I’m a Polka. Immigrated to USA as a child. I always wished to go back and to live there and experience my motherland.
I am 79 and Polish American, born in Buffalo, N.Y. in an area that was known as Polonia. My wife and I visited Poland for the first time in 2019 in May,it was cold, we now live in Florida. I never enjoyed anyplace as much as I did on that tour. My Polish came back to me and I spoke the language I thought I forgot, it was like I was a child again talking to my Babcia. We traveled to many cities, enjoyed Zakopane and Gdansk with it's Cuisine, I ate smolec on bread like I did as a child. Thank you so much for this video explaining why you live there, pros and cons. I will continue to follow, this was very nice to view. I should add that every Easter I make placek, well that's what my mother called it anyway, and every Christmas my wife and daughter make many pierogi, yummm!
I worked as an engineer training Poles in a new factory in Poland back in the 70s. After spending a lot of time with my interpreter we ending up getting married. A lot of parallels in the story you have. As for the language, I am fine with numbers and telling time (being an engineer) and my daughter only spoke Polish when she started school here in the states because of the caregivers we had. When my daughter was about 7 yrs old my wife asked me to stop speaking Polish for a while because I spoke like a 2 yr old and I was corrupting my daughters Polish. Once you understand the consonant combinations and get the rhythm of the language I can follow it somewhat. My wife's parents stayed with us while my wife was going to school (one of the set of caregivers) and she would come home and ask what we talked about and then start laughing heartily sometimes (followed by rapid Polish I had no clue with and more laughter). What I said the conversation was about and what her parents said it was about would were entirely different!
The bureaucracy may be bad now, but we got married when the country was still under Russian influence and that was interesting. The funny part was my wife would get upset when we went to a Polish office for documents, etc and I would calm her down. I would get upset when we went to the US embassy in Warsaw and we had to deal with the bureaucracy there and she would calm me down.
Thanks for your videos, they bring back a lot of memories and I hope to return once travel is available again.
Kapusta is the queen mother of all Polish vegetables. Hello from USA. American of Polish decent. My ancestors were from Radom and Poznań.
And thank you for your service to our country Mark! 🇺🇸
My husband is Polish American, we trying to get Polish citizenship through a Polish descent.
Wish as luck. Love to live in Europe.
All of my great grandparents immigrated from Northern Poland. Three of four never learned English. Polish was spoken in the home. Both Grandma's first language was Polish. I too, believe I could request Polish citizenship through descent. I understand forms must be in Polish. I cannot read or write. My dad can, but may not be easy. A neighbor is from Poland. She would be my best advocate. Maternal grandparents visited Poland years ago. Natives said accent sounds like from Northern Poland. "No, we are from the US". Of course, we all enjoyed home cooked favorite Polish foods.
Me too
@@jerryoshesky5222 We don't have accents. There is no way of telling what part of the country you come from unless you speak Silesian or Goral dialect.
I have the chance to do it via Irish descent or through my Polish Mom....tryign to decide which.
@@AOWGroundBeef Go for both, but not at the same time.
My husband is Irish/Polish. ATM he has an Irish passport.
My husband and I were just recently stationed in Bydgoszcz. Best 3 years we have had in the military. We tried so hard to get extended there.. but alas we ended up in S.Korea. I love, love, love watching your vlogs because it brings back a lot of memories about our village and the food our neighbors made for us. I'll never forget that, once you find an in with Polish folks, they will love on you and take care of you as if you were their family. My husband deployed to Afghanistan last year and our landlord and his gf would bring food over to me, they'd take me out to dinners, find ways to force feed me homemade Nalewka (lol) and would not leave me alone. It was such a great gesture. Polish hospitality is real. I agree with all points of living in Poland.. the language was hard, the bureaucracy was rediculous (even as service members we had to deal with it) and the cost of living was amazing! I'd give anything to go back! We thought about retiring there but like previously stated..the bureaucracy is crazy hard to deal with..still thinking about it though..;)
Hope you visit sometime 😊
I'm Polish and live in Buffalo NY i love how clean the streets are in Poland
and no homeless, it is not allowed to sleep on the street
What a lovely couple.
Love your site and the food has brought me so many happy memories of my Grandfather Rachoza and parents, John and Mary Rachoza-Hutchison.❤
I was born in a Polish community in Kansas City, Kansas called "Strawberry Hill" then moved to Kansas City, Missouri as a child until I got married and had my son, Jason and daughter, Kimberly. After they finished college we all moved to Colorado Springs, Colorado.
I miss the Polish Community and food.
No such community here in Colorado Springs.
