9, and 5. They fit right into the mix with our "Little Ones". I am working on some nick names for those guys. We will keep you posted on that topic. My "Big Brother" is 6 years older than me and is the only boy in our family. Yes, my older sisters sometimes think that my mom favored him...She just liked us more than each other at different times but loved us all! We have had a love/hate relationship our whole lives, he would smack me across the back of the head when he walked by, I would scream even if he didn't hit me to get him in trouble. Over all we can yell at each, tell each other how much we hate the other, then move on like nothing ever happened. It makes it fun. We work well together.
Tomorrow brings another day of cooking. We are getting samples together for our tentative new landlord. We are looking to win him over through his belly! You know the old saying, the way to a man is through his stomach....I agree and we have the food to make it happen! We are thinking of Broccoli and Cheese, South Western Black Bean, Tomato Basil....of course our Sweet Chili will make an appearance. We have already given up the Potato and Ham, Chicken Noodle, and Cream of Chicken and Mushroom. He will be so stuffed on Monday!! We can't wait!
Needless to say...we are pushing forward with a great amount of thrust to hook people on our product..Once you taste what we have, you will want to always come back! Stay tuned for the next update.....maybe "Drama" will be out and about helping to sell!

Soon To Be.....Just Wait and See.....
Well the first round of negotiations have been set into motion for our new location. Bagelocity and The Soup King will be up and running very soon. "It's all about the B and S.....the bagels and soup!" We are very excited about the new menu and can't wait to get our products out to everyone! "The Soup King" is back in the Sunshine State for now but will hopefully be joining us here in our home town soon. "The Little Ones" have all adjusted to another new school without skipping a beat! I just need to keep busy...That really isn't hard. We are already getting orders for catering and whole sale of our soups. This is always a good thing!
"Party Boy" seems very interested in venturing to a new state for work which is very exciting for us. "The Boy" is still in the Sunshine state too. Finishing 8th grade was important for him. I am hoping to have him back sooner than later too. The girls are just eager to get back into their own house so May cannot come fast enough!!!!
Well, "Big Brother" is very excited to get started with work. He is definately networking to get the word out that we are getting ready to launch something new and different to the area!
Stay posted....hopefully by next week we can reveal our new location!
