We picked black berries today. About a half gallon. It was very Mark Twain/Huck Finn because we literally had to walk down some old railroad tracks and back into the brush to get to them.  It was fun!

And using an online recipe, J made a cobbler which was so good I simply said, “It tasted like home.”  I couldn’t resist taking photos of the process.  And the recipe as a whole was so simple!  Back home, things always seemed so complex when Mom was making it! Ours tasted just as good. Mom would be proud.

And yes! I’m going to share the recipe!

1 stick of butter melted
1 cup of milk
1 cup of buttermilk pancake mix
