able to pick up grande javas and crispy tacos in the same shopping center. Two popular chains Chipotle Mexican Grill and Starbucks are en route to the new Trindle Run Center in Silver Spring Twp. The two restaurants will open at the end of this year, said Joe Spagnola of LMS Com- mercial Real Estate. The shopping center sits next to Lawrence Chevrolet and across the street from the Silver Springs Square, which hous- es Wegmans and Target. Trindle Run Center also is slated to have a PetValu store, and there are several spac- es available for lease including a 7,000-square- foot pad, Spagnola said. A passage to Sicily Anthony Fiorello has brought a little bit of Sicily to Mechanics- burg. Fiorellos Italian Bistro opened in July at 600 E. Simpson St. in what for a short time was the home of another Italian restau- rant, Bistro 600. You dont have to go to Sicily to have Italian food, he said. The Brooklyn-born Fiorello, who grew up in Sicily, has built an expansive menu covering hand-tossed pizzas, stromboli, fried calamari, panini sandwich- es, veal parmesan, lobster ravioli and mussels. Pizza choic- es number at about one dozen and range from Bufalo chicken to steak, shrimp, taco and primavera. The bistro also sells New York-style, white pizza and Sicilian. The pies in Fiorellos words are created with a taste nobody else has. The secret, though, is not the handmade dough or the sauce. Its in my hands, he said. Fiorello and his wife, Enza, have owned seven pizza shops, includ- ing Palermo Pizzeria in Hummel- stown and ones in Hershey, Mount Union and Allentown. Philly Steak and Shake opens Carrabbas open during renovation Teds to relocate Page B2 When I was a kid, we had four kinds of vegetables: potatoes, corn, iceberg lettuce and things from a can. Things from a can were mostly peas and green beans. The green beans were more gray than green, and the peas cooked into a heap of mushy pebbles that we smooshed to paste with the back of our forks. Sometimes, a spongy chunk of blanched carrot showed up in a bowl of soup. On Thanksgiving and Christmas, my mother served sweet potatoes covered in marshmallows. We did not, as nutritionists now advocate, eat the rainbow. I dont blame my mother for the lack of dark, leafy greens in our diet or for covering our deep-orange nu- trients in melted campre treats. My mother cooked the family meals, but she had a tough audience. It was the 1970s in coal region Penn- sylvania, and unfamiliar produce, in general, was scrutinized. Swiss chard and Brussels sprouts were identied as international villains. Our garden salads were chopped, pickled in a jar and called chow chow. No one was ying avocados to the local Acme. We had man- goes, but only because thats what my grandmother called green bell peppers. Thirty years later, my lunch this afternoon was a mixed green salad with avocado and cucumber. I chose the avocado with a loving squeeze at the local supermarket. The greens and cucumber arrived in my weekly box of organic produce. Ive come a long way from being a veggie-phobe. It started slowly. At rst, I substi- tuted romaine lettuce, which has a Not valid on dispatch fee, discount or other offers. PA5766.
