Simple eggplant parmigiana on a bed of garlic-y spinach... Wow that went so well together! No breadcrumbs. No egg. No flour. Just grilled eggplant-fresh mozzarella-plain tomato sauce and grated Grano Padano cheese on top. Baked to melt together. Yum! https://www.instagram.com/p/CqUCqXGutSy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Here in Starbucks after dropping a friend off at the hospital for his knee surgery... There's a bunch of hard working kids in here... I can't help but notice how many more people pre order their drinks- and then just run in-grab them off the counter and go! No interaction with the staff... Kinda sad. Personally I like the interaction with people. You should never(or at least rarely) be in so much of a hurry that you can't wait a couple minutes for a coffee. ... And maybe say hi to the person who made it for you. Makai - the cute young man who made my coffee was pleasant and obviously hard working! So stop in and see him and the crew if you're at the Starbucks at 8267 Md Rt3 N Lane Millersville, MD. .... Also a good place to buy a quick gift card for then to use for a caffè sospeso for them to use for someone.😉(they won't keep cash!) I left mine specially for someone in uniform... Police -fire -rescue -nurse... Ciao for now! Love Dorina (at Millersville, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpc0AV6uJEh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

In Italy there's a "thing" called caffè sospeso- Which translated to "suspended coffee"- it's a coffee paid for in advance as an anonymous act of kindness. The tradition began in Naples where if someone had good fortune would buy2 coffees...Drinking one coffee. Later if a "poor" person came in they could get a cafe sospeso-for free. A nice thing to do no matter what time of year it is... Love ❤️ Dorina https://www.instagram.com/p/CpczFrlOrjh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
