Is September 1st here yet or what!!!?!?!?! I just want to get started on construction want things to move along. The fundraiser that "Big Brother" attend was huge! Tons of people and tons of prizes. Thanks to all who went out and showed support for this beautiful young girl! The four gallons of chili that he took with him to donate was gone in just about one hour! That is amazing! Love to hear when people are enjoying the food...
I think that we will be taking a break from cooking once construction begins. We are so excited to create a great place for people to come in, relax, and enjoy a great meal. The environment will be very warm and friendly...almost like being at home except you won't have to cook and still you get a homemade meal! Can't beat that at all!
"The Soup King" himself is eager for us to get started so I am out of his hair....I am just kind of floating around right now, yes driving him crazy. "Drama" wants to get to work too. She likes to run a tight ship so we can't wait to set her up with her front end responsibilities!
All are prepping for the beginning of the school year so be safe and shop well for all those school supplies......Will let you know when we start banging walls out!! Lol....

September 1st.....Amen...I say Amen!!!
Finally, September 1st is our new date for taking possession of our site. We are banking on 4, max 6 weeks for construction. Yes..we are gutting both stores! One is going all the way down to the block...it is pretty bad in there! We will have pictures to show our now and then scenario! So exciting. We met with the engineers on Saturday so the plans should be done shortly, permits will be applied for and then we can move on. "Big Brother" and I are going for our test on the 26th....we are finally in a groove. Let's hope it stays that way!
We are making Chili for a fundraiser this weekend. The fundraiser is for a co-worker's daughter of "Big Brother". She is a 26 year old woman who was diagnosed with Leukemia, the worst stage possible. The Beef and Beer will be held at St. Dominic's in Northeast Philadelphia on Frankford Avenue. Tickets are $25.00 each and it is on August 21st from 7pm to 11pm. This includes all the beer you can drink and of course yummy food. The proceeds are going to help pay for her medical bills. Please do what you can...maybe we will see you there!
We always try to help where and when we can! That is very important to us......We are eager to give back to our community!!! We are really excited to introduce everyone to our great taste!! I have published our website finally. Yes it is still under construction but at least it is out there for people to check out. Building a website on your when you have zero experience is a bit trying!!! So when you view it just remember that it is a working progress! Here is the address for you to check it out! www.wix.com/soupking1/bagelocity--soup-king
Well...I will let you know how things are moving along in a few days! Hope to see some of you on Saturday!

And The beat Keeps Runnin'.....
You think they would just move....not be difficult or anything, just move. Still waiting...sounds like they are dragging this out til September 1st. Thanks to our great court system they should be able to appeal any ruling any way. Sounds like fun, ugh? Not! Any way, soups are moving along, still being made...keeping your attention. The Seafood Gumbo came out very good, as usual.
Our Facebook page is growing which is fun. We are working on funky cakes, you know, "Cake Boss" cakes. Of course we need lots of practice but I have to say that the girls and I are not doing such a bad job with no experience! And its fun!
"The Boy" and "Drama" are looking into modeling and all that fun stuff. "The Soup King" will be traveling to Manhattan with them in the next day or so...should prove to be interesting! I think he should take all of them!
So keep your eyes open for us...look for us on facebook...of course under SoupKing!!! Check out the family and all of our fun! Chat soon!

Just move on ALREADY!
Yes...we are still waiting to start construction. The current tenant has now taken it to the next level of dragging his move through the court system. Just move on already. Why can't people just let go when its time? We really don't want to look at other locations again...I want to be close to home and in our own neighborhood. "Big Brother" met with a friend about the plans so at least we have that ball in motion. "The Soup King" thinks we should explore our options....This is just crazy!
We got back into the swing of things a little bit this week with some Potato and Ham and Cream of Chicken and Mushroom soup. The broth came out beautifully! I just want to get back to work and move forward. The girls and I have been working on cakes with funky icings and designs. That's been a lot of fun. We are whipping up something this weekend for Aunt June's birthday.....can't wait to see what we produce this time!
Anyway, it looks as though we may not open til October or so if we can't get this guy to just move on.....Keep your ears to the ground and your eyes open for our sign...Hopefully the fates will have something a little kinder written in the stars for us!

This Should Just Be Easy....
So yes the lease is signed. We were supposed to take possession of the two stores on June 1st. The current tenant has yet to move out. Of course there is drama between "Big Brother" and "The Soup King" over how to design the store. I think that they should both keep their ideas to themselves and just listen to me for once.LOL...Anyway, we are off to a slow and bumpy start but like all great rides, what a way to start!
"The Little Ones" are anxious to get mom back to work....yes I cannot wait...I am going stir crazy at home. We have a new addition to our home, his name is "Thor"....yes he will be very big! So cute, love the puppy.
Stay tuned for the next update. Let's hope that by next week are plans are done and permits are applied for so we can begin construction....Say a little prayer as well we have a few friends in great need so when you talk to your "Greater Power" ask him to keep our little friend and our old friend in his good graces......chat soon!

Lease is Signed!!!!
Ok.....our new location is 5811 Bensalem Blvd, Bensalem PA 19020.....We finally got the lease signed and take possession of the store on June 1st...Let the hammers swing!!! We are eager to get started..."The Soup King" is working on the permits and plans while "Big Brother" and I finalize our menu...."The Little Ones" can't wait for me to get back to work......I am so bored that I am driving them crazy. "Survivor Woman" got a little nervous there for a second but is feeling all warm and fuzzy again...
The is house under way right now so hopefully we move back in before we start the store...doing both at the same time would be interesting.
We cranked out some awesome Chili this morning for Redhouse Bagels...and of course some for ourselves....Let me know if you are interested in a taste.
We are looking to have a soft opening mid to late August with our big "Grand" opening the weekend after Labor Day. I am still getting a cake from "cake Boss" even though "Big Brother" thinks I am silly.....We have the best love hate relationship.
It's fun to hear everyone warn about working with family.....that maybe true with some but we have a very different dynamic then most. We can yell at each other in one breath and with the next joke around. So...all with your advice and warinngs...we appreciate your input but....We got this!!!! No problems...no worries.....Be ready for us though...we are coming by storm!!!!

Moving forward....
"The Soup King" is currently working on a floor plan for the new store....."Big Brother" and I are eager to get started. It's been a while since my last update. We have been enjoying all of the "Little Ones" and the warm weather. It looks like Bensalem will be our new home for the store. Yes we like it because it is right around the corner from both of us. Easy to run home easy to run back....makes life doable.
"Big Brother" decided that we should go look at equipment last Friday. We traveled two hours away and then they did not have what we needed...he deserved a beating for waking me up early when no one had school...I am not a morning person...I told him we should just send a list over for pricing and he said oh no...lets go in person, put a face to a name...That's all well and good at noon but not 9am....not for me any way. It was fun after I woke up so I guess it was worth it...
We may have a meeting at the end of the week. We should receive a lease at that point. Once it is signed.....I will let everyone know where our exact new home will be!!!! Til then.....live large!
