We rocked out four soups today. Our specials this week are Cold Cucumber Soup topped with green onions, almonds, and tomatoes, and Winter Squash Soup which has a nice touch of nutmeg. We of course made Chicken Noodle Soup and Broccoli and Cheese. Tomorrow we make a fresh batch of Chili! Yummy-Yummy!
"My Zen" will be in on Thursday to decorate our windows for Halloween....I can't wait. She is awesome..."Muscle Guy" was out with the sniffles today. "One Way" worked hard all day with me. "The Soup King" is busy with construction so we are working hard to balance everything.
We made this awsesome basket for the Sarasota Zombie Pub Crawl to raffle off at there crawl on October 17th. It was full of fun stuff....movies and drinks and snacks!!!!!!! I hope it helps them out....

Marketing...What fun!
So I have been working on things to get our name out there for all to see. We are hooking up with the Sarasota Zombie Pub Crawl, Gohound.com. Our web site will finally be completed within the next two weeks!!! I am still working on some ideas.....It would be great to drum up business. I like it busy not slow, of course.
We hired a nice young lady to work the weekends. She started today. She is cute and social. I like her. We just need a nick name for her. "Karaoke Boy", if you are checking up, yes, we will always have a place for you whenever you need it! See you soon and behave while you are away at school. Make good choices! We have decided to rename "Comic boy" to "One-Way". Why? I'm not really sure since he really isn't a one way individual. He likes it so we let it be!
I am working on a special for the week.....I think it might be a cold soup. I will keep you posted. Enjoy the weekend and remember we are open again for Saturday and Sunday! Stop in for something good!

getting Ready...
Well we are getting ready for our busy time. We just joined Phillippi Shores Business Partners Program. I can't wait to get involved and to help out the school! Everything sounds exciting so I will keep you posted on the fun things we get to participate in at school.
So yesterday I was sad....So sad to say goodbye to Patrick Swayze! My favorite actor of my teenage years! Dirty Dancing is still one of my favorites! So sad, our hearts and prayers go out to his family and loved ones. One great movie line, "Nobody puts Baby in a corner!".
On a lighter note, we banged out two soups today. Tomorrow will be a little busier! Three to four to get down. I am going to make a Carrot Soup for a second special this week. Something a little lighter than the Cream of Navy Bean Soup. (it does smell great!)
This weekend will be our first weekend back after the summer. Remember, Saturday 11am to 7pm and Sunday 11am to 6pm. I'm sure I will be there at some point. Soccer Saturday, Cheer leading Saturday, and yes Church on Sunday! Stop in and check us out....New things happening!!!! Find us on Twitter.com!!

Slow but Steady.....
The Soup King is a bit slow right now but steady. I am still cooking everyday so I guess that is a good thing! We are going to have Navy Bean Soup with Ham next week. Starting on September 19Th we will be open on Saturday and Sunday again. We will open at 11am and close at 6pm. Stop in for your weekend favorites. Besides, everyone has a million places to run to so who has time to cook!...
"The Soup King" is gearing up for his construction life to take over again. Work is gradually coming to light, maybe times are ready to change. "Muscle Guy" is busy running around with his special friends on the weekends....I guess we will have to work something out for him with working on Saturdays again. "Comic Boy" has informed me that he does not like his nickname....I have been trying to come up with a new nickname but I am just drawing a blank.....Any suggestions? "The Little Ones" have been busy with school, soccer and cheer leading. Maybe closer to November they will be back to work. "Little Miss Responsible" is as happy as can be to be in PA. She started school on the 9Th and loves it, even though I made her take a full roster which includes honors Chinese for a language. No, Spanish II was not enough. I get to go home and see her soon so I am very excited about that!
No, there really isn't much drama going on here these days. Since "Fire Chick" and "Grammy" have left us things are very calm. We like it that way. I guess its all good since they both still chat every once and a while. It is what it is!!
We are planning some great ideas for our one year anniversary. There may be some cool give aways!!! We will keep you posted. Enjoy the weekend and stop in and see us!

