-
-I'm home!
-Welcome back!
-
-This room is so bright!
-Eh?
-
-So bright.
-Yeah. Right?
-
Unusual right?
-
What were you doing?
-
I was making dinner.
-
You were making dinner?
-
For yourself?
-
Nope.
-
For Kai.
-
What? For me?
-
Nah: just joking.
-
-You're just joking?
-Of course I'm joking!
-
It was a joke?
-
I would never make something JUST for you.
-
-Yeah, I made it for everyone.
-Ah, I see. What did you make?
-
Borscht. Russian food.
-
Is there anything I can help with?
-
Nope. Can you just be here with me?
It's lonely.
-
-You were lonely?
-Yeah.
-
Is this breakfast food? Dinner?
-
Lunch.
-
Lunch?
-
It was lunch...
-
That's crazy, there's such a thing
as lunch-only food?
-
Yeah.
-
Yeah, breakfast is also
super important, but like...
-
-What do you eat for breakfast?
-Oatmeal.
-
Ah I see.
-
Yeah.
-
When I was a kid I always ate oatmeal.
-
What's your favorite meal
that your mom makes for you?
-
I lived with my grandma until 7.
-
Just the two of you?
-
Three. Grandma and uncle.
-
Since my mom had me when she was 17...
-
Oh is that so? That's so young.
-
Yeah, so...
-
I only see her like once a year.
-
-Like the beginning of the year.
-Oh is that so?
-
I always grew up thinking
I don't have a mom.
-
Oh yeah?
-
Yeah, so... if you ask me
about my mom's cooking...
-
I don't...
-
Really know.
-
Since my grandma usually cooked for me.
-
If it's my grandma, then she made
me many things and taught me how to cook.
-
-Oh so...
-She used to make me crepes.
-
Let's make crepes!
-
Crepe. Yeah that sounds good.
-
-Crepes. That's nice.
-Yeah.
-
Next time!
-
Three o' clock tea.
-
Three o' clock?
-
Like in the afternoon?
-
Yeah, three o' clock tea.
-
Ah, no. Isn't it four?
-
-It's four?
-Yeah, you know?
-
-In Russia, it's four?
-Yeah.
-
-In Japan, it's "three o' clock tea"
-Oh really?
-
-Four o' clock...
-Four o' clock! I wonder why it's off by one hour...
-
-I don't know... For us it's four.
-Maybe Russians are more relaxed.
-
-No, it's probably because we're asleep until four.
-Sleeping!? Sleeping!?
-
So you wake up and eat right away.
-
-Yeah, eat lunch.
-Yeah, eat borscht.
-
Yeah, then sleep for two hours
from two to four.
-
Wake up. Then eat again.
-
[Add thinly sliced garlic and parsley
to the boiling soup and it's done!]
-
It's so red! Yay!
-
Did you know? There are some
Russians who can't make it look so red.
-
Oh really?
-
Yeah, so once it's red,
then you know you succeeded.
-
What makes it red?
-
Love.
-
That's very important.
-
Yup. Very.
-
Thanks for the food.
-
Thanks for the food.
-
-Let's start with the soup.
-So nostalgic.
-
It's my first time eating this.
-
-You never had it before?
-Nope.
-
I'm so scared.
-
No, no, no...
-
It's okay?
-
It's good! It's good. It's good.
-
Look at my eyes.
-
Really! Really. Really.
-
Are you for sure?
-
Yes! I really am!
-
Okay. Got it.
-
Hmm... What does this remind me of?
-
Like, in a sense, it's kind of close
to Japanese Meat And Potato Stew.
-
-Oh really?
-Yeah.
-
I guess so, because
there is quite a bit of meat.
-
So nostalgic.
-
Reminds me of home.
-
You can put in some
sour cream if you like it.
-
Yeah, use the other spoon to...
-
Ah it got red.
-
You can just leave it here.
-
How is it?
-
The sour cream is nice.
-
-The taste is completely different.
-Right?
-
That's good to hear.
-
-It's good.
-Thank you.
-
-Thank you.
-Thank you very much.
-
The meat is good too.
-
What kind of meat is this?
-
Beef or pork.
-
What about this green thing?
-
Italian parsley.
-
The potato is also good.
-
Thank you. For being so specific.
-
I'm so happy.
-
Like it makes me happy to hear that
my own country's food is delicious.
-
It was fun.
-
Like, I can't get enough.
-
Really?
-
Thank you.
-
Thank you for the food.
-
It was delicious.
-
-Really?
-Yeah.
-
Even if I make food,
-
if there isn't someone to eat it,
then I won't feel like making anything.
-
So like you'd make it
with a new boyfriend?
-
Me?
-
Of course!
-
Oh really.
