MMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

     Title: R2-D2 Berry Parfait
Categories: Fruits, Dairy
     Yield: 1 Parfait

     1    Glass jar w/lid
     1 sm Mixing bowl
     1    Spoon
          Vanilla yoghurt
          Blueberries
          Raspberries or strawberries
          Blue, yellow, and red food
          - colouring
          Blue felt (opt)
          Pen or marker (opt)
          Scissors (opt)

 Start by putting 3-4 spoonfuls of vanilla yogurt into
 the bottom of the jar.

 Next, put a layer of blueberries. Try to keep the layer
 of blueberries even from the front to the back so your
 layers stay straight.

 Put another layer of vanilla yogurt (2-3 spoonfuls),
 then another layer of blueberries.

 You’ll need one more layer of vanilla yogurt (2-3
 spoonfuls), then 1 more layer of blueberries.

 Now, you’ll need to make the vanilla yogurt grey for the
 top (and last layer) of yogurt.

 In a small mixing bowl, scoop 2-3 spoonfuls of vanilla
 yogurt. Add 5 drops of blue food coloring, 5 drops of
 yellow food coloring, and 5 drops of red food coloring.
 Mix the yogurt and coloring together until you get a
 nice grey color.

 If the grey looks too dark, add 1 spoonful of vanilla
 yogurt at a time until you get a light grey color.

 Then, put 2-3 spoonfuls of the grey vanilla yogurt as
 the top and final layer of your parfait.

 Take a napkin, wrap it around 1 finger, and clean off a
 small space near the front of the jar.

 Place a raspberry or strawberry in the clean space you
 just made. Your R2-D2 Berry Parfait is complete!

 OPTIONAL: Place the lid on the jar. Take a piece of blue
 felt and place it on top of the lid. Trace the top of
 the lid onto the felt. Cut out the circle you just made
 on the blue felt. Take a piece of tape and tape it to
 the top of the lid.
