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!

Still Away??
Our trip is still at a very high pace! We are visiting with cousins and friends and enjoying every minute of it!!! Returning to school so soon is not something that any of us are looking forward to! We are excited that as we return to Sarasota my sister in-law and my two nephews will be driving back with us! We get an extra five days of family!!!!!! YEAH!!!! Our third week is just about over and we still have so much to do! The "Little Ones" really miss their own house up here! Staying at Grandpop's is great for me but they want their old rooms back......Oh well, maybe in another year or so!
"The Soup King" is still working hard on new soups.....Cream of Onion is one of his newer features! I still like the originals! Well after I touch base with "The Soup King" I will give you a heads up on next weeks specials! Enjoy!

Philadelphia Fabulous!
We are home and loving it! Yes, it would be more fun with "the Soup King" here too but we can't have everything. The store is doing okay...we are not do back until mid August. Tomorrow will bring us a new baby to the family and we can't wait! The last week has been full of family fun....parties, baseball games...just fun stuff!
So yesterday was "Little Miss Responsible's" birthday! Yes 15 already.....The whole driving thing scares me. I guess "The Soup King" will have to take care of the driving lessons. I will do the prom thing...Oh he is good at that stuff too. We may have to flip for it! Over all she had a great day. She was just happy to be back in her hometown even if she didn't hear from everyone!
"The Soup King" has five new soups that will be making an appearance soon..I am still interested in finding a good location in PA!!! It is a working progress. Everything is always up for negotiation!
So the "Little Ones" and I just wanted to say hello.....we will keep you posted on our activities....I may actually make it to the Liberty Bell with them before we had back to Sarasota!

Ready, Set, Go!!!!!
The time has come for all of us but "The Soup King" to venture home!!!!! Today is my father's birthday and the goal was to be back in PA for this day....Unfortunately I am worried about leaving the store. I guess I really do like working and getting things done! I think we are going to miss the neighbors too! We love hanging out with them, they have great "karma"! The family is getting anxious for our return. Both sisters and my sister-in-law have called to find out our estimated date of departure. It feels good to know that we are missed so much!
"The Soup King" will be hanging back in Sarasota working on multiple projects. I am hoping that he starts with the new marketing idea that we have been given!!! Wait and see....it is so cool! I can't spill the beans yet but hopefully by Labor Day we will have it out in full force. The week before the 4Th of July was busy which is always nice..The "Little Ones" have been working very hard at the store so I am sure they are looking forward to a rest! I started a "myspace" for the store. It is very cool...lots of pictures and tunes on it to really let you know who we are as a family!
This week was busy for me! We knocked three cream based soups and a broth in one day! I think it is so cool to watch the soups just "bam!" come together! I like that I know most of the recipes without looking......we have fun. "Comic Boy" comes in early and we jam out to tunes like The Beatles then Meatloaf....work moves fast when you have fun! "Muscle Guy" is back to his old self banging work out and keeping the place looking spiffy. "Little Miss Responsible" has been at the house getting things ready for our trip....cleaning and prepping. "Drama" and "The Boy" have been at the store for the most part over the last week and a half. Its always fun when they start to argue over silly things! "Frick and Frack" just keep reminding me that we should be on the road already!
So, the Mac-N-Cheese is awesome! Just right! The taste is just really good....Very cheese, the macaroni is just right too.....Come on you know you want to try some!!!!!! Come in, just a bite! The $5.00 lunch deal is working out well. We keep seeing new faces, some familiar but new faces too! That is always good....I guess that means the word is getting around some how!
I can't wait to see what "The Soup King" has up his sleeve for next week. I think there will be some surprises to try..... He loves to eat!!!
We will be putting an awning up with more outdoor seating come the fall. We are working on better seating for in the store as well. I really want to make it comfy for everyone. I will keep you posted on our journey. Stop in and see "The Soup King", he will be lonely for a couple of weeks! Have a great one, then have some soup!
