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.
