YUMMY NEW RESTAURANT

Last week I was invited with My Mexico Family to go and try out a new restaurant and it was sooo yummy!!

We went and tried out Las Adelitas a newer restaurant close to home.  It has a little taste for everyone's palette.

They brought us our drinks and a quick snack.  I ordered a mojito.  It came frozen in a terra-cotta glass.  It stayed soo cold and tasty for soo long!!


You can see the little snack they brought us in the background.  Cucumbers and Jicama picados with limon y chile.  LOVE THIS STUFF!!



The restaurant was soo cute and you really felt like you were in old world Mexico (well besides the flat screens).  The owner did a GREAT job with this restaurant.  I loved everything about this restaurant.




Ummm...Check out that full RACK of RIBS!!  They were soooo tender and YUMMY!!  See..even if you are in Mexico, you can have a little taste of good home cookin food!



Kristin had a french dip.

And I ordered baja style shrimp tacos.  Everything was soo good.  The sauce, the coleslaw..everything!


And to end this post, we have a couple of pictures of Luna.  She went to the vet yesterday and she's all vaccinated and ready.  She weighs 13 kilos 600 grams or just about 30 pounds.  She's healthy and ready for action.  I love my little PV city and Luna's vet.  Got Luna vaccinated, nails clips, her but glands cleaned (i attempted, but did not succeed.  Not something I can clearly do by myself.) heartguard and a front line application for all $500 pesos.  She's good & healthy until next year!!!



This week I'm getting ready for my trip back to the States for the annual visit!  Getting excited everyday!  Here's just a peek.

Salsas & Margaritas...OH MY!!!

A couple of weeks ago, I headed off to a great event planned by my friend Louise Daly.  She has been an amazing help to me at events and has given Kristin a bit of a break from coordinating the wedding day.  She volunteered for the PURR project here in Puerto Vallarta which is a no-kill cat shelter.  


We went to an amazing Salsa and Margarita Tasting event with raffle and live auction items.  It was such a great afternoon!!
Started with a HOT & STEAMY Bus ride to the restaurant.



I got there in time for a refreshing Mojito & Live Music!



The first pairing was a tamarindo margarita with a fresh pico de gallo.  I didn't get a picture of this one, but was soo tasty!  This was the 2nd pairing.  Regular lime margarita with a Mango salsa.  This salsa was AMAZING!!



The 3rd pairing was a Jamaica Margarita with an AMAZING guacamole salsa.  Sooo much garlic it was YUMMO!




 The last pairing was a chocolate margarita with a chipotle salsa.  SOOO GOOD!!  YEP!!  I said CHOCOLATE.







And the lady of the hour...Louise Daly.  She did such an amazing job pulling this event together!  Miss you my friend!




Here's a quick video from the afternoon!
