Mi Piace

We went to Old Town Pasadena for an afternoon snack today, but somehow my sisters turned it into 4 p.m. dinner.

Tuna wonton tower.

Mushroom, olive, and feta pizza.

Mediterranean salad.

Seasoned fries.

Almond Roca cake. Food at Mi Piace is fine, but service is incredibly lackluster and prices are high. We go because it's Old Town and it's hard to find anything that's not stupidly trendy, but I think I'm going to try harder for an alternative next time. We wanted to go to Rose Tea Garden, but they stop serving afternoon tea at 3!

We were in the area to attend...drumroll...a bridal convention. I know, gag. My mom really wanted to go. Wow. Talk about sensory overload. Above is my edited stash (all the stuff I'm actually going to read). I made out with a ton of magazines, some fun photos of me with my sisters, three candles in tins, a bunch of candy, a chocolate bar, sunblock, lip balm, and some bath salts. It was interesting, but I can't say it was a good convention in terms of giving me very many usable ideas. Mostly, it was just overpriced vendors trying to get business. We did find one extremely good and seemingly reasonable caterer though. Her name's on the list.
