Despite the heat the store was busy til about 2pm....we were out of a lot of bagels and everything! Redhouse decided to shut down their ovens because of the heat...Everyone is melting...I event think the bagels feel that it is too hot! We do have Gazpacho for a refreshing treat right now...Strawberry soup came and went quickly. We are also at the end of our Crab soup so stop in and grab so while you can...
So after it calmed down in the store yesterday, maybe around 2:30 - 3:00 "Big Brother" and I decided to send "Little Miss Responsible" and "Miss Thing" to get us soft icecream....While they were gone two guys came in and ordered food...very cool, they sit down are eating. The girls return with our ice cream..."Big Brother" and I sit down at the table behind them(we always sit at this pareticular table) look out the window and then almost fall out of our chairs at how bad the park job is from the icecream run! So of course we are mean and start teasing "Little Miss Responsible" by saying, "OMG you almost hit the car next to you", "What kind of park job is that...." just on and on about the car next to her and how she might as well as parked on it...In the midst of this the two guys at the other table are on the phone..."Big Brother" tells "Shooter" to start a BLT on white..I look around, no one new entered the store...so I ask "Why are u making him make food?" "Big Brother" replies, "they are taking food home with them". Now I am thinking is he forcing food out of the store....no..he was litsening to their phone call! Back to teasing about the car we go...he was wrong on the toast, wheat not white..now I call him Stalker....All the while these two guys are still listening to us...The car that was almost hit....Was theirs! Could not believe it when they walked out our doors and climbed into the car right next to our bad park job! Oh my! I can only imagine what they must be thinking about all of us!!!!!
Super Chevy was a fun time last weekend..not too hat til Sunday thank GOD! "Little Miss Responsible" ran a 13.18, the fastest "The Soup King's" car has ever run until he raced in the 3rd round and did a 13.15. But I do have to say that she is not chasing RPMs, he is.....I see a new racer in our house! lol...
Of course we return to our normal teenage drama that I could just soot myself over but what can we do...Our website should be launched by the end of this week so be ready to check us out on line!!!!! YEah Baby!!!!

One Crazy Summer....
Cold soups have been limited so far...I know when will there be a larger variety? I need more people to stop in and try them then I can make more. Thursday, July 14th We will have Strawberry Soup! Everyone loves this one! We are operating under our new hours right now so everyone remember to call or check the door....Our website should be completed by next week!! It will have our menu up, our hours, some fun photos and contact information!
Of course we have our daily drama rockin' around the store amongst the teens....."Drama" is enjoying her enrichment program at her high school. "Wombat" and "Boo" have begun a little date thing or a something which has caused drama between "Wombat" and "Little Miss Responsible" I just do not understand....It has been crazy but I guess they will all learn the hard way of how to handle any type of relationship in their lives...I just hope they do not hurt each too much..."Little Miss Thing" has been handling the drama well since there were some feelings between "Boo" and her as well...Oh what tangled webs we weave!!!
Super Chevy weekend takes place this weekend at Maple Grove RaceWay...This will be "Little Miss Responsibility'" first time actually running "The Soup King's" camaro!! We are all very excited! Hopefully next year we can have a race car with the store logo!
Keep an eye open for new menus to reach you at home! We are doing a mailing for the menus......plus there will be about 4 or five coupons in the menu!!! We are also going to be in the clipper with a great deal to by gift cards for the store...Just an FYI for everyone!! See everyone soon!

Hit the Movies....
So we went to see the Transformers movie last night at 12:01...It was awesome!! All of the "Little Ones" enjoyed every last bit of it!!! I have to admit, so did I...even though I really just wanted to go to bed. I was crabby when we were leaving...then all 9 of us pile in my truck to head to the show..Of course I am barking, "just get in already"..Then "The Soup King" starts the car..what plays on the radio, my CD to teach Italian..All of the "Little Ones" are laughing because they have no idea what it is. As we pull out of the drive way, we are all now repeating the new words that we are learning! It was great! So anyway, why is it that we love Optimus Prime so much and he isn't even real? Go figure...
"Big Brother" is back to working at his trucking job for now...Yes he is very tired. He goes in at 2am, works til 10am then shows up at the store to work til we close...Makes me exhausted just thinking about it! Soon "Big Brother" that we not be necessary! The "Young Ones" are all working hard this summer...We have them schedule a lot but they all do a great job so we enjoy it.
Chicken Corn Chowder is done and ready for you to enjoy! Thursday I will be making Crab soup. Get some before you head to the shore!

