Just an update on the blackberry pie. We traveled to the Lake of the Ozarks this weekend and took our pie. It survived the ride largely intact except for a little jostling that caused some leaky juices.
The first night my husband and I cut two pieces, warmed them up and slowly ate them. The pie was wonderful! Our mm-mm-mmms got a couple of the kids interested and they too, had pieces. Just over half remained and I thought, great, when my brother and his wife arrive, we can all enjoy Mom's Recipe blackberry pie after dinner.
Following our meal, I went to serve the pie and only a sliver remained! What? Huh??? The kids had almost finished off the pie sometime during the day! Kids don't really like pie! Do they? Isn't there a rule or law or something stating that kids don't like pie...unless it's chocolate or ice cream pie. hee hee My kids and my nephew definitely like blackberry pie!
We all watched as my brother enjoyed the remaining itsy-bitsy piece. I will need to go blackberry hunting today.

How are you going to transport that pie to brother Marty? Maybe you better pick enough blackberries for more than one pie!
Perfect ending to a perfect pie! Doesn't it make us feel special to recreate something a loved one shared with us? Too cool!
Oh, so funny. I can just see it now. I love the way you tell stories and I am glad everyone enjoyed that pie.
