posted a Quick Tip about Bibimbap. October 05, 2011
posted in The Rice Table
Bibimbap
It's so simple (and easy to prepare), and yet, it's oh so delicious. I've had it with and without gochujang, and it's delicious both ways. Even though this is a great dish and surprisingly easy to make, …

Samgyeopsal
I normally don't eat pork, but samgyeopsal is DELICIOUS! I also love the whole communal bbq style deal that often comes with the cooking and eating of this dish. Awesome!

Miyeok guk
Avoid this soup at all cost! Unfortunately, it's the soup of choice for my school's cafeteria (I work at a high school in a largish city in Korea), and to me it tastes like sweaty socks. Ugh! Normally, …

Eragon (movie)
Don't waste your time. Fortunately, I'd read the book before seeing the movie, so I am not turned off of the series.

Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!
Pedro Almodóvar always does interesting and complex things with relationships in his films. This is might be a little bit of an uncomfortable film to watch if you're not prepared for it!

Haven't seen you in some time. Any Lunch reviews?

I just saw that your educational and teaching history in your "about me" section sounds a lot like mine! Totally cool! Right now I don't have a teaching position, though. I'm super sad...I guess it's ok, though, because I want to get my Ph.D. next. :)
July 04, 2010
I'm not teaching right now either *sigh*. I'm looking for a job teaching composition (though I'd love to teach a lit course--that's years into the future though). I'm going to be applying for PhD programs in the fall, but we'll see. The market's really difficult right now because EVERYONE is going back to school. Eeek. Good luck with applying/pursuing a PhD!
July 05, 2010
Yeah, I much prefer teaching the lit courses than the writing ones. I'm looking for jobs anywhere atm, even if they are not teaching positions. It would be nice to have some income coming in. I'm not too concerned if I don't find anything because of all the apps. Where are you applying for your Ph.D? Good luck to you as well!

Just stopping by to say thanks for following my contributions! Feel free to add me as a friend too, Gen!

BTW: I saw that you added some new Quick Tips not housed in a community. You can add them to Cafe Libri by clicking the "add to a community" button that should be above or near the QT.

I'm off to check the message you sent me now. Keep up the great writing!
