Cooking with Nate Presents: Pumpkin-spiced Oatmeal

In honor of the fall season, I am going to teach how to make pumpkin-spiced oatmeal. 

 

Ingredients:

1 banana

1 cup of oats

1 cup of milk

1 teaspoon pumpkin spice

Optional:

1 tablespoon peanut butter

½ cup of blueberries/craisins or any fruit you’d like

 

Instructions:

Get out a sauce pan and put it on the stove.  Add the milk and slice the banana.  Put the heat to medium.  Wait for the milk to begin to get warm.  When it gets warm (you can see small bubbles in the milk), turn the heat to low.  Add the oats.  Stir until the bananas dissolve into the oats and oats absorb the milk.  Add the pumpkin spice.  Then, you can add peanut butter to thicken it.  If you want, add craisins and or blueberries as well.  Enjoy your pumpkin spiced oatmeal with a nice hot cup of coffee.  Delish!

 

Vocabulary:

1.      Stir: to move a spoon back and forth

 

2.      Dissolve: to disappear into something.  (i.e. if you add sugar or salt into hot water, it dissolves). 

 

3.      Absorb: for something to take in water.  (i.e. a sponge absorbs water).

 

4.      Thicken: for something to have a thicker texture.

 

5.      Delish: slang for “delicious”

Swim Meet 1, 4th Annual Orange LionHeart Classic

Image
By Nate Feldman   Today was my first official U.S. Master's Swim Meet.  Master's swim meets are for adults who want to continue competitive swimming after high school and university.   I swam in the one-mile, or 1650 yard, freestyle swim race at the 4th annual Orange LionHeart Classic at the High Plains Community Center swimming pool.  I completed the race in 34:19.  While this is not a super fast time, it is much faster than the 40 minute speed I predicted. There were many things I liked about this race.  The people both running and swimming at the event were very supportive and friendly.  I had very nice conversations with Don, Doug, and Tracy, fellow swimmers.  There were two local high school swimmers, who were timing people, who were incredibly encouraging.   All in all, it was a great experience, and I hope to swim at this event again. The pool where the race took place

Oatmeal and Waffles, Quiz

  Comparison Essay: Oatmeal and Waffles (Including: intense, establish, extended family, observe) Breakfast traditions can vary greatly depending on culture, lifestyle, and personal preference. However, when we observe morning routines across different regions, two foods—oatmeal and waffles—frequently appear on the table. Although both are familiar breakfast choices, they offer contrasting experiences in taste, nutrition, and the meanings people may establish around them. Oatmeal is made by cooking oats in water or milk until they become a warm, creamy porridge. Its flavor is mild rather than intense, but it can easily be enriched with fruit, nuts, or spices. Because oats are high in fiber and contain slow-releasing carbohydrates, oatmeal provides steady energy throughout the morning. Many people, including members of large or extended family households, rely on oatmeal because it is affordable, nutritious, and easy to prepare in bigger portions. For these reasons, oatmeal is of...
