As you probably know, lately I have been under the weather and unable to attend the club’s annual Sausages & Lentils picnic/tournament.
But even though I stayed home, I was with you in spirit.
According to my sources, 42 players showed up to compete and feast on Jean-Claude Etallaz famed “diots” (sausages) “a la Savoyarde”.
And indeed they looked scrumptious on the photos taken by a certain Tamara Efron.
It would be remiss of me not to mention Antoine Lofaro who did a great job assisting Jean-Claude.
14 triplettes competed for the top spots, and after the dust settled the following people came to the podium to be kissed by the local miss and receive their purses.
1st place: Patrick Vaslet, Sabine Mattei, Jean-Michel Poulnot: $48.00
2nd place: Benji Tosi, Christine Jones, Larry Cragg: $24.00
3rd place: Brendan Cohen, C. Davantes, Mireille DiMaio: $12.00
Let’s not forget that “Winning is only half of it. Having fun is the other half.” Bum Phillips
The tournament was run by Verena Rytter assisted by Liv Kraft who was gracious enough to sit through the entire tournament to keep scores and allow Verena to compete.
Thank you Liv. You are indeed the genuine article.
I won’t speak at length about what I didn’t witness and I will let instead Tamara’s photos speak for themselves.
Congratulations to the winners and best luck next time to the rest of the pack!
