Owl Surprise

I made Italian beef stew with rosemary and olives for tea, with some new potatoes from Grandma's garden. You hated it. So I'm not sure you'll need the recipe.

Pudding was a lot more successful, but then it always is. Today's was Owl Surprise. I can't remember when (or why) the idea of there being an owl in the kitchen sorting out the puddings started, but it seems to have been going for a while now.

Anyway, for Owl Surprise (for one small toddler) you'll need:

a pretty bowl or sundae glass (usually found at the bottom of a pile in a charity shop)
fruit, chopped - today was banana and blueberries, but there's often dried apricots, dates, plums, strawberries or pear in there
a large spoonful of yoghurt (preferably Greek)
something interesting to be sprinkled on top (Smarties are a hot fave, or crushed up biscuits), or a biscuit to sit on the side (pink wafers are unaccountably popular)

Layer the fruit and yoghurt in the sundae glass. Sprinkle the exciting bits on top.