Jan Kasprowicz polish writer .
Sure not like that in Buffalo NY. My friends/family like in Cheektowaga. Ppl in USA don't take Pride in keeping there Country clean unlike us in Canada and other countries..
@@agnieszkashefford6510 that is amazing. We don't have that here in parts of Ontario Canada either they have to go to Homeless Shelters..
I can see how much you love each other my mom and dad met in Chicago he was. Stationed at navy pier her mom was polish father ChekSlovakian spoke polish but I never learned it wish I had I do love polish food
What a cute couple. All four of my grandparents came from Poland and it is so awesome to me to see videos of actual life in Poland. Poland looks so beautiful and it would be nice to see videos of the country sides, villages, towns and cities of Poland.
💕❤💕❤💕❤
My father came from Poland
You two are so adorable! Thank you for sharing your story and showing us a little more of Poland! 🖤
Awesome Thsank you for your service I’m from Oklahoma..
"- It's called Park Kasprowicza..... why is it called that?
- It's named after Kasprowicz
- Who was that?
- he's the guy they named this park after....
- aaaaa.... " 🤣🤣🤣
Best answer! 🤣
Loved it!
Also, Mark, I absolutely loved your succinct and spot on summary of the reason for the oxymoron in our Polish culture - very warm and welcoming into our home yet protective and defensive of our own stuff that was brought on by the history of being beaten up by the outside influences. I couldn't have said it better myself! Thank you!
Anna, I just stumbled on your channel and I'm hooked!
Greetings from a Polish-Canadian from Calgary :)
Welcome to the channel Kasia! Thank you for the kind words, and thanks for watching!
@@PolishYourKitchen You're very welcome :)
Thank you for the recipes that you have shown on UA-cam I'm polish too but I don't know all of it and some that you had looks very very good thank you so much
This is my favorite episode! Thanks for sharing your story. Always good to see Mark. I get such a kick out of you two. Anna snuggles close, Mark smiles lovingly, Anna shoots him down with, "I'm cold." I feel your pain, brother. It's so interesting to drive through your town and see the sights. Love the green of the town hall. I enjoy the food preparation during the rest of the week, but I think Fridays out and about is a novel and enjoyable addition to your channel.
Jan Kasprowicz was a famous Polish poet and writer who lived at the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth century. His name is familiar to every Pole.
Lovely couple and such beautiful country
My Grandmother was Polish, she passed away in 1968, man do I miss her cooking.
I think you two are adorable.
One of the better vlogs on Poland/cooking/eating. Enjoyed very much.
I really enjoy your cooking channel but having you and Mark tell us your story and showing us marvelous Poland is such fun. It's beautiful and I love the well-kept structures and cleanliness of everything. Made me redefine my future vacation destination. Thanks for the channel and please keep them coming.
Thank you! 😃
Just found you last night!!!’ You two are great. My father’s people came from Poland but I know so little about it. Please show us more. Tell more of what you do and don’t like. About customs, about anything snd everything. Family, stateside snd in Poland. Weather, travel, speaking English, just life.
Blessings.
We sure will continue to tell you guys all about Poland, daily life, and most of all food! As long as people want to see it, we will be glad to share our lives. Thanks for watching!
Love how clean Poland is. I live in Philadelphia, Pa. with large Polish population.....but people don't seem to care about all the trash. It's sad.
You guys are so inspiring.... and so much in love it's so cute....
Thanks for sharing
My wife and her family is from Szczecin. Living in Canada now. And yes Polish is probably the hardest language in the world to learn. We love your videos it brings everyone home.
You guys are very down to earth and have a lovely story. I haven't been to Poland since 2005. I live in Sydney, Australia. You bring back good memories, and hopefully I'll be able to go there soon. Pozdrawiam serdecznie.
❤❤❤,trust me I hardly watch full video on you tube.i am watching your video first time.loved it .....you both amazing....wish you lots of love & happiness
Oh my God! You went to the same school as me! I graduated in 93. I'm from Poland originally also! Small world!
My husband and I both have mothers born in Poland and still a whole side of family there. I studied in Krakow in college got a few months and I totally understand what Mark is saying about strangers being a little rude. However once you know people you are like family and miss the hospitality soooo much. I’m planning to take our family soon to visit so my children and see our cousins. Mark thank you for your service . Anna thank you for sharing your recipies! My children will be so happy to have Babcia’s soup by mom :) God bless you both!
Thank you so much for that kind words, from both Mark and I. Thanks for watching!
