things we dig: down dog yoga

August 26, 2010

One of the things I’ve discovered since working at Sweetgreen is that everyone I work with loves Yoga. I’ve never been a believer in yoga, but last night I was convinced give it a try. My co-workers and I went to Down Dog in Georgetown for a Hot Yoga session. I’d consider myself pretty athletic but I’ve never sweated or stretched as much as I did last night. While I was definitely a novice, the instructors were great about making it challenging and pushing me to the next level. When the class was over, not only did my body and muscles feel great, but I was relaxed beyond belief. All the stress of the work week was wiped away and my mind was clear. Even though I’m pretty sore today, I’ve been converted and can’t wait for my next yoga session later this weekend.

things we dig: sriracha hot sauce

August 3, 2010

Sriracha is an uber-popular spicy chili sauce. Nowadays, it is very commonly found on a chef’s list of favorite ingredients. You can basically put it on anything. It’s made from sun ripen chilies which are ground into a smooth paste with garlic and packaged into a convenient squeeze bottle. We have it on our menu, feel free to ask for a squeeze in your salad!

I thought I’d share with you my favorite blog (besides this one of course!).  It combines food with photography and presents each food item like a work of art. Plus, the recipes are usually really inventive and tasty! Check it out! It’s called Tastespotting.

We recently discovered the new Klean Kanteen Insulated bottle… and we love it! It’s so cool because it keeps drinks hot or cold ALL DAY LONG. So now you can even be eco-friendly when you want something other than water!
