The blog BushwickBK brings us the good news that the farmers market at Knickerbocker and Starr, which had experienced a sluggish summer, has been attracting more and more customers these days. Jenny Parker, market manager and a Make the Road NY employee, which helps sponsor the market, told BushwickBK that “It’s getting bigger every week.” On a separate note, the market also accepts food stamps and is one of 15 farmers markets that gives customers two dollars in Health Bucks for every five dollars spent in food stamps. It’s a program from the NYC Department of Health to help lower-income families buy fresh produce while supporting local farmers, where Health Bucks can be spent at the participating markets.

BF makes an amazing fryup with spicy lamb sausage and eggplant. Really yummy.

Fruits and vegetables don’t have to be organic to fulfill a proper diet. Include them in your daily menus.
Think I’ll buy some eggplant on my lunch break for this weekend.
That’s right, son. Your eggplant has not just one but THREE penises.
For a super simple recipe you can sautee them chopped up with olive oil, garlic, fresh tomatoes and onions. Doesn’t take long and tastes great. Add hot pepper flakes if its your thing.
