Russian Store Food Haul 🛒

[@jhoanabastet]

I just can't get enough of this side of Maria. She is always keeping it real. God bless her!

[@drdoloresmize5386]

I know; I am not a fan of whisper videos; I prefer Maria doing soft voices videos best. She is SO creative - and such a great mom!! There’s little Mila practically ready for Kindergarten! Precocious and smart as a whip, that little Mila is!! A beautiful family all around. And when I get to feeling sorry for myself that I live far enough from my granddaughter that I can only go see her twice a year. So I think of Maria’s mom and dad - who we have seen on this channel having fun. But they live in Russia. That is a LOT farther from Mila than I am to my granddaughter. I also love it, Maria, when your parents are visiting because your accent gets primarily Russian when they are there!! And I know how that feels, as I am from Texas, didn’t move out of the state until 25. So when I talk to them on the phone, my husband says I sound like an actress tryout for Dallas, 2020, or something like that!!

[@designanddirection]

The KZbin algorithm brought me to your channel after I watched a documentary about a Soviet defector.I watched you talking about your troubled first few years in the USA. It sounds as if you were trafficked. You probably would have been pimped if you had gone the strip club route. Terrifying story! Glad all is ok now.

[@meganhenry5795]

For real! We love her! She's a beautifully genuine person. 🥰

“It’s a spread. It’s a spread ok. It’s a spread that I eat with a spoon.” *zooms in* I love that she admits that. Me too girl. Me too.

[@drdoloresmize5386]

Somnolent verve Yes!! I love her historical soft voice because it was just *her*. I guess I noticed she changed her soft voice when she did the Canadian Reese Peanut Butter Cup last October. It seems to me that she was doing a new soft voice with harder diction than before. I go back and watch her old ones just to get her regular old Maria voice. BUT, I do understand why she changed it a little. But oh yes, love her, I do!!! And I love to just watch her sweet American family...

[@abracadavra]

As a Romanian, I recognize almost all of the dishes you were talking about, since they are part of our cuisine too! I would die without my borsch and without my fermented foods. I remember watching all your other Russian foods videos and feeling like home :D. Some of these are definitely an acquired taste, but we Eastern Europeans love our sour food, not too sweet sweets and the sour cream whipped creams. My favorite spread is called "zacusca" here and looks very similar to yours, only ours has eggplants and bell peppers as a base.

[@theresaterri]

I LOVE this video... like, LOVE LOVE LOVE it so stinking much, you have no idea!! It is always nice to see another person being so real and raw and just absolutely and undeniably relatable. Maria, you are so many of us and we hear you, we see you and we empathize a lot with this entire video! It's refreshing to see myself a little in someone else and know that I'm not alone in the struggle to just put that cake down or to feel a bit low one day. I love you so much for this, thank you!!! I wish only the best for you :)
