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!

Another site..will it be the One?
"Big Brother" and I spent all of today out searching high and low for a location. We may have found it right in our own back yard. Once "The Soup King" comes back we will have the final answer if we can move forward with this new site. All I can say is that it is close to home....in our neighborhood...people will know us. It could be the start we need. The one we have been searching for!
We have a shower to take care of this weekend so I am gearing up for cooking and prepping. Tea sandwiches and mini quiche offer a very elegant touch to the event, in my opinion anyway. "The Little Ones" are around to help so that is a bonus for me!
I am getting ready to head south to bring back "The Soup King". I am so excited! "The Boy" is not very happy about it but it is for the best right now...I have a plan. In five years we should be headed to Northern California, yes another new place! Anything is possible at this point...besides, who doesn't love do-overs? Try something new in a new place...I learned over the last year or so that it doesn't kill you, and it doesn't break you, its exciting and helps you to grow!
Ok...pay attention for the day to day update on our location...I'm telling ya, its coming and its coming fast!!!! Soon there will be bagels and soup to fill all the appetites we meet!!!

"The Soup King" returned and is off again!
"The Soup King" was back for a dance which was canceled by the non-existant weather. Hopefully the rescheduled date will be when he is back for good. Yes, he is coming back this month. He will continue to bounce from here to Sarasota but at least I will get more time with him now. "The Little Ones" all enjoyed spending time with their daddy so at least the snow days were beneficial that way.
"Big Brother" is anxiuos to get into a location, as am I....I just don't want to create any repeat issues. I am ready for everyone to know us and what we have...it just needs to be right on the money! All of the legal mumbo jumbo is making me crazy with signing a lease....there is always a loop hole for the bigger party to benefit from....its very frustrating....I am sure within the next two weeks we may have a location to release to everyone and an estimated date for an opening.......in the mean time I am getting ready to venture back to the Sunshine state to collect the rest of my family! And of course visit my "ZEN"!!!!!!
