Things have been a little quiet around the store front but it has been very hot and I have not put any cold soups out yet...I will be checking the weather and planning the soups a little better. I am looking forward to making Apple Soup!!! Sounds and looks yummy!!!! Come on in....breakfast is always bangin'..."Ya-Ya" makes a great bagel sandwich!!!

Holidays Approach Once Again

Cheeseburger Soup is back in the store by popular demand. Try it topped with cheddar cheese and bacon...yummy...taste like a bacon cheeseburger. The holiday weekend has brought up some concern with the family. That means trying to discuss our hours of operation. We have decided to close early on Saturday, 3pm and to not open on Easter Sunday. Everyone should be with their families for the day. We hope that everyone understands and appreciates our decision. We will reopen again on Monday at our usual 6am.

So much drama has transpired I really don't know where to begin....I guess the best thing to do is to not acknowledge it, but what fun is that? I think everyone needs to understand that when someone behaves inappropriate in our place of business or looks inappropriate in our place if business, it becomes our business. I am happy to mind my comments and my own business in my place of business. The fun part about the drama is that I have learned that there is no point in arguing with a fool because they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience. Needless to say a generalized statement has hit home and most people can not deal with the truth. Nothing to do but just keep our distance and move on....again, Good luck with things....

May 21st will bring a great day for all of us, we will be having a "Customer Appreciation Day" to say thank you to everyone who has supported us since we opened our doors. We will have games for the kids to play, face painting, a DJ, baskets to raffle off, and fun give aways. Stop by between 11am and 4pm on May 21st to enjoy what we have to offer. Look for it in the paper.....Have a great day and enjoy the holiday!

And so it goes...

So if anyone has been embarrassed or distressed by my earlier comments, I am really sorry. If my own child showed up to work with this issue, the same thing would have occurred. Just irony that things work out this way....So again I apologize for voicing an opinion and not wanting this type of behavior to occur.

Word to the wise, never mix business with friends...never works out.

As the Soup Sells....

Drama at the store has been so very interesting this week. They has been a lot of giggling and fun for lunch. "Big Brother" and "Ya-Ya" have been caught in some interesting conversations by customers....Remember family business.....lol...


The best is that we had a "young one" show up with hickeys all over his/her neck...I have been raised that this is like a dog marking their territory. My mother always frowned upon this type of behavior. So, I guess we all end up like our parents even when we swear it won't happen...I am the same way. The young one was told to go home and not to come back until the marks were gone. The individual was informed that when on my floor they are representing my family and "Big Brother"s family. This is not an image I want to portray. Then I proceeded to post a generalized statement on our facebook page about it saying, "Really? Hickeys??? So not acceptable for work....So you can be mad." I did not use names I did not specify who the individual was. IT gets better...The individual comments "Thanks for putting my business out there." Oh my! Now the individual has made it known who it was to the world, then proceeds to tell me that I am immature. Loving it! Just kills me that they think this is ok. Needless to say the individual quit. I am sure letting the parents think that I fired them. Gotta love being the bad guy.

"Ya-Ya" has a little stress in her life right now but is holding strong and doing what she needs to do..."Little Miss Responsible" is almost done lacrosse...so back to work she will be soon! "The Boy" has been working out a little better than usual. This is a definite plus. I had a tooth pulled this week so I am not a very happy camper...hopefully by Monday I am back to normal. "Hollywood" or "Do Re Mi" is doing her thing as she sings all day every day...We have a new chick working three days a week...It seems to be working out ok for now....keep your fingers crossed!

Crab soup is ready for all and we still have a little Minestrone left...Which happens to be my new favorite. I am working on some new soups for the next week...Can't wait to let loose and just cook!

The Lobster Soup is in the Pot!

Lobster Bisque is done....I also made Minestrone today.....The warm weather has us questioning our hours. Especially our Monday hours. Monday is slow 90% of the time. Maybe we can have two early days...How nice for the staff (and myself, but I won't tell). The weekend was steady and eventful. We had a lunch tray that "Big Brother" almost forgot about, well sort of did, but we did it quick! lol...Sorry! I was off this Sunday for "Drama's" mass at Nazareth, very nice....I really want to sleep in one day but maybe Tuesday when I have my tooth pulled! We are working on our "Customer Appreciation Day" we are looking at a Saturday in May...DJ...yes music...games, balloons, face painting....all kinds of events and give aways!!! Come out and play!!! We missed a grand opening so this is the next best thing...actually I think this will be better! "Little Miss Responsible" finally passed her driving test and got her license...fun stuff. She is enjoying driving around and sleeping in a little later before school...Must be nice..I rode the bus during my high school career! Stop in and try the Lobster....very yummy and of course very hearty!!! See ya soon!

Giggles at the store..

This morning has been lots of fun...we are laughing and just having fun. Over what...nothing, Great Adventure stories....all kinds of fun stuff. Working on cooking and just staying on top of things. I am taking Sunday off....yeah me! "Big Brother" was off last Sunday so, my turn......I just want to stay in my jammies for a day but things to do...proms to prep for.... I am working on making Italian Wedding Soup before the week is over if I am lucky and Lobster Bisque!!! Check in this week and see what's shakin'
