NEW TO ME
The proverb "there's many a slip 'twixt the cup and the lip" means that a plan or expected outcome can easily go wrong before it is fully complete.
The myth of Ancaeus: According to legend, King Ancaeus was told by a slave that he would never live to taste the wine from his new vineyard. When a cup of wine from his grapes was poured for him, he mocked the slave. Just as he raised the cup, a messenger arrived to say a wild boar was destroying his land. He put down the cup, ran out to fight the beast, and died.

I never thought about this word, until I used it recently and was flagged for spelling, so I had to look it up!

FRUIT
Rambutan
The fruit is best known for the soft, flexible spikes—called spinterns—that grow on the outside of its thick skin. These spinterns helped give the rambutan its name, which comes from the Malay word for “hair.”
Other languages use similar descriptions for its unique look.
Vietnam: Called chĂŽm chĂŽm, meaning "messy hair".
Once you break inside their beautiful-yet-rough exterior, rambutans offer a floral, sweet flavor similar to a grape. Scientists, however, are looking to these colorful fruits for more sustainable uses beyond the plate.
