January 19th was the best afternoon of my life. A friend took me to the Joyce to see the Irene Rodriguez Company. It\u2019s a small Cuban company: six dancers, six musicians and Irene Rodriguez the director and principal dancer and choreographer. The first dance was a teaser. The curtain was raised only to the dancers\u2019 knees. We watched twelve very agile feet glide, twist, dance. No way of distinguishing female or male. Eight dances followed. Have you ever seen a dancer dancing in a gown with a train? Rodriguez and the other women turned their trains into part of the dance. Every\u00a0 <\/span>dance was a delight visually and choreographically.<\/i><\/p>\n

The next afternoon I went to a Frick concert, Trio Kar\u00e9nine. It was the ensemble\u2019s New York debut. The musicians, a violinist, cellist and pianist treated us to a somber rendering of Shostakovish, Ravel and Schubert. Afterwards, we went to Via Quadronno where I had one of my favorite desserts: affocato al caffe (vanilla ice cream with espresso).<\/i><\/p>\n

Speaking of food, a few friends came to Friday night supper. For dessert I served plumbing supplies made of chocolate. United Chocolate Works makes these eye catching treats.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
