I woke up at 5 am because today I was finally opening up the restaurant for business. I had already gave out some flyers for the opening of the restaurant and I added some things that would make my restaurant more popular

Firstly, for the first 100 customers I will give out free samples. Secondly I added a children's area, at a restaurant you always need that, no matter how fancy

So I showered and got ready and finally I left the house. Yes, without eating breakfast, but I was too pumped up to think about breakfast.

Finally I got to the restaurant, I decided to set up really early so that I have enough time to prepare. But first, I need to decide what I was going to prepare...

Hmm...Pizza, nope, Burgers, not good at that....wait I know just the perfect thing..

Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup, I know it's a really popular dish, but it holds a special place in my heart

You see there was this lady who would come and read us stories at the foster home, she would put two of the youngest on her lap and then read the story to all of us.

She would make a huge pot of tomato soup  and a lottt of grilled cheese sandwiches.I wonder if she still goes to the foster home.

So after decideding what I would make. I set a huge pot on the stove and I went to grab my ingredients

Hmm, Tomatoes, Cheese, Bread, Pepper, Basil, and a whole lotta spices. This was going to be worth it, I just knew it

...

After about an hour I was done making the soup, I would make the grilled cheese sandwiches when the customers arrive

I checked the time...8 am

I guess it's now time to open up the shop....I opened all the windows and all the doors and I looked out to see if there was anybody

and for sure there were people

just not coming to the restaurant.It's okay I can wait...

8.30am

9am

9.30am

10am

I yawned and just decided to wait a little bit more,

ok no more waiting, I closed one of the windows and I realized that I hadn't yet tried the tomato soup

I went to the table and grabbed the pot, big mistake, it was really hot

"oh my god, hot ,hot ,hot!!!..." I screamed as I put the pot on the window nearest to the door as I rushed to the kitchen to cool my hands

How is that thing still so hot, it's been 2 hours!!!

...

After failed attempts of safely cooling my hands I managed to wrap the last bandage around my hand, so much for safe cooking

I was about to get the keys to lock up when I suddenly heard a voice..."excuse me, excuse me....are you selling this soup?" a white haired man asked

"Well, Yes it is sir, why do you ask?" I smiled . "Well the thing is, this soup is really smelling good and I'm really hungry"He said while eying with pot hungrily

I chuckled" do come in and I'll serve you a bowl along with a some grilled cheese sandwiches if you don't mind"I said while carrying the pot, all bandaged up

ah life

"Of Course I don't, the more food the merrier.." he said jollily. I made my way to the kitchen while he took a seat. I started on the grilled cheese carefully making it the way I remembered it
