Hi Caireen, I use environmentally friendly bags, it’s just that I brought so much that all of my organic goodies couldn’t fit in my backback with a laptop and camera. The 2 other bags I had (all eco-friendly) were also full of organic goodies…. I had to give in to using a plastic bag, as much as it killed me, as well! Please, do not worry- I re-used the bag several more times since, and now, it’s nicely folded in my backpack near my umbrella…

Have you tried using cloth grocery bags for your organic goodies as opposed to the environmentally unfriendly plastic ones, as seen in the last picture? They are really wonderful!

Organic potatoes can be healthy if you eat the skin, but they are starchy so you should watch your portions. I wouldn’t consider them good for weight loss.

Hi dear, i don’t find in your blog something about potatoes, could you explain or give me the link to the relative post? Do you think potatoes are good both for health and weight loss? Thank you so much.
PS: your project is wonderful!

Awe, I miss the Union Square market! I used to go a few times a week during my lunch break at work. The market at Prospect Park is great too. Perfect time of year in NY for farmers’ markets – thanks for the update Kamran.

Hi Darya! Thanks so much for your kind words! It was an absolute pleasure to do a guest post for you! Also a good excuse to spend the day talking about and photographing food with friends and family.
