I can't remember the exact provenance of the post b/c it was 10 years ago at this stage but someone made a post with a loose recipe for what I think of as depression egg sandwich, but make it fancy. Thank you to that person. The amount of times depression egg on toast has saved my life, when no one else got me etc etc. The original recipe is, if I remember correctly, fried egg, feta cheese, rocket, & maybe hummus on toast. That's it. A simple, dignified meal; works for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. And very adaptable: to wit, I had it tonight with roasted peppers and halloumi in place of the greens and feta respectively.

Selecting course texts for the intro classes is so hard b/c they have to:

Be engaging to a group of 17/18 yr olds

Not contain overly complex diction b/c many students are esl

Contain little to no specific historical or cultural context b/c the methodology of the course is really just traditional formalism/close reading

Not be one of the 200+ texts taught by other teachers*

I set an Ishiguro novel last year but so do many of my colleagues b/c his work really does hit the first 3 criteria so well. But a few ppl were sniffy with me that I set the same novel as another teacher, although it was in a completely different course. Also I think if I reuse the exact same text, I'll be inviting students to cheat. lol we need a core curriculum, I'm dying here lads! Also, team teaching!! Let everyone play to their strengths.
