Default OT: Getting old - WAS: There's Hope for Us Yet Down Under

Yep, I can remember going with Dad and my siblings, piling into the
Ford Zepher (sp?) to the local Chinese (Kwan Wah in Brighton Vic) with
our saucepans in the 60's!
I still remember the flavour and aroma of the rice - it was smokey in
some way, and I have never been able to replicate it, nor seen it in a
restaurant since.
Gosh, we are getting long in the tooth!
Cheers
