Kindess

A stranger showed me kindness today.

Little Sister had a bad day, so I decided on my way home from work I would make her a blackberry chocolate chip pie because she loves it. I am a poor college student, so as usual, I scrounged up my dollar bills and change before going into Walmart to buy the things I needed for the pie. I got to the register, and I was $0.97 short, and kind of mortified.

Then, I heard a voice behind me say, "You need a dollar? Here, I'll get ya." I turned around and saw a scraggly man buying sausage and a halloween mask. He didn't look like he owned much money. I was so surprised. People aren't usually kind these days.

His kindness made my day.

So I decided to be kind and share my blackberry chocolate chip pie recipie with you :)

1 premade frozen 9in double pie crust (I like Mrs. Smith's)
3/4 cup white sugar
1/3 cup flour
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
4 cups blackberries (you can use fresh or frozen. just defrost the frozen ones if you use those)
1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 tablespoon lemon juice

Preheat oven to 435 degrees F. In a bowl, mix sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Stir in blackberries and chocolate chips, then add lemon juice. Pour mixture into one of the pie crusts. Place second pie crust on top of the first after mixture is poured in (personally, I like to roll out the top pie crust after its defrosted, then cut it and do the lattice on top). Wrap edges with aluminum foil. Bake for 30 minutes. Unwrap edges and bake for 5 minutes, or until both top and edges are golden brown.
