Want to Read $ 12.99"So that's why you're here. You're trying to help out Tita Rosie." I looked her in the eye. "Just because I left doesn't mean I was never there for my family. We all help in whatever way we can. Not all the Macapagal kids are deadbeats."-Mia P. Manansala, Arsenic and Adobo (Tita Rosie's Kitchen Mystery, #1)
"I handed her one of the little chiffon cakes, the top slathered in butter and sugar, and helped myself to one of the cheese-topped mamón. I tore it in half and a faint curl of steam rose up, as well as the smell of sweet butter and the sharp tinge of cheddar."-Mia P. Manansala, Arsenic and Adobo (Tita Rosie's Kitchen Mystery, #1)
"I piled the cookies, their lovely violet color peeping through a light coating of powdered sugar, on a plate. I studied the offering, then added a small bowl of vanilla ice cream as well as a serving of my ube halaya, the purple-yam jam I'd used to create the cookies, to the dish. Perfect."-Mia P. Manansala, Arsenic and Adobo (Tita Rosie's Kitchen Mystery, #1)
"I hustled back to the kitchen to prepare some salabat. The hot ginger tea would cure anything that ailed you, and I'd made a few modifications to boost the flavor and health profile. I set the electric kettle and pulled out the jar of ginger, turmeric, honey, cayenne, and calamansi, the last ingredient adding a refreshing hit of citrus tang."-Mia P. Manansala, Arsenic and Adobo (Tita Rosie's Kitchen Mystery, #1)