Oh My!!!!
So we had to replace the air conditioning last week...What an event that was! At least the store will not be 100 degrees again...The job is done, the place is cool..almost cold! Sometimes I put my hoodie on! Love it!
So we did our six month evaluation...oh my is all I can say...Its nice to know that we have been trying to stay competitive price wise with the other businesses around us but for goodness sakes...we are at a loss right now....Between our rent increasing and giving our product away this unfortunately means that we need to raise some of our prices which we are very "salty" about. I really do not like change but if I want our doors to stay open we have to do it...Our website will have all of the new prices for our sandwiches...and we will have new menus in two weeks or so....I am sorry but we want to maintain our quality of product so this is a necessary evil....Please remain faithful!
We will offer more perks, check our face book page for the word of the day to gain a discount!! And don't forget about our $5.00 lunch deal we have that will help!!!! Keep the faith we will have new menus with coupons in them and everything....Trust us we want the best for everyone!!! Stop in and chat with us if you are concerned about any of these issues!!!

Summer Time..Summer...Summer Time!!
It has been a while but we are back on track. "Drama" and "Boo" graduated this month so there was a bit of distraction for "Big Brother" and myself but we are focused again....Right now we have three specials..Italian 3 Bean Soup, Cream of Chicken and Rice, and Crab Soup. Stop in and enjoy! Don't forget about our $5.00 Lunch deal!!!
School is out and the "Little Ones" are restless already...looking for fun stuff to do..We have a lot going on this week. The health inspector was in last week and passed us without any issues what so ever, which is awesome!!! We also have 4 team members sitting for their Serv-Safe certification...study study!!! The test is hard but use your noggin!!!
"Crash" is back to work finally..we were missing him..."Little Miss Responsible" will be a lot this summer too... "Boo" and "Miss Thing" are away for Senior week but they will be back soon and ready to work! Now if I could just catch a small trip of my own I would feel complete!!!
The Strawberry Soup seems to have gone over the best so far with everyone. I am a little leery about making the others...cold soups scare people....They are odd and require a specific type of taste buds to enjoy...I just don't know!!! Well come on and visit!!!! See ya soon!!!

Summer Hours
"Customer Appreciation Day" was a success!!! We had a lot of fun....games for the kids and music to jam to all day was just really cool! I can't wait for the one year party!!!
So we have come up with summer hours, Monday thru Saturday we will be open from 6am to 3pm, Saturday and Sunday 7am to 3pm...starting June 21st to October 1st. Trying to evaluate the best hours was a challenge..We just figure that with how the winter will be we should take some time for family...They hardly remember who we are right now...lol...Yes we expected that but the winter time, I think I will set up a bed in the back next to the kettles so I can just make soup all day and night!
"Ya-Ya" and "Big Brother" are certainly enjoying working together...they have the most interesting conversations! Sometimes I wonder how they even get started with some of their topics. "Hollywood" will be busy singing and DJing all over this summer..we will have to list her show dates and all that fun stuff! Anyone up for a night??? All of the "Little Ones" are anxious to be done with school for the summer..as am I but I really have no idea what they plan to do??
So the air conditioning does not work right in the store...I am out of my mind! I do not like the heat...this is why I left Florida!!! We are working on getting this issue corrected....When we do the store should feel great since I like to see my breath!!!
The cold soups have seemed to make a positive impression on many!! Our Strawberry Prossecco was by far the biggest hit! Now I have to work on making it a few times a week! Yummy stuff...I think next week I will work on the Apple Soup! Always looking for something new!
"Big Brother" is heading out for a golf outing this week...Should be fun! Five days...Oh my! I hope I don't go insane!!! I can't wait to take a vacation and just hang out with my "Little Ones"! I miss them....
Stop in....check out our $5.00 Lunch...eat smile and be happy! See ya soon!
