This is hard work: 78 year old Chinese Cook in Japan

I wonder if he need to work or wants to do that work.

I think he lives in an NYC apartment, that ain’t cheap.

Do you see yourself at 78 still measuring and reviewing audio gears, @amirm ?

Good question. I don't really know. I think I have at least 5 years if this work to do.

Oh... thought this was next week...

Writing reviews is rarely lucrative. Car and Driver writers are at the peak of the game, and they're driving loaner Porsches usually. Only a handful ever get their own.

I miss the dot com boom.

Yeh, we could have taken ASR public by now with valuation of $100M if not more!!!

I think we are 3 years into intensive review work. Original goal was 5 years of that but then we expanded into so many categories of audio that I need to keep going for quite a while to get good coverage. And get the industry encouraged to built better engineered products.

She is inspiring me to make some. Have never made Char Siu from scratch though. Been meaning to.

If you'd like, I can send an undoubtedly superb recipe your way, from one of the greatest Chinese cookery writers around
