I'd eat that .... ala mode. If someone else baked it for me.  Bv)=

The bulk posts will be along later. The board they're destined for is 
incommunicado at the moment.

      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.
