Adding it's best to prepare her window open to the rain, that buckwheat has his own smell. This is a short recipe that Billy's mother explains how to add a tablespoon of goose fat into only just cooked buckwheat, spice up a generous amount of black pepper and a handful of fried onions.
Y. Billy remembers, or at least thinks she knows who it was. Buckwheat flavor of the mother she can not remember at all.

It reminds me of the smell of wet dog fur and occupation buckwheat it like a man get up one morning and begin to raise thoughts about the Holocaust. Just like that. Shows a deep need to dig up the past painful".
I actually like buckwheat. I liked this even in the murky childhood, nothing cooked diet as part of the kibbutz. I find its smell soil, wet twigs and maybe even a little juniper. It must be our desert nose that can distinguish smells of the rain forest.
In honor of buckwheat, "Kasha", upright plant with heart-shaped leaves born in East Asia and is rich in iron, zinc and selenium, dignity and honor of the woman's prayer days of rain I bring you some recipes that come to it a little differently.
