Okay so Blackberry phones are pretty awesome, but blackberries the fruit is even better.  Sweet, juicy, and boundless uses for this bramble plant.  However, the large seeds can be a turn-off for many people.  If you can overcome the big crunches from the seeds, though, there is magic in a blackberry cobbler.

Rachel recently celebrated her wedding anniversary with a blackberry cobbler… cooked with lots of butter and deliciousness!

As a token of my love, I cooked. Baked rather. A blackberry cobbler. Wanna see? Here’s some progression pictures. Because when I cook, I wanna prove it actually happened.  The verdict? The Accountant says it tastes good. However, it is quite runny. Water comes to mind. Flour next time. Really. Oh, I didn’t taste it. What? Is that weird? I don’t even LIKE blackberry cobbler! This was a labor of true LUUUUUURVE people!!!

That’s true love, my friends.  Cooking something for your true love that you don’t even like. It’s why on my husband’s birthday and Father’s Day I grilled out… not that I didn’t like the steaks, but I hated standing in the heat… because that’s love.

You don’t have to spend a lot of money to show someone how much you love them.  When you make something by hand – even when you don’t like doing it – it shows them.

Photo – even though it focused on the mulch instead of the blackberries – was taken by my iphone at my friend Michelle’s house.
