I'm trying to follow HG Cariadoc's redaction of the Domostroi recipe for
cabbage and greens on page 9 of the Miscellany.  Not being familiar with
buckwheat groats or kasha, I tried wheat bran.  The recipe says to add the
grain and then cook until the liquid is almost gone.  The liquid didn't go
anywhere.  It wasn't absorbed.  I don't see how whole grain will absorb it
better than the bran, but I want to try it.
