Medieval Women's Choir
This evening, "J" and I changed into nicer clothes and went to a church for a concert by the Medieval Women's Choir, which we were attending with our friend "N". We got lucky on traffic and parking (the church's reserved parking hadn't filled). The performance was a collection of medieval music with the theme "Sun, Moon, and Stars". My favorite pieces were those featuring the soloists. The most familiar piece was "O Fortuna", part of the Carmina Burana - but it wasn't the version everyone has heard with the Carl Orff score; instead it was set to medieval music. In spite of having heard "O Fortuna" with the medieval music, I was humming the Carl Orff music on the walk back to the car.
After the show, N suggested caffeine and sugar. We headed to Dilettante. I tried something I hadn't tasted there before, the Strawberry Chantilly; it was delicious, and something I'll probably order again. (I passed on the caffeine that late in the evening.) J had a German chocolate cake and coffee. I forget what N had, except that she finished with a chocolate coffee drink of some sort. The people-watching was good, even for Dilettante on a Saturday night; most amusing was a young woman with fake eyelashes longer than her nose. I pointed her out to J, who had already noticed the eyelashes; they were that conspicuous.
After the dessert, we gave N a ride home, then continued home ourselves.
