Hi Darya,

I suggest using a back pack or buy some saddle bags for your motorcycle. You can also find other great accessories to add on to your bike like a huge basket.

Good luck!

Hi Tina,

How much quantity are you going to carry? Lbs of zucchini, tomato and onion that is.

If that quantity is not big then a backpack would be fine. Onion will stay even in oppressive weather. As for tomatoes, don’t take the fully ripe ones, especially if you are riding in the day and ride is for more than 8 hrs. Zucchinis will stay. As a general rule, I used to take 90% ripe veggies.

Use netted bags and keep them separated though. Question: Are you riding alone or will have a pillion rider with you?

I would use an open milk crate that you can strap on to the motorcycle. You can put some foam cushioning in it to prevent bruising. I know it can be done because have done it on my Softtail. Hope this helps.

Hi Darya, your website is great. I was wondering if you have any ideas on how I can transport whole fresh vegetables like a zucchini, onion and tomato on a motorcycle. I am going on an overnight trip and cooking dinner at our destination. I can’t live without my veggies, and don’t want to buy them when my garden fresh ones are better. I’m thinking I have to keep them in the open air. All the compartments on the Harley are closed and hot, not good conditions for veggies. Please email any ideas. thanks.Tina

Are there any organic bakeries in SF? If so do you know of any good ones I can go to?

I use Teflon and am just very careful with how I treat them–never any metal or anything that can scratch. The best, affordable set I’ve found is the Cuisinart. The higher end Calphalon are also excellent.

Hi, Darya,
My Teflon skillets started falling apart and I’m looking for something to replace them. Do you think I should go with Tegflon again? I looked into the GreenPan but I guess there are a lot of fraudulant positive comments out there about those and it turns out that they aren’t good quality at all according to a lot of reviews. Do you know what can I use that will be safe for my family and also easy to cook on and clean?

Not exactly candy, but not too far off from an oatmeal cookie. There are worse things, but there are also better things. I’ve never found a granola bar I’ve been very happy with. They’re tasty, but very sugary.

Do you consider Nature Valley granola bars as candy bars because the second item on the ingredient list is sugar… they have 12g of sugar per package…
