Warm you your leg warmers for 80s TRIVIA NIGHT! 

Tonight: 80s Trivia on Zoom

In an effort to keep our community connected, make some new friends and hang with old ones, we are hosting a TRIVIA NIGHT tonight starting at 7pm!

The game will entail 4-5 rounds and involve all of your senses: Sounds! Music! Visuals! Best of all, you get to participate in a TEAM of five people, so don’t worry about your level of 80s trivia knowledge. The idea is to have fun while also raising funds! There is no cost to join, but participants are encouraged to give a small donation to Michelle Z.‘s organization Operation Feed, which supports healthcare workers in Brooklyn. See last week’s blog posts about Michelle’s organization to learn more. We’re planning on this event going anywhere from 60-90 minutes.

All spots are full, but we still encourage you to donate to Operation Feed at the link above. See you tonight, competitors! 

Question of the Day

If you could only use three condiments for the rest of your life, what would they be?

Salad in The Time Of Social Distancing

By Chris Fox

Springtime is here and that means the arrival of a wider selection of fresh produce to choose from, which also usually signifies shutting down the oven for the season and moving from roasted veg sides to salads full of fresh leafy stuff. With social distancing and many of us shopping less frequently however, we may not have the same access to the lettuces and other delicate greens that come to mind when we think of a spring salad… Things like mache, baby arugula, and dandelion don’t hold up too well once they’re picked and are best eaten within a few days. The “recipe” below, which uses a few heartier raw vegetables thrown together with vinegar, salt, and pepper as the “dressing,” is your ticket to eating fresh veg all year long.

The words recipe and dressing are used pretty loosely here, as there’s a lot of room to play with ingredients based on what you have in your house.

The Suggested Stuff

• ¼ medium head red cabbage, sliced thin (about 2 cups)
• 1 medium carrot, sliced into rounds (about 1 cup…I used about 20 baby carrots)
• 1 medium roasted beet, peeled and cubed (about 1 cup)
• 2 leaves collard greens, stem removed and sliced thin (about 2 cups)
• 1 stalk celery, sliced
• ½ english cucumber, partially peeled and cubed (about 1 cup)
• 20 grape tomatoes, halved (or about 1 cup chopped tomato)
• ½ – ⅔ cup black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1-2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1-2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1 tsp kosher salt (½ tsp if using table salt)
• 1 tsp ground black pepper (or ½ tsp white)
• ½ – 1 tsp red chile flakes

The Suggested Method

Put the hearty stuff (cabbage) in a big bowl with the salt, pepper, and some of the vinegar. Using your hands, massage ‘em together for a minute until you feel the cabbage begin to break down and give up some of its water. Let it sit while you prep the rest of the ingredients.

You can do larger amounts of cabbage up to this point to use as a vinegary slaw/quick kraut! It will keep it in the fridge for about 10 days if you don’t eat it sooner. This is my absolute favorite taco topping

Once the rest of the ingredients are prepped, toss ‘em in the bowl and mix the whole thing together.

Eat.

You can use almost any veg in here and use any cabbage that catches your eye. One great thing about a hearty salad like this is that any leftovers will keep for a day or so and not wilt like it would if it were lettuce/leaf based. While it can be used as a vegetable side, on this occasion we made it into a complete meal by adding pumpkin seeds for some healthy fats and protein (salmon for Jess and tofu for me) to round it out. Leftover cooked grains like pearl barley, quinoa, pasta and/or more beans would also have bumped the nutrition making it into a complete meal. Crumbled feta, Parmesan, and anchovy or two, and/or olives would be flavorful additions, too, though I’d reduce the salt and vinegar a bit and taste before adjusting.

Brittnastics Rest Week

Hi all, Coach Brittany here. Brittnastics finished the first cycle and will be returning next week on Thursday, April 30th for the next cycle.  Programming will continue to be released on Thursdays and Saturdays with weekly Brittnastics virtual classes resuming on Saturday, May 2nd. Thank you for participating in Brittnastics thus far.  I’m looking forward to bringing you some new gymnasty content in the coming weeks!

Today: Morning Meditation at 8am

As of last week we’ve added an additional Morning Meditation class with Coach Fox at 8am on Fridays! Join us for these free 30 minute classes as we begin our day together with a small dose of mindfulness. Each session begins with descriptions of the specific techniques we’ll use that day, some breath work followed by a brief mindfulness meditation, and ends with a few minutes for questions and comments. These sessions offer something to experienced meditators and first timers alike, and no previous experience at all is required. If you’ve been “contemplative curious,” this can be a great place to start. If you’re a seasoned sitter, use it as a nice bump to your existing practice.

We’re also offering 7am and 12pm virtual Locked & Loaded classes today. Go HERE to see our full weekend schedule. 

Question of the Day

If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go?
