If you still have green food coloring left over after our last post, here is our encore: the dessert version of Lemonyoda. A punch with a pinch of color, a scoop of sweet, and just like the last recipe, a barrel-full of midi-chlorians.
Yoda
Lemonyoda #1 (Lemonade version)
This is no ordinary lemonade! This M4P exclusive recipe is chock-full of midi-chlorians! You will feel them “all fizzy” on your tongue. So if your were not born with a particularly high count, a couple of sips of this will not only quench your thirst, it will make you feel stronger, wiser, and more connected in an instant….. It will help you leap tall buildings in a single bound…no wait a minute. That’s not right. OK, at the very least it will make your taste buds smile.
Yoda’s Rootleaf Stew
Eat, eat. Hot. Good food, hm? Good, hmm? Turns out, despite all his fancy Jedi abilities, Yoda needs some lovin’ and kind words, just like the rest of us. Make the M4P version of his stew and you’ll gets lots of both!
Now, there is an officially sanctioned Star Wars version of Rootleaf Stew. Do you remember the radio dramatization of the trilogy? NPR actually hired a famous chef to create a recipe as part of the promotion for the Empire Strikes Back. We haven’t tried that recipe yet, but once we do, I will take pictures and post them.
Yoda Napkins
“Hmmm. The dark side clouds everything. Impossible to see, the future is.“ (Yoda to Palpatine in Episode II)
…well, not totally impossible. Kids are messy, and there will be spilled Bantha Milk at any good party! Having additional napkins that are more absorbent than the printed paper ones from the store (which look really fun, but aren’t very functional), are always a really good idea.
It’s All in the Ears! (DIY Yoda Hat)

My #1 modeling my Yoda Hat!
- My #1 modeling my Yoda Hat!
Yoda is just over 2 feet. I am almost 6 feet. He also has some 850+ years on me, so I don’t really look much like the Master. But just like him, I do make a mean rootleaf stew, I have rebellious Padowans that I am trying to guide into responsible Jedis, and I’d like to think that I am wise…ish. So, this Yoda hat has become my favorite. It is warm and cozy for cold Halloween nights; fun, convenient and out-of-the-way while dong M4P prep; and always an ice breaker when the kids have costumed events at school. In geeky good fun, it all is!

Dagobah Swamp Jello
Me to Hubby: Honey, can I submerge one of your X-Wings in Jello?
Here is how that question arose… We need a cool new dish this year. What have we made in the past? What do we not have? We don’t have any soups… hm, what is liquid in the movies? Lake Paonga on Naboo? Yoda’s swamp! Swamp! Green soup? X-Wing? X-Wing will melt! Cold soup…Avacado? (Google recipes….) Cucumber? Ugh! X-Wing in something green. Swampy? Slimy? JELLO!!!!
