She was taught to clean chicken by rubbing a squeezed lemon over every piece and then rinsing it in boiled water with vinegar, the way her Haitian family had always done. Living alone, she began dropping steps to see whether the result changed, and it never did. Marlie Davis turns that into a question about which inherited habits you have never once tested.

Family runs through nearly all of it. A brother who tells her the truth precisely because he loves her. Sibling rivalry that parents worry about far more than they need to. Home schooling, teaching a child to enjoy reading, and what a wedding budget conversation actually sounds like out loud.

Faith sits beside that rather than in a separate compartment, and so does marriage, including one hard post about what quietly corrodes one.

Twenty six short posts. Read the chicken one first, because it shows you how she thinks, then follow whichever family subject applies to you.
