Sprinkled Oatmeal

   When I was a kid the only way Mom could get us to eat oatmeal was if she got this dinosaur kind.  It had little dinosaur eggs in it.  When you cook the oatmeal and then stir it, the dino eggs would turn into little dinosaurs.  It made eating oatmeal fun.  We wouldn't get it that often.  So whenever we did get it, it was a special treat.
   Well, we were out of cereal one day, so I figured I'd have oatmeal.  Then I thought about the dinosaur oatmeal.  I mean the dinos were basically sprinkles.  Sugary taste and crunchy.
I tried the sequin sprinkles but they weren't right.


   So, I put in some leftover bunny sprinkles from a few Easters ago.  (Note to self: Don't get Easter sprinkles.  They don't get used.)
   They were almost like the dinosaurs.  If they were a little bigger and crunchier they would have been perfect.  I'm totally adding sprinkles again next time.
