Down To Earth

Day 2 Paul: Back to bedlam

Let the great experiment continue! Breakfast: Veggie omelet with peaches on the side, Apple Cider to drink. Lunch: I was discriminate in my choices during the Sustainable September luncheon and presentation at the Lincoln Center, skipping the Neopolitan Mousse dessert, cheese, sauces and beverages.

But I enjoyed the salami, chicken terrine, mortadella, heirloom tomtatoes, nectarines, peaches, cucumber, mixed greens, all from Rocky Rodge Ranch, P.E.A.C.H. Permaculture Farm, and Twin Springs Farms respectively. Once again, Sante saved the day. Be sure to check out Green Drinks on September 8th, 5:30pm to 9:00pm, co-hosted by Bart and I at Sante’s. We’re like Tango and Cash (while Remi Andre wears a steak cologne called Stologne.) Dinner: Not that hungry after lunch but I won't take another night of eating tons of vegetables and drinking Dry Fly. Moneeeq asked me if booze made the challenge easier or waaaay harder. I’m leaning towards the latter. To paraphrase from Mitch Hedberg, alcohol is not a crutch because a crutch helps you walk--- it's more like a step you don't see. And I’m not known for graceful movements. In nemesis news, Remi is already playing dirty, laughing and lying like the evil Newman to my affable Jerry. It won’t be long before he cracks and proceeds to eat a whole pie to himself crouching in the shower with the lights off. I haven’t had this much desire to win since junior high. It begins, but does it ever end? Let's hope not. Until next time…
