“Put Food on the Table” Is An Idiom That Means More Than Eating
Politicians often say in their speeches that they want you to “put food on the table.” That is an idiom that means more than having something to eat. It means earning enough money to provide the necessities for you and your family.

NASA delays Artemis II moon launch after issues during rehearsal. AI-Generated.
NASA has announced a delay in the highly anticipated Artemis II Moon mission, pushing its launch from early February to March 2026 at the earliest. This shift comes after engineers encountered problems during a critical pre‑launch rehearsal known as a wet dress rehearsal — a full practice of countdown procedures that simulates real launch conditions without astronauts on board. The agency emphasized that the decision, while disappointing to space enthusiasts, reflects NASA’s deep commitment to safety, engineering rigor, and ensuring that this historic mission proceeds only when it is ready.

Georgian Cooking Class
I've turned 56 today and my niece, who is visiting me in Tbilisi, gave me a most wonderful birthday present - a Georgian cuisine cooking class taught by a wonderful chef Karolina. Before retiring, she used to be a tour guide, so we had a pleasure of not only learning how to cook traditional Georgian dishes but also of listening to her stories about Georgia and its culture.

To truly understand the soul of Hangzhou’s local life, you don’t need to fixate on the scenic beauty of West Lake. Just wander into Damalong Lane, nestled at the foot of Wu Mountain. This narrow alley—stretching about 230 meters from Chenghuang Paifang Lane in the north to Chayuan Qian in the south—holds the cultural legacy of a Southern Song Dynasty cavalry garrison, and more importantly, exudes the vibrant, down-to-earth vibe of old Hangzhou.

Famous City for Chinese Cuisine – Nanjing, Jiangsu
Nanjing, once known as Jinling in ancient China, is the birthplace of one of China’s top four famous snacks, Jinling Snacks. Nanjing cuisine has a unique profile, characterized by a balance of sweet and salty flavors, a soft and glutinous texture, and a strong emphasis on duck dishes. In fact, the people of Nanjing have an undeniable love for duck, to the extent that it is said “a meal is incomplete without duck,” and duck cooking techniques are even listed as a national intangible cultural heritage. The three representative duck dishes in Nanjing are Salted Duck, Jinling Roast Duck, and Duck Blood Vermicelli Soup. While you may not be familiar with or willing to try Duck Blood Vermicelli Soup, I highly recommend you try Salted Duck and Jinling Roast Duck.
