#SpoCOOL: 7vs7: Day 1 Recap Click it!
By Remi | Sep 01, 2009 | 7 Responses… and he’s out! Sometimes life gets in the way of competitions, which brought John crashing out of the competition. Credit where credit is due — the notification came very promptly. It also made Bart feel good about himself, as for once he’s not the first person out. However…
… panic starts striking! And this is straight from Bart’s mouth: “in all honesty though, I’ll likely be out by Wednesday [..] be expecting my resignation announcement any hour”
On their way out: BrightSpirit and Mark, unless they can update us on their progress before 8pm tonight. We’re hardcore here!
And checking in with the rest:
- Becky: Is surviving solely on garlic and honey.
- Unknown Neva: In it, and preaching energy cost efficiency to long term 7vs7 fiend, Ryan.
- Moneeeq: Crepes? Nice idea.
- Andrew: He’s sweating the lack of the glorious nectar known as coffee, but is still hanging on. (Barely.)
- Hank: Kills chickens in front of his family to get his kicks during the contest.
- Paul: The George Costanza of the group is probably cheating, but claims to be doing OK for now.
- Remi: I’m in here, and I’m loving it!
- Crystal: The contest’s only vegan is doing this hardcore style, and making the rest of us look bad!
- Stephanie: Seems to be coasting through just fine.
- Rachel: I was ready to put her on the “On their way out” list until I found that she has updated her Twitter account with her progress.
- Brandi: Also updated her Twitter, so I’m giving her the benefit of the doubt that she’s still in there.

Sep 01 2009 5:33 pmThis is my update from yesterday posted on Jacque’s blog does this count? Do I need to post it here too?
This is really hard. I miss salt and I work so many hours that I eat on fly even though I eat mostly local good food. Monday I woke up in a hurry to get out the door and realized that I did not remember to bring home my 100 miles foods. I rummaged through my kitchen trying to find any 100-mile foods and found bee pollen from Pomery. I also had milk but I don’t drink milk. I ate some bee pollen and went to the p.e.a.c.h. Farm for Monday AM harvest. Fortunately the farm is full of fresh produce so I ate fresh tomatoes, the black cherry tomatoes are my favorite of the moment, cucumbers, peppers and tomatios. I still ended up being very hunger, likely due to the hard physical work of harvest, by the time I got home at noon. Again I found myself in my non-100 miles stocked kitchen and came up with this dish. I took cream from the top of the milk and sautéed summer squash, tomitios, fresh oregano and green onion most of which came from our front yard garden (thanks Jac!—he is the one who plants and waters it). It was ok but it REALLY needed SALT! On Monday I missed salt more then anything. I also had a cup of hot tea with mint from our front yard sweetened with local honey, a bowl of cereal with Emmer flakes, honey and milk. What really sustained me was the half gallon of Green Smoothie I made with kale from Tolstoy, chard from Front Porch and nectarines from Twin Springs. Again, I miss salt more then anything else.

Sep 02 2009 2:20 amFirst off, I’d like to say congratulations on inheriting Earth, meek.
But cheating!? If anything you’re the Newman to my Jerry. I’ve looked into your eyes Remi. There’s nothing. You’re pure evil. I’ve been hearing nasty stories of you on this side of the river. One person claimed that you were hurled into the river by a gang after carelessly mishandling a taco still sore from your one of your restroom reviews, while another account claims you tried to cage a marmot to keep as a pet. Bart says he’s never seen you in worse shape, and Andrew seems to be doing very well by comparison.
