D has been at it again! Who knew it would take merely a trip to his homeland to bring out such culinary prowess?

| This is gretchka (buckwheat, more or less), a staple throughout Ukraine and Russia. I loved to eat this stuff back in the states, but it was really expensive there. This is considered a healthy food and good to eat if you're trying to lose weight. I prefer mine with ketchup and sausage, D likes sugar (weird!) |

| And this, this one's all me! First time at making French toast since we arrived. |
Hey we eat our buckwheat thing you are describing with sugar too. I like to put nuts, surgar and nuts, like walnuts. Sometimes they give this in church at the end of the service, a piece of bread and the buckwheat/sugar/nut deal.
ReplyDeleteVesna, D was thrilled to receive your confirmation. I stand corrected then; not weird, just authentically Eastern European :)