Mark and Anna…wonderful videos. Thank you Mark for your service and to Anna for providing the support and love that all Soldiers need when they’re deployed downrange. From a fellow war veteran.🙏🏻
I loved this video! Thanks for sharing with us.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm planning on moving to Poland in a few years. And when it's safe to travel again, I'm going to go to Poland to visit all of my aunts, uncles, and cousins there (they only speak Polish so I'm learning the language to communicate with them).
Love your “ Kitchen Closed Fridays “ as you show us around the beautiful Polish country.
Hello guys, welcome to Szczecin, it shouldn't surprise both of you polish people like to eat veges so that's why you can see a lot of cabbage on your plates.
I've just discovered your channel and I just love it. Mark and Anna, you are a beautiful, authentic couple. Hope to see many more videos in the future. Warm greetings from British Columbia, Canada.
Thank you so much!
@@PolishYourKitchen ate to guys still living in Poland or did you move to the USA
This is such a romantic story! I'm a 1st generation polish Canadian. I love your channel.
I loved hearing about you two and the whole episode was so great. I love seeing Poland through your eyes. I have not been back since 96, but would like to go back at some point. Mark - your Polish is great! I'm so glad I found you guys so I can experience Poland through you - love your recipes also!
Hello Adrianna
I just found you two. I love your channel. Your story was so beautiful. I am 52 and my 65 year old husband had a stroke, so I understand that part, whatever he wants to do,it is his turn. But I found it is our time. He loves when I cook. I am Polish, love seeing the landscape where my Ancestors reign
I'm sorry to hear about your husband. I hope that you guys get everything out of life every day. Thank you for your kind words, and thanks for watching!
Loved this video!! My grandparents were from Poland and I have always wanted to travel there and see it for myself. Thank you for sharing your city with me!
Thank you, I hope to visit Poland one day. You might be the luckiest man alive.
I'm polish and live in little Poland in new britain Connecticut. And love to see the motherland.
Just found you two. I love the easy, laid back way that you present Poland and foody stuff for all to enjoy. It is a real dream of mine to, someday, visit Poland.
Welcome aboard!
Thank you so much Anna and Mark!! This was a delightful video! I so enjoyed getting to hear about your journey! I started watching your videos to learn how to make paczki and then listened to the one about angel wings cru......(can say it but not spell it! :0) I am 100% American Polish by heritage so I was raised with Polish cooking. Since I really didn't continue that into my family I have recently been motivated to look into some of the things my mother made and share with friends, relatives and neighbors. I also have always wanted to travel to Poland. I have not been out of North America. So I very much appreciated the "travel log"
Miraim, thank you for watching, and for bringing Polish food into your home. Life is short, so once the world goes back to normal plan a trip to Poland. Come see the old country!
Hello Mariam
I love your site and your Dobra cooking!!
Thanks so much
Thank you for this. I have family that are military and have lived all over the place as your family has. My husband's family are Polish, in the USA for a long time now, but our children love Polish food and culture and we are trying to provide examples of that for them and your channel does a lot to help with that. Thank you.
New sub in California, USA. Not Polish, sadly. My BF is so Polish, I want to learn more ! Thank you for your lovely channel !
Pozdrawiam z Kanady.Szczecin to moje rodzinne miasto.No i moje urocze Pogodno.
This was my favorite video. My Nana (great grandmother) was born in Poland. She came to the US when she was 3. Thank you for showing me my heritage. It is beautiful where you live.
You two are so lovely together. Thanks so much for sharing yourselves.
Thank you James!
Thank you both so much, blessings and you brought me to tears in a good way. Beautiful story. Cheers to you both
Thank you Nroma. We appreciate kind words.
Hearing bits from Mark while he handled the camera in the kitchen was fun, but now he’s a real personality in front of the camera. 😘
Really enjoying seeing Poland while you are driving. Please keep up the Kitchen’s Closed videos.
Hello from Wisconsin! We stumbled upon your channel by chance and now we can't get enough. My husband is of Polish ancestry and we have been dabbling in some Polish cooking. You guys are so fun to watch and your food looks delicious! ❤
Welcome!! we love to see fellow Wisconsinites on the channel! Thanks for watching!
Hubby must be smart. He married a smart Polish girl!! Very good taste!!!!!!!!!
Anna and Mark, thank you for sharing your kismet story...and here I was thinking that Mark must have Polish parents or grandparents because of his wonderful Polish pronunciation every time he says something in Polish!! Love all the cooking and will definitely give the cheese cake a go. That was a great clip. Have some more "Guests"... and more trips ...as there is no OS travel anytime soon from my neck of the woods.
