"Hello beautiful sexy people in phone!" Ilya grins. He's leaning forward on the kitchen island, causing his entire face to fill up his phone screen.
“Thank you all for joining me today!” He says happily, eyes darting to look at the fast flowing chat. It’s hard for his brain to keep up with the speed.
“Okey,” Ilya lets out a breath, and moves his phone away from being so close to his face. He props it up against something on the island.
Ilya, now fully visible, is wearing a pink apron with little red hearts on it. Also visible now is a big glass bowl with a yellow-handled whisk sitting inside it. Strewn along the island are various ingredients.
“Am gonna be making Medovik, is Russian honey cake. I,” Ilya lets out a shuddering little breath. “I used to make it with Мама all the time.”
Ilya reaches for a saucepan as he lets out a light laugh. “Though was not very helpful. Was always sticking fingers in the frosting and darting around under her feet.”
“I have already measured out all the ingredients,” Ilya says, grabbing his phone and bringing it with him as he makes his way over to the stove, setting the saucepan on one of the burners. He turns it onto low and props his phone up against the coffee machine.
“Will start by mixing sugar, honey, and butter together till sugar is dissolved. While we do that, I will answer questions, yes?” Ilya says, looking briefly at the chat before turning to pour the sugar and honey into the saucepan along with the butter.
Ilya looks at the chat as he starts to stir everything together.
“‘Where is Shane?’,” Ilya reads out. He lets out a long-suffering sigh before answering. “Beautiful husband is stuck in brand meetings all morning. Is horrible, he left too early and I did not get to give him proper wake up,” he ends with a pout.
“‘For what brands?’ Ah, I do not remember. Was distracted by pretty freckles when he told me. Sun was hitting them just right through the curtains,” Ilya answers with a dopey smile.
“‘What do you think of the kidnapped dogs story from a few weeks ago?’ Oh! Very inspiring,” Ilya nods emphatically. “Very proud of corgi for leading them to safety. I wanted to visit them but Shane said no. Apparently did not line-up with schedule.”
Ilya looks down into the pan to check on his progress, and sees that all the sugar has dissolved. He grins and reaches to turn the burner off. He grabs his phone and shows the live audience the end result.
“Should look like this when done right,” Ilya says. He then moves back over to the island and props his phone up again. He pours the mixture into the big glass bowl that the whisk was previously sat in. “Now we mix in eggs. We go fast so they do not scramble.”
Ilya vigorously whisks together the eggs in a steady stream with the dissolved sugar-honey mixture. He zones out for a bit while doing it and starts humming under his breath.
“Okey,” Ilya breathes out, and sets the whisk down. “Now I add baking soda.” He mixes it together carefully.
“‘How’s Anya?’ Anya is great!” Ilya beams. “She just got invitation to one of her puppy friends’ birthday parties! Is in two weeks, so we have to get gift in time.”
Ilya then focuses back on all the baking in front of him. He pulls over a smaller bowl filled with flour toward him. “Now we fold in flour a little at a time.”
Ilya starts doing so, and glances back at the chat after he adds the first increment of flour. “‘Who do you think is going to win this year?’ Am biased, so we will,” he answers with a shrug and a smile. “As long as grandpa hunter does not win again, I will be happy. Actually, as long as Toronto or Montreal do not win I will be delighted!”
“‘Are you reading anything currently?’ Ah, da, yes, actually. I do not normally read, but Haasy started a team book club. Has been fun. We go for breakfast to talk about it.”
“‘Who’s in it?’ me, Haasy, Shane, Troy, Bood, Hazy, Young, Bergy, Pointy, Dystrka. My son was very persuasive in getting us all to join,” Ilya nods proudly.
“‘What are you all reading tho?’ hm, is Haasy’s book club. If he wants to tell everyone the book, I will leave it up to him,” Ilya grins slyly at the camera before focusing back on the now ready dough in the bowl.
