“It’s not that I don’t want to help you, Dorothy, I do…But I’m no Jessica Fletcher. I have no idea how to solve a murder.”
Rachel Ekstrom Courage, Murder by Cheesecake

“Her friends didn’t need to know that the frosting was made from a cheesecake that had come out of the oven riddled with deep cracks. Instead of throwing it out, she’d scooped out the center and blended it with some extra whipping cream and sugar, making her own version of cream-cheese frosting. She’d always learned to make do with whatever life threw at her and knew better than to cry over split cheesecake.”
Rachel Ekstrom Courage, Murder by Cheesecake

“Big Daddy always said you should sample the milk before you buy the cow. Well, he actually said you should taste the milk of all the cows in the pasture, and your neighbor's pasture, and then decide whether you're gonna actually buy a cow or not.”
Rachel Ekstrom Courage, Murder by Cheesecake
