Happy New Year, Happy Valentines Day, Happy St Pattys Day..its been a while...So Sorry.  There has been a lot going on at the store.  "Big Brother" and I have been back and forth with things, how to do things how not to do things.  Crazy stuff up and down.  "Big Brother" has decided to go back to his job. He is missed everyday at the store but I guess it was for the best.  Still love my "Big Brother" more than anything, that will never change!

We are amping up for the summer.  Things have been very buisy.  We are working on new ideas for marketing..we are getting new shirts that will make all of the ladies happy in house!  New summer specials will start the firswt of June.  We are also trying to make a decision on summer hours.  When to start them what they should be......Everything is moving along...

What's Shakin'?

So our annual Halloween Celebration was a great success despite the insane weather.....Everyone had a great time...the DJ did a great job. "Big Brother" had so much fun he was dancing in his underwear by the end of the night. "The Soup King" did not see the end of the night..he was out by 11pm..Oh my! "Irish Chick" was the same way..couldn't hang! We a had an old friend stop by with great costumes and everyone seems to believe that he is responsible for the drinks that put them over the edge....ya never know...

Business is picking up quickly...We are making more and more soups everyday. Right now we have Cream of Chicken and Rice. Tomorrow we will be making Cheeseburger Soup, back by popular demand. I am also working on Beef Broth so we can make Beef Stew and a Steak and Potato soup. Don't forget to stop in next week we should have a turkey soup special for the holiday!

All of the "Little Ones" are just rollin' along with life right now. Can't believe that the holidays are right around the corner!!! I do not even want to think about it.

We all had a great day working today...bouncing around chatting with our guests!!! We all seemed to enjoy ourselves...Stop in and say hello!!! We miss ya!!!

WHAT????

So last week was very exciting and stressful all at the same time. We had our air conditioning units stolen from the roof. We were 2 of 13 units taken. It was just so much fun...Our Bagel Guy asked me why our ladder was out and I just assumed that "Big Brother" was up on the roof on Sunday...and never put it away. A few hours later the ladies from the day care asked us about the ladder...because their units were gone. Then we checked...The chain was cut from our ladder! So of course I call "Big Brother" OMG!! You have to get here quick our ac units were stolen...just crazy. The police were here asap...very nice did their thing with pictures and DNA stuff. The property manager didn't get here til after the police were gone...Blah Blah Blah...

Of course it was warm last week...busy and warm...No air conditioning..we were dying! No one knew what was going to happen with the air conditioning...no news...So today...I hear noise and see things being tossed from the roof...who knew that they would be doing work today! The air conditioning is being replaced today. Surprise! Notification is always nice..common courtesy...I am a woman so guess not!! They came in and asked for "Boss Man" which everyone does..."Big Brother" knows how that makes me so he felt bad for the guys when he heard that...lol...So we will see if things get done right....lets keep our fingers crossed. We just want to move forward and have the store at 100%....I really don't think that is too much to ask...

On our soup note we have Tomato Bisque with Shrimp...Very good. We will be working on our Winter Squash this week and Our Pumpkin Soup!!! Very exciting...

We also want everyone to know that we will be closed on October 29th due to an annual family event. We will reopen on Monday at 6am as usual...Come dressed or have some sort of Halloween item and you can get a free cup of soup!!!! How fun is that!!!

Here Comes the Cool Weather!!!

Welcome Fall!! Hope everyone is adjusting well to the cool weather...This is my favorite time of year. I love the changing of colors and the smell of the crisp air. Plus I get to wear a hoodie and shorts! Love it!!

We will be working on major specials....Today we have Cream of Chicken and Rice. I am working on Pumpkin Soup, and we will have or Winter Squash as well. Check out our website for our winter hours.

Make sure you ask for samples when stopping in...we want everyone to enjoy their meal so if you sample our soups you know what to expect before sitting down...Some examples might be how spicy something is or how thick another soup might be. Some of our recipes go way back to great-great-great grand mom so the one you pick might be a "Stick to your bones" type of soup. We respect all comments, good bad, and indifferent....we will do our best to accommodate but remember, our recipe is our recipe.....If we changed it every time some one made a suggestion our consistency would be off....We do however make minor adjustments if and when needed....if you order the Split Pea and you find it too thick just ask and we can add some broth for you, personal preference is the key.

Out and About!

This weekend brings a new event for us! We will be at Parx Casino on Saturday, September 17th from 12pm to 3pm with lots of samples for all to taste! It is a fundraiser to help support our local boy scout troops! Its called "A taste of Bensalem". There will be lots of vendors there with tons of yummy things for everyone to try. They are asking for $10.00 at the door....Come on....it will be fun!

Of course we have had another hickey repeat but with someone new..oh fun..and yes again, go home..come back when its gone! Oh the drama!! Keep your relationships to yourself...ugh...young and dumb I must say!

Any way, all are back to school but "Little Miss Responsible" CEC is on strike and who knows when it will be done!!! "Drama" loves Nazareth she is having a great time so far...There is an open house on September 25th if anyone would like to check out the school!! I love the on-task college prep schedule that begins their freshman year!!! "Frik and Frak" are moving along doing their work and caring for their duck. yes, we are down to one duck...One passed away last week suddenly and they were devastated....Oh my....

Well I guess we are all caught up on our events...Stop in say high..its just about soup time all the time so we are ready and waiting with smiles for all!

Working on and on..

We have Italian Wedding Soup this week. it is moving pretty fast so stop in and get a taste before it is all gone! I will be working on chicken pot pies...hopefully by October 1st I have them ready to go.

Well "The Soup King" and I had a wedding over this past weekend...It was fun...I was wowing out!! I have been tanning and exercising so I look good in my "Wow-Out" dress...I ordered great shoes from Victoria's Secrete which were way high!!! Fun time...I looked good! Yeah!

Now I need to prep for my niece's wedding at the end of the month....what to wear to that one...We will have to wait and see!

Earthquake...Hurricane??

So haven't blogged in a while....What is up with Mother Nature?? The earthquake was felt in our store...Wild day..."Ya-Ya" thought that a car hit the building, "Shooter" was yelling at "Legend" to stop shaking the merchandiser, I thought I was just shaking the table while cleaning up...It was crazy. We still can't believe how they made an entire day out of it for the news after it happened..Oh my...

Now the hurricane...AGH!!! Let's prep...We did a good job getting ready for that. "Big Brother" ran and got dry ice just in case we lost power. Thank God he did...we lost power for two days!! So yes we had repeat visits for more dry ice. We did not lose anything which was wonderful since the Thursday before the hurricane I made 39 gallons of soup! I would have cried! Regrouping on Tuesday after the hurricane was a little challenging but we survived! It was a little crazy!!!
