Re: buckwheat (zaibatsu.circumlunar.space), 03/23/2020

Boris recently wrote about Russians buying up buckwheat[1]. We're all
different, yet we're all the same... different grains, same feelings
or fears under it all.
About a week ago I was at the store buying grains for my daughter's
birds. I saw the buckwheat in bulk, and even called her about it. She
erroneously stated that her birds couldn't have it (she found later
that they could). In the moment, I was only thinking of the birds,
but in point of fact, I grew up eating buckwheat. My "mormor"
(grandmother) is Swedish, and she used to cook kasha for us all the
time. I love the smell and taste of steaming kasha. If I was thinking,
I would have gotten some buckwheat for myself while I was there.
