Great opportunity to learn corporate finance

I took corporate finance and valuation with Prof. Aswath Damodaran as a student at NYU Stern and they were two of THE BEST classes I’ve taken and I’ve taken a lot of classes. 

Now Damodaran is offering the opportunity for anyone to take his classes online for free. This is an amazing opportunity and if you’ve ever thought that you would like to start a business or just know more about running a business or that an MBA would be cool, but the debt would be not cool…you should do this.  It’s a lot of work, but you will not regret it.

Dinner Tonight: Momofuku Ramen

I’ve been cooking out of David Chang’s Momofuku cookbook for about a year, so it was finally time to break down and try the ramen. I’d held out because it’s a pretty daunting undertaking.

There’s a shredded pork shoulder. Roasted pork belly. A chicken stock made from pounds of chicken necks and backs. A Japanese barbecue sauce called “tare” made from another chicken back and a third of a pound of bacon. A sous vide egg. A thousand possible garnishes and embellishments. And I didn’t even TRY to make my noodles from scratch. 

The end result is fantastic, but holy hell is it a lot of work. Not hard work, certainly, but a multi-day affair that will claim most of the pots in your kitchen at one time or another. I have a definite appreciation for single-focus ramen shops. The work and care that goes into truly exceptional ramen is easily enough to occupy a kitchen. 

Also, one clear reason that everything Chang does tastes so good is that it’s all just bathing in fat. My kitchen is coated in this patina of schmaltz, pork fat and bacon grease.

In no way should you construe that in a pejorative sense.

This piece of bone shaped candy has been on the floor at work for 7 weeks- moving a bit down the hall every few days. I’m tracking its progress. Soon it will escape.

a couple weeks ago, I booked a hotel in Maine for a couple of days.  I just received a confirmation letter by mail - US postal service mail.   I’ve never even heard of that.
