First Swanking - January 28, 2007 - Pasadena

[innerSpaceman]

As one who must find some way to trim my restaurant budget for the year, I'm not averse to avoiding expensivish meals. But a birthday swanking is not one of those occassions, and I really don't consider La Machera's prices to catapult them into the realm of expensive restaurants (but perhaps that's part of my problem).

In any event, alas, I can never participate in anything that has a fusion with Thai food or anything served in restaurants that also prepare Thai food. Health concerns and all.

But don't get me wrong. I like to try new things. (hehe, I'm only bemoaning the mojitos because it's been more than a year since I had a decent one). And I am also not averse to less expensive dining on many subsquent swankings.
