W." Subject: Off Topic: Polish Bigo recipe Hi all, Does anyone here have or still remember the recipe of Polish Bigo by Basia? My friend who love to cook wants to try many recipes from around the world (and she uses me as a tester!) but she has not find any simple recipes from Poland. I remember that there was one in the old smoe site, I did save it but I forget where I put it. Thank you very much. Desianto F. W. Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Not at all in the vein of her later successful pop career, marked by what I consider to be fairly insipid lyrics and arrangements, and souless deliveries - these first two blaze with dynamic intensity and creative urgency. I consider it a musical tragedy somewhat akin to Eva Cassidy's untimely loss, that MM walked away from her earlier stylings so completely -- though I believe I saw a review of a new work she released recently that marked a return to her earnest, direct channelings of passion. Here is not the jazzy mix of latin and other rhythms of Basia so beloved - but a mix (including forays into secular gospel) just as eclectic and satisfying for its time - and perhaps, some of you might think, for ours as well. On the sunny side, Rob McCausland ------------------------------ End of basia-digest V11 #83 ***************************
