In the final chapter of our trio of dessert clips, Natalia puts the milk, the eggs and the caramelized sugar together. After some time in the oven and then some more time in the refrigerator, you’re ready to enjoy some “leche asada” with a cup of café or plain old milk.

Teresa thinks that Juan’s room has a lot of onda, which is to say that it’s got a nice vibe. But hey, Jim Morrison’s watchful gaze will do that to a pad. It’s definitely a summer of love for some, but not for Mauro: but not for lack of trying. Can he buy Violeta’s love with favors and persistence?

In Part 2 of our dessert-making lesson, Natalia shows and tells us the importance of beating the “huevos” into a smooth consistency. After the eggs are whipped into shape, we’re heating up the “leche” until it bubbles but doesn’t quite boil. Seguimos con capítulo 3.

You never know where you will find your next tour guide. There are those who have been assigned to you by your travel agent, and then there are those who assign themselves to you. Francisco Pérez, one of the oldest university students in this ancient university city, thoroughly enjoys sharing his local knowledge with visitors who share his passion.

Mmmm… “roasted milk.” Somehow that translation doesn’t sound quite as tasty as the Peruvian (and Chilean) dessert “leche asada,” does it? In any case, our host Natalia (from Colombia) shows us how to whip up this sweet delicacy. In Part 1, Natalia starts by heating sugar to make caramel.

Mexico has a rich and varied architectural heritage that can be seen in its many classic colonial era plazas and buildings. The elementos of this historic architecture are preserved and utilized by today’s planners and builders, providing D.F. (Mexico City) with developments that are modern yet traditional and inviting, maintaining a sense of continuity with the past as the country pushes ahead into the 21st century.

Juan is a seller of large garden plants in the fashionable La Condesa neighborhood of Mexico City. Luckily for us, he was willing to tell us a little about his lovely merchandise, most of which grows native in the lush mountains of Oaxaca.

The Centro de Cultura Casa Lamm is composed of an art gallery, an art school, a cultural center, a bookstore, and, yes, the phenomenal Restaurante Lamm—all housed within a magnificent old mansion in the colonia Roma section of D.F. (Mexico City). Whether you want to sit down for a succulent meal of say, squash blossom lasagna, or just chill late-night with friends in the glass-encased courtyard, you are definitely going to want a fresh fruit margarita at the ready!

Could it be that the “Tu Rock es Votar” campaign resulted in a closer Mexican 2006 election, one that ironically left the youth feeling more disillusioned than ever? Felipe Calderón Hinojosa edged out Andrés Manuel López Obrador by such a thin margin that the losing side demanded a total recount, which was not granted. The ensuing cloud surrounding the election left a bitter taste in the mouths of many Mexicans.

We asked Carli Muñoz if he’d play a few bars of his latest compositions, and, luckily for us, he obliged. One of the tunes, “Portrait of Mia,” was written for his brand-new hija, Mia. We’re wondering if he’ll ever address her as mi’ja.