Back To Work!
So everyone is back to school and I am back to work. Cooking was good this week. It took a day or two to get back into the swing of things but by Friday I was pulling the place apart to clean and inventory. I guess I am ready to work again. "The Little Ones" were hanging out Friday after school....without "Little Miss Responsible" here they will have to spend more time at the store with us. Yes we let her stay in PA for school. She is staying with my father so she will be fine. Of course I will miss my baby but I want her to be happy.
We are working on some specials for this week. Yes there is Wild Rice and Sausage...and tomorrow I will be making Lentil Soup. That was a request today so I will bang that one out first thing. After that I should be pretty caught up and can then focus on paperwork!(YUCK!)
So stop in and say hello....if you mention the blog over the next two weeks you can save 10% on your meal! See you soon!

The Last Blast!!!
So today was the last family blast for a while. The new baby was baptized and we had a great celebration after the ceremony. I am going to miss everyone so much!!! My sister in-law is following us back for a few days to have some vacation time in our new home front. She will also be bringing "Little Miss Responsible" back to Pa with her. She has had enough of Florida and is ready to stay in PA.......So finally... "The Soup King" has agreed to let her return for her high school career. I am going to miss my baby but I guess people send their children to boarding school all of the time so maybe that's how we will treat this new adventure!!!
Everyone was there at the patyt. Well, everyone we wanted to spend time with. It was great!The "Little Ones" were swimming and having fun with all of their cousins! "The Boy" was at the shore for the weekend with our PA neighbors and he had a blast....he got to the party late but he still held his new cousin! I even got a picture!
We have spent time with so many people during our visit. It definitely makes it hard to want to go back. Of course there are people around who we really rather not cross paths with but that is such a small issue compared to our heartache to be away!
I am still working on finding a PA location for another store so we can be close to our family! That is just so important to me. I want all of the "Little Ones" to grow up knowing that at the end of the day your family is what counts. It's unfortunate the "The Soup King" does not have that kind of bond with his family. My family despite any differences are always there even when we are angry at each other or disagree about things. Family is unconditional, well on my side any way!
"The Soup King" is anxious to have his family back in the same house with him...we have been gone for about six weeks. I think he is just tired of doing his own wash! (hee-hee) we all miss him very much so it will nice to see him again! As different as we are i still love him! besides, he is really cute! I will not be back in the store to work til the 24th when all of my "Little Ones" return to school. "Muscle Guy" has informed me that two new individuals have joined our team. Can't wait to meet them and see how they are working out.
Sounds like the special for the week will be Cream of Onion. I made lots of soups why I was here for everyone to taste and they can't wait for a store to open. No, I didn't share any recipes......that would only be done by someone who is spiteful and nasty!!!! "The Soup King" is working on a cookbook that maybe one day will be available for all.....we will just have to wait and see.
The fall brings a very busy buzz to the store so I am sure that he is eager for all of us to return so we can help out at the store. Well I will keep you posted on how our 16 to 18 hour drive was with all of the "Little Ones" and our new guests who have decided to take a chance at this new adventure!!!! Keep a weathered eye on the horizon!

Still Hanging With The Family!!!
We are still hanging out up here in PA!!! "The Soup King" is running things right now and juggling everything else he does...As we visit our family I am looking for locations to open a store in PA. I think it would be awesome. "The Soup King", not so much, he likes Sarasota...he never wants to live up here again! I really don't have many friends, I just have a big family that I love very much! Yes, despite all of our differences and faults....we still manage to love each other! That's really what family is anyway, right?
I have to admit that I do miss the store and the boys! The "Little Ones" are exhausted everyday from running with friends and cousins! This past weekend we went to see the new baby at his home in New Jersey....so adorable!!!! Almost makes me want a baby again...then I realize, I have five!
I checked in today...did some emails and ordering for "The Soup King". Have to check in....yes I am gone a long time but I still worry. Sounds like things are going well. "Muscle Guy" was out today...things to do, people to see! "Comic Boy" and "Karaoke Boy" were in to assist "The Soup King" with the daily events. "Karaoke Boy" will be leaving us for college soon which will be sad. He says he will be back at his breaks to help out! Let's hope so!
Tomorrow brings another visit with friends so I am excited. We are off to see my twin godsons!!! They are four years old and yes they are absolutely like "Jeffrey" from Bill Cosby's stand up routine as Himself!!! it should be fun... We are watching my great niece again tomorrow too!!! She is just so cute that I want to take her home with us!
Well I guess that's good for now on the family updates....I have yet to hear from "The Soup King" to give you an update on soups.....I will check in again tomorrw!!! Chat with you then!