Ilya clears his throat. “Now we will separate dough into eight pieces,” he says, and puts flour down on the counter.
“Shane would have heart attack over the mess,” Ilya laughs, looking down at the flour covered island. “I miss him.”
Ilya starts humming under his breath again as he rolls out the dough.
“I have to make them into neat nine inch circles now. After I will put two each on a piece of parchment,” Ilya informs, as he reaches for a cheesecake pan bottom and a little knife. He goes down the line he spaced out. He goes slowly, making sure not to mess anything up. Once he finishes cutting off the edges, he carefully moves two of each onto pieces of parchment paper.
“I put them in the oven now. They will only cook for five minutes max,” Ilya says, turning around and opening up the oven. He then slots in one sheet and closes it again. He turns back around and grabs something off to the side of his phone.
“We will set timer each time,” Ilya says, showcasing the little yellow ducky timer. He turns the dial to five, and places it back off to the side.
“Now we will make frosting. Is easy. All you need is whipping cream, sour cream, and powdered sugar,” Ilya says, pulling forward a red stand-mixer. He pours the heavy cream into the bowl, then starts up the machine.
After about a minute or so, Ilya turns the mixer off, and lifts the top up. He picks his phone up to showcase his work. “Stiff peaks,” He says proudly.
He puts the phone back in its place as the timer goes off. Ilya turns around and takes out one set to replace it with another. He sets the done pieces on a wire rack to cool and resets his duck timer.
“Now I mix together sour cream and sugar,” Ilya says, pouring the sour cream into a bowl and immediately following it up with the powdered sugar. He mixes it all together and sets the whisk down just as the timer goes off. Ilya repeats the steps he did previously before he finishes up the frosting by folding in the whipped cream. He then puts the finished frosting in the fridge after showing it off.
Ilya finishes cooking off the circles and then the cut-off scraps. He then grabs a big ziplock bag and puts the scraps inside it.
“I remember this being Мамин favorite part,” Ilya says, grabbing the rolling pin. “I think it was, hm what is word? Cathartic! It was cathartic for her.” He then starts slamming the rolling pin onto the sealed bag, effectively crushing it all up into little pieces.
Ilya then places the bag off to the side and makes sure all the dirty dishes are in the sink. He does a small clean-up, and then takes off his apron before making his way over to the couch.
“I wait now for everything to cool, then I frost and coat it with crumbs, then let it sit overnight before you can eat,” Ilya sighs. “And I will make sure kitchen is spotless before Моё солнышко comes home.”
Anya jumps up onto the couch and immediately makes herself comfortable at Ilya’s side. He pans the camera to show her face. “Say hello, Милая девочка.” Anya lifts her head at the sound of his voice then looks at the camera before laying her head down on Ilya’s stomach. Ilya immediately starts petting her.
“I will answer few more questions before I go to clean-up, da, yes? Okey, make them good,” Ilya says, squinting slightly at the screen.
“‘Do you have sponsorships coming up?’ Ah, cannot say. Yuna would kill me in sleep,” Ilya grins, showing it’s an obvious joke.
“‘Do you and Shane want kids?’ Mm, yes,” Ilya nods, a soft smile forming on his face. “But we will be waiting a bit. Until at least one of us is retired, we decided.”
“‘Have we finally earned the right to know your fav Taylor song??’ Ah, okey, I guess so. I will give you top five, da? Okey. They are in no order,” Ilya holds up his finger to tick them off. “Lover, marjorie, The Lucky One, Nothing New, and Long Live. Hm, I will also tell you Shane’s, it is The Lucky One and the lakes.”
“Okey I go clean now before Мой прекрасный Шейн comes home. Bye-bye,” Ilya ends with a kiss at the camera.

@reddieslawyer
see it’s the way that if you actually cared about shane, and even hayden for that matter, you would listen when they say that they don’t appreciate the way you speak about their spouses and would actually stop when they asked you to
