[ The kitchen is ... an absolute mess really, but at least it's in one piece. A couple pots are on the stove bubbling and steaming away, the counters covered in the leavings of the food prep, and bits of the salad he made are still in the sink. Said salad is already on the table along with the stacked plates, bowls, and utensils.
Viktor himself is looking better, though his pallor still hints at a bad headache. He smiles when Yuuri enters the kitchen. ]
It's almost done so we'll see in a few minutes. How did practice go?
[ It's a spinach and kale salad with tomato and carrot slices for color and some green onions. Nothing fancy (some of those slices are more like chunks ...), but at least it's healthy. Viktor set out some kind of red/purple vinaigrette to go with it. Viktor turns back to the bubbling pot, stirring the contents for a moment. It smells like something with beef?? ]
Ah, it's just as well that I didn't go though, my headache still hasn't cleared up. I would have been useless for practice. I got some choreograph work done while I was waiting for this to cook though. Did the nullifiers work alright today?
[ Surely not. Viktor tsks at Yuuri, but nods at the state of the rice. He puts the rice lid back on before he dumps ... something white and goopey into the beef dish?? He turns the burner off while he stirs it in, turning whatever's inside into a light-ish brown, the pieces of beef and onion(??) becoming more visible as he does. ]
Ah, put rice in the bottom first! That way the sauce can soak in.
[ Viktor gets a bowl himself and spoons out a fairly generous portion of rice for himself and Yuuri. When he pours the stroganoff on top, the beef, onions, and mushrooms become more obvious as the sauce soaks into the rice.
The rice is a bit crunchy still around the edges of the steamer (hasn't Viktor ever used a rice cooker before??) and some of the onions are chopped too big, but the flavor of the beef and sour cream is pretty damn good. ]
[ Crunchy rice. Jeez. But otherwise it's not too bad? Actually good, in fact. He takes the first spoonful tentatively ... and then gladly starts chowing down on the rest. ]

Pretty well. Would have been better with you there, but ...

No problem. Think we got the bugs worked out.

[ He peeks into the other pot then—it looks like he's got rice steaming under there. He takes a small forkful to test if it's done yet. ]
no subject
[ Surely he can't mess up rice either. ]

Ah, it's done! Come serve up~

This is amazing, Viktor.

Oh good! I haven't made this in years so I was a bit worried.

[ Viktor also serves them both a plate of salad as well, scooting the plate over to Yuuri. ]

[ He tucks into that as well. ]

Oh, there's much more complicated recipes out there. This is just incredibly simplified.
no subject
It still tastes good.
