Please forward widely!

It’s that time of year, when hat hair is a reality and wet boots have to be left at the door. Frozen fingers and toes are warmed with lots of tea and hot cocoa, and you have heard so many Christmas songs that music is temporarily ruined.

I came to the conclusion a few years ago that soup is magic (influenced heavily by a friend, a soup evangelist) and decided to start a zine about soup, called

Bulbes.

It is currently filled mostly with recipes, but also some poems (written by myself and others) and essays and reflections and jokes about soup. Some of you have already submitted to the zine, which is why all this may sound familiar.

Unfortunately, I hit a wall at some point and never finished it, but this year is the year! I finally have both the funds and feelings to finish this project and I encourage all of you to send me

* Recipes (hot and cold soups are welcome)
* Artwork about soup (particularly cover artwork!)
* Soup poems
* Soup essays
* Soup songs
* Soup jokes
* Anything else that may be worth including in a zine about soup

Submissions can be original or found, new or old.

Submission deadline is January 20 (after all the craziness of this time of year and early enough so that I can finish it and send it out before the end of winter!) If you need more time, please tell me and I will plan accordingly.
If you want to snail mail me your submission, get in touch for my address.

Otherwise email is fine!

Happy holidaze to all of you.

Love,

Jennie

PS I got a big kick in the tuchus to actually finish this when I met Rachel Fershleiser, who kindly mailed me a copy of her much more punnily named “Stock Tips” last week.  It was pretty surreal to meet someone else who made a zine about soup!
