Last month at work at the one (Thai) restaurant where I work now, I asked the (wife) owner with the tired face if I could buy like 6-8 small mushrooms off them for a one-time recipe that I was making -- I just don't cook with mushrooms, I said, and she said yes, I could buy them for two dollars, as she also said that if I ever bought a lot at the supermarket I could use the leftovers to make an omelette, at which I made a face, since that recipe is just unappealing to me, though I do eat mushrooms in things like pizzas that I don't cook at home -- and, anyways, she asked me what the recipe was for, and I said buckwheat, and she didn't know what that was, so I showed her a picture on my phone and she said that it looked like "comfort food" and that buckwheat looks like a grain, and I explained that it's actually a pseudo-grain like quinoa and it only looks like a grain, but it's actually more of a seed, and then she asked me where you get it, and I said that I got mine at the local co-op grocery store.
And, at that, she paused.
Then, "Sounds healthy," she was like. "We just eat rice."
