That's why I edit my post. :D

There's one thing I bring to mind just after I edit my post. "Black boy" in Poland, specially for older people, can mean "boy with black hair" or dark skin or eyes.

Life / Polish Wedding Song (to dance with a mom) [11]

Real quick...It's about a girl from little village. Once she was on a dance and she was notice by a guy who is a real big poseur. You can imagine wath come next, huh? I think that's not a good song to dance with future mother-in-law...

@ McCoy: maybe "I will survive" by Gloria Gaynor will be better? :)

Love / Polish songs for a wedding [23]

Argh... "Windą do nieba" is not a wedding song. The woman sings that she's very sad, because she must marry a man she don't even love. Many Pole woman don't even listen to the text of this song, I've noticed...

Food / Murzynek - Traditional Polish Cake with Chocolate Glaze [12]

No offence, but translation of "murzynek" is much more "heavyer" than "black boy". And thats surely not even a bit racist. Please, don't think I'm rude or something, I think murzynek was "invented" long before II WW, when no one cares that will be unkind.

And in case of chocolate in cake. I must say, I've never seen a single housewife using chocolate to the murzynek. This cake is somekind of fast and simple crisis-cake ( I hope You know what I mean), and everyone is using cocoa. They do cake base (eggs, sugar, flour and bakingpowder) and add some cocoa (of course, cocoa without sugar). That's why it's kind crisis-cake :) ...

When you use chocolate cake is more like browne, and much more sweet...
Also murzynek colud be a base to make other cakes like metrowiec ( one meter cake). But metrowiec is more complicaded than murzynek...
