Thanks for stopping by my blog a while back and commenting on my medical dilemma. Seems to be all cleared up, but will find out for sure in the next few weeks. BTW, what is gretka? Or whatever it was you have listed as the first thing you ate on this entry?

sorry - I explained getchka in my first post on this topic - it is toasted buckwheat. Russians boil or steam it for a few minutes, add salt and eat. or at least, that is how my husband learned to eat it.
I think it is awful, but he likes it with some fruit. I have since discovered that buckwheat is great for dieters because it takes less to give you that "full feeling". so 1/4 cup and some fruit keeps him good until lunch.
