mango chili?!?!?!

Mango goes well with black beans and tomatoes. I bet you could find a black bean chili recipe and add mango chunks near the end of the cooking time so the mango doesn't get too mushy.

Breads for sale, flies included

Maybe it has something to do with that always lingering dead-fish smell at GC market - I can't stand walking by there!

What to feed my sick ladies at home?

I always make ginger tea for myself and husband when we're sick. Slice up about 2" of ginger (no need to peel) and add to about 3-4 cups of water. Boil for about 15-20 minutes until the water is golden. Add fresh lemon juice and honey. It really helps you breathe easier and gives you some energy. I know it's not cold, but I also make carrot/lemon/ginger soup - somehow the onions, ginger, lemon and carrot are like a superdrug to snap you out of your cold - works every time!

Gluten Free Cake Substitution?

I've heard that Almond Flour is a good substitute in cake baking. It also may go well with the pistacio in your recipe, keeping it nut-related.

The Absolute Best Of Union Square Green Market

I agree, quality and selection varies. My attack plan for the Union Square greenmarket is to start on the south end. I browse and look at the pricing and see which stands are the busiest. I listen to what the customers are commenting on and asking, and try the samples that some stands put out. Once I get to the north end, I have a pretty good idea who has the best price and best looking produce. I hate the weekend crowds at the market, but Saturday morning really is the best time to go because there are more vendors.