This is great! I live in Eau Claire WI, so that was fun to hear and your story was very sweet. We visited Poland last year to see where my grandparents were born and I fell in love with the country. I hope to go back some day.
I have loved watching these videos and learning more about you two and your experiences in Poland. Love the videos!
Glad you like them!
Hello from Ann Arbor Michigan. Subscribed awhile back but watching several episodes today. You two are sweet. Love the polish kitchen. Thanks.
Oh this made me realise how much I miss Poland. I have never been to Szczecin (we have distant relatives there though) but it reminds me of Toruń and Poznań and, well, Poland in general. Thank you for this and your story.
You guys are seriously the cutest! Loved this.
This made me very happy to watch. My family is Polish so I am interested in other Polish recipes. I also liked the trip around your town. It would be nice to see more of your trips. Nothing special, just normal life. Happy Holidays!
You're VERY cute together! Nice.
Awe love this video and you are so amazing as a couple. Thank you. My sister in law's brother lived in Poland for 13 yrs. He teaches. He lives here now and I think he still teaches online.
Beautiful story of a life journey of an awesome couple. Very enjoyable videos, this one and others. Honest and straight to the point answers. Love to see as well the streets of Szczecin, my hometown. I am living for many decades in Australia. Australia is the best country in the world in my humble opinion but visiting Szczecin always brings me a lot of joy as well. Wspaniale tez Pani gotuje! ( the cooking awesome as well).
Watching this makes me miss Poland even more! I was just there last summer for 3 weeks. Love spending time there with all of my family that still lives there.
Amazing!! I live in Chicago LOL. Came from Poland in 2000.
You guys are so cute together. True Love!!!
My family says that Anna is just like us. Cheerful and we love to share. It was awesome to tour the town. (The absence of pick-up trucks is noticeable, Mark.) Your personal and sweet chat in the park showed us 'what you are made of'. Wishing you all the best in your travels and endeavours. Thank you for taking us along for the ride.
I miss my truck very....very....much lol!
I love and miss Kebab’s. Had them for the first time in London in 1990. Can’t get them where I am in the U. S. Enjoyed the video
I think you are both wonderful retired military lived all over the world and loved loved you sharing how you met and your story
I loved the video. Realism. My parents came to the states in the 50's. My grand parents had a farm in Stevens Point. We just sold the farm in 2018. Live in Chicago. Some family still in Poland. Thank you for your trip down memory lane. You are both lucky to have each other.
Just found your video,it was amazing. My great grandma (busha) was from Poland, and she settled in Chicago. I live an hour north of Stevens Point Wi. I grew up on pieogries, cabbage rolls. Glad I found your channel..
So sweet! Thank you for sharing your story! For those of us stuck across the Atlantic, it is so nice to see how others live and experience a different country! To also learn more about Polish cuisine! Blessings....
Hello from Chicago. Thanks for sharing your story. I’ve been watching you for about a week now and I’m enjoying seeing and learning your recipes.
I was curious to hear your story because at times you referenced that you were in Poland but you speak English so well that I wondered if you ever lived here in the States.
Best to you both and your families.
Thanks for watching!
Real nice to travel with you. Was last in Poland in the 70’s as a small child. Mom talks about Poland but it’s her memories prior to 1960. As we watch I think looks just like Canada where you are sitting.
Enjoyed the episode and your story!
I love to hear your stories and bringing us along for the beautiful visits. Thank you for sharing!
The two of you are one beautiful couple. It makes me feel good to see you two together.
Mak Kwak forever !! :D gorrąco pozdrawiam :)
In the end of your video you've stated that you would have thumbs down for your statement. I think that you are awesome, guys. You are brave and imaginative. I am enjoying to watch your videos, especially Friday Trips. I lived in Szczecin for 5 years in 80-ties; love this town. And for Mark - you are funny and cheerful and acting happy, happy. Way to go!! Doesn't matter what Polish people could think about you. This same reaction from Polish people I get when visiting my old country. They consider me crazy. Hehehehe I am happy I found your website - my daughter could follow polish food recipes in English. All the best to you, Anna and Mark
Beautiful story thanks for sharing ❤
Awesome video! I loved going along with you and seeing the area.
Hvala from Cleveland, Ohio. We have a huge Polish community here and love your blog. I learned a lot about you today and Best of luck in your adventure's in Life. Na zdrowie!
It’s nice to meet you and listen to you and your experience. I’m from Szczecin .

Hello from Thailand! I just found your delightful UA-cam channel and immediately subscribed!! I love seeing real places like you show in this video!
