The dark chocolate is a favorite, but the milk chocolate…you have to try it.  So smooth.  Then, the combination with nuts and sea salt renders a toffee that is totally addictive.

Cindi and I decided to try 2 Meatless Monday lunches.  Leo suggested the following:

A tamal, enfrijolada, chile relleno with cheese, rice and guacamole.

Dessert was presented by Leo….It was a Chocolate Mousse Cake; light, moist with just the right amount of sweetness.

Winter Concert, Cape Henlopen High School, Lewes, Delaware, Southern Delaware Choral Society, Christmas Oratorio, J.S. Bach, Handel’s Messiah Sing-A-Long on Sunday, December 22nd in Lewes, Delaware Beaches

dscn6929

The location was the beautiful Cape Henlopen High School….Sunday afternoon we had the opportunity to get into the Holiday Spirit.  Many of us have had a very trying year, nevertheless, we carry the spirit of the season, reflecting, and yes, celebrating, as well.

It was the Winter Concert…Christmas Oratorio by J.S. Bach, presented by the Southern Delaware Choral Society, accompanied by a chamber orchestra.

dscn6930

The Southern Delaware Choral Society is a cultural entity in Delaware, established in 1985.  The Society performs winter concerts in Georgetown and Lewes, Delaware, in the winter…spring concerts in Rehoboth Beach.  More info?  Please visit http://www.southerndelawarechoralsociety.org.

dscn6917

The Christmas Oratorio was such a special treat for us to enjoy these classic pieces of choral music.  Guest Conductor, Simeone Tartaglione, explained Johann Sebastian Bach to the audience.  J.S. Back composed the Christmas Oratorio for the Christmas Season in 1734-1735.

dscn6919

The English translation used by the Southern Delaware Choral Society was by the Revd. Dr. J. Troutbeck, who translated many of J.S. Bach’s works from the original German.

The beautiful voices, the musicians and most of all the Conductor gave us a something delightful today!!

dscn6924

Merry Christmas!
