Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal

Clockwise from top-right: Cinnamon, oatmeal, ginger root, pumpkin, nutmeg, and a white sugar.

Note to future self: brown sugar would have been better.

Sugar and spice is all added to taste, so I couldn't be bothered to write up the measurements.

Basically, I chopped the pumpkin in half and left both halves in the rice cooker (skin sides, or rounded sides, up) until the whole vegetable was soft enough to use a spoon and scoop the vegetable from the skin.

Added to a bowl of cooked oatmeal, raw ginger then grated over it, dusted with cinnmon and nutmeg, and sugar added. Then, mashed the whole thing together.

In the future, I think that I would cut the pumpkin sideways so that it would become more like a bowl, and maybe serve the sugar-and-spice oatmeal in the pumpkin. However, these small pumpkins are mostly air and seeds inside, and since I don't know how to roast pumpkin seeds into nuts... I think I'll stick with the big wedges of kalabasa from now on.
