The Weight of Our Souls
“No one knew that the weighing of the heart remained alive, considering it was the belief in Ancient Egypt. Even though their faith diminished, it remains. Who knew my family had kept this part of the ritual alive when they first told me.”

The Arrangement
“Lucullus placed a live fish in a glass jar in front of every diner at his table. The better the death, the better the meal would taste.
Catherine de Medici brought her cooks to France when she married, and those cooks brought sherbet and custard and cream puffs, artichokes and onion soup, and the idea of roasting birds with oranges. As well as cooks, she brought embroidery and handkerchiefs, perfumes and lingerie, silverware and glassware and the idea that gathering around a table was something to be done thoughtfully. In essence, she brought being French to France.
Everything started somewhere else. She thought of Tim's note:
write to me
. He didn't want to hear about Lucullus and Catherine de Medici; but she loved her old tomes and the things unearthed there, the ballast they lent, the safety of information. She spread her notebooks open across the table. There was a recipe for roasted locusts from ancient Egypt, and on the facing page, her own memory of the first thing she ever cooked, the curry sauce and Anne's chocolate.”

“Do not tell lies against your mother,
the magistrates abhor it.
The descendant who does what is good.
His actions all emulate the past.
Do not consort with a rowdy.
It harms you when one hears of it.
If you have eaten three loaves, drunk two jugs of beer, and the belly is not sated, restrain it!
When another eats, don't stand there, beware of rushing to the table!”

Has become owner of jars of sweet myrrh.

She who saw her face in the water owns a mirror.”
