How did I get this recipe?

I remember the sense of anticipation I felt when I first saw this recipe for Mango Cobbler. It was a warm summer day, and I had just come back from a visit to the local farmer's market where I had picked up some fresh, ripe mangoes. As I unpacked my bag and started to sort through my bounty, I came across a worn piece of paper tucked away in the bottom of the bag. It was a handwritten recipe for Mango Cobbler, written in faded ink and smudged in places.

I couldn't remember where I had gotten the recipe from, but something about it caught my eye. I had never made a mango cobbler before, and the idea of combining the sweet, juicy mangoes with a buttery, crumbly topping sounded absolutely delicious. I decided then and there that I had to give it a try.

I gathered all the ingredients listed on the recipe - flour, sugar, butter, cinnamon, and of course, the star of the show: ripe mangoes. As I started to peel and slice the mangoes, the sweet, tropical scent filled the air and I couldn't help but smile. There was something so satisfying about working with fresh, seasonal ingredients.

I followed the instructions on the recipe carefully, mixing the flour, sugar, and cinnamon together to make the crumbly topping. As I worked, memories of my childhood flooded back to me. I remembered watching my own grandmother in the kitchen, her hands deftly moving as she prepared all sorts of delicious dishes. She was the one who had first sparked my love of cooking, and I was grateful for all the lessons she had taught me over the years.

Once the topping was ready, I arranged the sliced mangoes in a baking dish and sprinkled the crumbly mixture on top. The cobbler went into the oven and as it baked, the sweet, fruity aroma filled the kitchen. I couldn't wait to try it.

When the timer finally went off, I pulled the cobbler out of the oven and let it cool slightly before serving myself a generous portion. The first bite was pure bliss. The mangoes were tender and juicy, the topping was perfectly crispy and buttery, and the hint of cinnamon added just the right amount of warmth. It was like summer in a dish.

I made the Mango Cobbler many times after that, each time tweaking the recipe slightly to suit my tastes. Sometimes I added a splash of vanilla extract to the topping, other times I sprinkled some toasted coconut on top for a bit of crunch. Each variation was delicious in its own way, but the original recipe always held a special place in my heart.

As I grew older, I started to share the recipe with friends and family, passing on the tradition of making Mango Cobbler to the next generation. It became a staple at family gatherings and potlucks, always met with rave reviews. I loved seeing the smiles on people's faces as they took their first bite, just as I had all those years ago.

Now, as I look back on that fateful day at the farmer's market, I can't help but feel grateful for stumbling upon that old, worn recipe. It may have been a simple piece of paper, but it had brought me so much joy and deliciousness over the years. And who knows, maybe one day my own grandchildren will find that recipe tucked away in the bottom of a bag and feel the same sense of anticipation that I did all those years ago. The circle of cooking and sharing recipes continues, and I couldn't be happier.
