The first meal we could not finish.

I think we must have cooked the kasha wrong. We must have made some dumb mistake. It was so inedible that it ended up in our garbage disposal.

Buckwheat grains heating in a pot.

I was pretty optimistic - I'd never eaten buckwheat or beef liver in my life. I imagined something along the lines of a delicious, meaty stew or porridge. Man, was I wrong!

Clockwise: buckwheat, eggs, and beef liver.

I did manage to take four bites, and then I opted out and went for a regular old bowl of Captain Crunch cereal.

Our "meal"

Either way, we have left over buckwheat and we are determined to cook some kasha that we actually like. Tomorrow, round two commences.
