Oh beautiful...

A month or two ago dunkelpig was shopping at Panera and saw an item on their menu: a parfait made with yogurt, berries, and granola. "Sounds delicious!" she thought. "... And instead of paying $4 here I can make the same thing from we already have as soon as I get home!" It's been a frequent snack or light meal for us ever since.

Yesterday our synagogue's 50+ group had a brunch, and we brought* a hot cheesy zucchini dish and a big bowl of this parfait -- or rather, two quarts of yogurt, the other ingredients, a big bowl, and a serving spoon. She layered it in: yogurt alternating with berries, and granola on top. "Dig down and get whatever you want!"
  • Red: strawberries
  • White: yogurt
  • Blue: blueberries
"But," she said, "I don't know how the granola fits into the theme."

I said, "Amber waves of grain ... above the fruited plain." **

* She brought. I brought her. It works out. :-)
** Except it was vanilla yogurt, not plain. But close enough.

food, holidays
