Vanilla-Yogurt Fruit Dip!

http://www.farmboy.ca/images/fruit.jpg

•No touching knives or the stove
•Do not touch any appliances without adult supervision.
•Always wash your hands before handling food.

You’ll be sweet on this vanilla and brown sugar-scented yogurt dip, and it’s sure to help your family get their daily servings of fresh fruit. Berries, bananas, nectarines, melon, and mixed fruit go wonderfully with this delightful dip.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (250 mL) plain yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons (30 mL) brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon (5 mL) vanilla extract
  • Fruit slices, sections, chunks or whole berries

Cooking Instructions

  1. Place a paper coffee filter in a small strainer or filter holder set over a cup or bowl. Spoon the yogurt into the filter and let drain, refrigerated, for one hour (or more). This will drain out some of the liquid for a richer and more creamy dip. The longer you drain, the thicker the yogurt becomes. (You can omit this step if you’re in a hurry — the dip won’t be quite so thick but will still taste delicious.)
  2. Dump drained yogurt into a small bowl. Add the brown sugar and vanilla, stirring until the sugar is dissolved.
  3. Serve with desired fruit.

Servings: Makes about 2 servings.

Hybrids are plants or animals that are the result of mixing two different species. These creatures are strange and rare, and are usually the result of man toying with nature.

Hybrid animals take the best traits from their mother and father, and that is why they are created to increase productivity.

Some of the weirdest hybrids out there are ones like the Liger, which is a cross between a lion and a tiger. The result is a lion with stripes. A liger is bigger than a lion because it doesn’t have the gene that limits growth. This is the biggest feline in the world! It can be up to 12 feet long!

Another strange one is the Tigon, which is a cross between a male tiger and female lion. In this case, the Tigon is small, because it haws twice as much of the gene that stops growth. These animals were raised and created in captivity and you would never see them in the wild (tigers live in Africa and Asia).

Some other cool hybrids are the Zebra-horse, the Leopion, which is a cross between a female lion and a leopard and the Bengali, which is a mix of house cat and bengali wildcat.
