There are three possible parts to a date, of which at least two must be offered: entertainment, food, and affection. It is customary to begin a series of dates with a great deal of entertainment, a moderate amount of food, and the merest suggestion of affection. As the amount of affection increases, the entertainment can be reduced proportionately. When the affection IS the entertainment, we no longer call it dating. Under no circumstances can the food be omitted. |

RINSE THE BARLEY and put it in a pot with the water and salt to taste.
Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer until the barley is
tender, about 45 minutes. Drain the barley. (The liquid can be
reserved to use in another soup.) Toss the onions into the warm
barley to wilt them slightly; then put the mixture in a soup bowl
with the buttermilk. Stir in the turmeric and herbs and season to
taste with additional salt. Cover and refrigerate until chilled.
Serve with freshly ground pepper and paprika or with a garnish of
blossoms, such as chive blossoms, cilantro flowers or mustard petals.
