What are the foods that you can only taste in memories? Your mother's biscuits? The mud (泥) pies you made as a child? And what are the recipes that bring those memories to mind?

This morning, for the first time in more than a year, I made Dutch Babies. From scratch. And I didn't burn them. Yes, I'm the kind of cook who's always amazed to pull anything out of the oven that isn't burnt. But sometimes, I get lucky.

What are Dutch Babies? Picture a cross between a pancake and an omelet (煎蛋饼) that tastes better than both. They're easy to make, and you can make a lot of servings (一份食物) in one pan (平底锅) at the same time.

Making Dutch Babies brings to my mind some of the happiest memories of my life. I was given the recipe by a dear friend Sally, a cook who knew a great dish when she tasted it.

I've made Dutch Babies a few thousand times for sleepovers (夜宿的客人) and houseguests and Sunday suppers. They were always a hit, even if I burned them.

After my kids grew up, I didn't cook much for years, except for holidays or other big occasions. But if I had a full house, I'd make Dutch Babies for breakfast.

I can't recall the last time I made Dutch Babies, before today. I know it was more than a year ago, before life as we knew it was shut down for COVID-19, and we stopped having guests.

So why did I make them this morning for only my husband and me? It's been a hard year for all of us, filled with things we couldn't do. I was hungry to celebrate being alive.

I mixed up the ingredients and stuck it in the oven. While it baked, I thought of all the family and friends I've baked it for over the years.

Good food can feed a hungry crowd. But if it's made with love and seasoned with memories, it can fill a soul with hope of better days to come. Add your own memories. And say thanks to my friend Sally.

Real financial security and freedom is not in our job but in our passion. It's easy to define and evaluate a man by his pursue Joseph Campbell once said, "Follow your dream and the universe will open doors where there are only walls."

In life, we'll always be found doing any of these two things: either making a living or making a difference. Pensions (养老金)and salaries stop many from pursuing excellence while passion unlocks hidden potentials that equip us for challenges and opportunities. A job helps us make a living while passion enables us to make a difference.

I want to sincerely help to adjust and clarify the misguided belief among workers that a job is a means of livelihood. Rather, it should be a means to fuel our passion. The earlier you realize this basic truth of life, the more clearly you'll be able to position yourself in living a life of impact and value.

The success of Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) shows how meaningful it is to pursue your passion instead of your pension. Its founder, Colonel Harland Sanders, didn't realize this until he was given his first social security check of 105 dollars. But he decided that there surely was something to do for himself and other people instead of living on that small pension. He was determined to engage himself in what brought him impact and value. Drawing inspiration from his mother's special recipe for fried chicken, he invented "finger-licking" seasoning with eleven spices and herbs. Despite much rejection, he managed to round up some investors and promote company's rapid expansion to more than 6,000 locations. Sanders' life pointed towards two facts about making a difference: one, there is no age that is too old to make a difference; two, there is nothing too small or insignificant to make a difference with, as long as it is your passion.

If you walked by James Fasulo's bedroom, in Queens, New York, you might hear the 8-year-old talking. You might think he was speaking with a friend, or with his 4-year-old sister, Anna. More likely, James would be talking to his smart speaker, an Echo Dot. "I use it daily," he says.

James often asks his Dot to tell jokes, report the time and temperature, and play music. And his sister? "She asks it to play songs from Frozen," he says.

As of December 2017, there were about 67 million smart speakers in households in the United States, according to a study by National Public Radio and Edison Research. A year later, that number had jumped to nearly 119 million. That's a 78% increase.

"Families are very interested in trying these products," says Caroline Knorr of Common Sense Media. Kids like James and Anna also love that they are fun.

Smart speakers include devices (设备) such as Google Home and Amazon Echo. Common Sense Media made a survey of more than 1, 000 parents with kids ages 2 to 8. The survey asked about how kids use smart speakers. It also asked about privacy.

Nearly half of the parents said their kids use the speakers, and half of those kids use them daily. Of parents who have, at some point, turned off a smart speaker's microphone (麦克风), about one-third of them did it because they didn't trust the device.

"A smart speaker might behave like a human in some of the ways it answers us," says Florian Schaub, an assistant professor at the University of Michigan School of Information. "But that's really a company collecting data (数据) about you. Everything you say to a smart speaker is recorded by these companies."

"Companies use the recordings in different ways," Schaub says, "such as to personalize service or decide which ads to play." If users don't like this, he suggests they mute the speaker when it's not in use and consider setting privacy controls.

James Fasulo says he doesn't worry about privacy. But his mom, Nancy Ellwood, does. "Sometimes, the speaker flashes (闪现) its lights when we're not talking directly to it, " she says. "I wonder what it's doing."

Most Western people slept in long nightshirts until the early 20th century. British colonists brought home with them comfortable sleepwear worn by inhabitants of their colonies.

By the 1920s, the fashion trend had found its way across the Atlantic to America's shores. Envious of the appearance and comfort of men's pajamas (睡衣), women soon began trading in their nightgowns for fashionable trousers with jacket tops (上衣) made from silk for nighttime sleepwear.

The 1934 film It Happened One Night, a romantic comedy starring Claudette Colbert and Clark Gable, is sometimes attributed to having started the trend of women wearing this style of sleepwear. In one scene, Colbert is seen wearing a pair of pajamas borrowed from the character played by Gable.

Kids also found them to be warm and comfortable for sleeping, as well as for watching TV before going to bed. Often decorated with cartoon characters or kids' favorite action heroes, a new set of pajamas given as a gift during the holidays became something of a tradition.

Today, it's become acceptable in some circles for women to leave the house wearing sleepwear while dropping the kids off at school in the morning, shopping or running errands (办事). A judge in the US has attempted to ban sleepwear for people appearing in his courtroom.

The popularity of pajamas has been boosted by celebrities who publicly wear pajamas featuring original designs from major fashion brands. It's obvious that stylish pajamas are a trend both in the bedroom and on the streets.

A. Hollywood also played a part.

B. There are, however, apparently limits.

C. Pajamas weren't reserved only for adults.

D. Soon there were pajamas designed for women.

E. This kind of comfortable clothing is increasingly welcomed in various settings.

F. Loose-fitting pajama trousers slowly became men's favored sleepwear.

G. People throughout the UK soon found the lightweight clothing ideal for sleeping.

I arrived just in time to get a 18 and jump on the last boat. I have never been more 19 and thankful for someone's 20 toward a stranger.
