Chocolate Pie {Recipe from Mama}

Two years ago I stood in the grocery store line waiting to check-out.  As I loaded my holiday baking groceries out of my cart and onto the counter, I glanced down and spotted a recipe card.  It was old and worn, stained with sticky fingers symbolizing seasons of use in the kitchen.  

A hand written Chocolate Pie Recipe from Mama. 

I quickly glanced around to see who it might belong to.  I yelled, "Did anyone lose a recipe?" as I waived it in the air both inside the store and out.  No one responded, and so I tucked the 3x5 into my purse...somberly.  I wanted to return it to the owner so desperately, saddened by the fact that Mama might not be around anymore to write her recipe down again.

It has been in my recipe binder ever since.  I glance at it often...thinking that perhaps this Christmas I will bake THE chocolate pie.  But why should I keep such sweetness to myself?  This recipe holds a story, and one that I would like to continue to tell. 
Perhaps it is time to pass her recipe on. 

For some reason,
 I think Mama might fancy the idea.
