The kimwa was okay, but I dont really like kimwa. The rice balls were fine, but a little bland.

Grains day 3

The one with the olives and rice-ish thing was a little discordant, but altogether average.  The one with the bacon was irresistibly awesome!!! The pad Thai-ish one was also very good and it was just the right mix of spicy and fresh. The yellowy Indian one was pretty good, though it could have used some other things to make it better.

Yakisoba was very complete and sticky and delicious. The bulgar had a unique, but heated taste, one I rather liked.

Grains 1

The muffins were very tasty. I could really taste the nutmeg. The bread was just the right mix of everything. The cheddar went averagely with the bread, but the other one complimented the bread a fair bit better.
