Mexico Style - La Leche

     La Leche is a fancy schmancy restaurant by PV standards, but I think anyone would be comfortable there. The entire decor is based around milk cartons, so absolutely everything is in white, with milk logos and bottles everywhere. I had to visit just to check out the decor - and with all the different shaped chairs and textures, the white is surprisingly cozy.  I wanted to rip that huge photo of the milk bottle off the wall and put it in my kitchen! The chef makes a different menu every night, which is presented at your table on a big chalkboard, and there are smaller tables, outdoor patio seating, or long family-style tables where you can sit with other groups like my fave NYC restaurant, Asia de Cuba.

  Check out the amazing robalo and scallops dish I had. Yummy!

Mexico Style - Wedding Reception/Villa

Back from Puerto Vallarta and I will save my recommendations for my guest post on Sabra's blog - The Lonely Wife Project. PV has grown and changed so much since I lived there and besides the mall and huge movie theatres, etc.. there are also now some very stylish places to go out. I liked it better when it was a sleepy fishing village but I guess you can't stop progress and there are some really beautiful homes and businesses there now. I was lucky enough to attend a wedding reception at a gorgeous 9 bedroom villa on Friday night. This house belongs to friends of the bride's family, but can be rented out - can you imagine a weekend with the girls here? Fab! And how gorgeous is the bride?!
So glad to be home (although the streets are littered with remnants from Mardi Gras...) Stay tuned for more Mexico Style posts this week!

P.S. Jalisco (the state Puerto Vallarta is in) is the birthplace of tequila and mariachi. I loved the mariachi at this reception, and I had them at my own wedding, which was on the beach in PV. Too bad my love of mariachi music lasted longer than the marriage!
