Catfish is what’s for dinner at American Legion
The Madison American Legion Post will have a catfish supper Saturday.
The menu includes Southern deep-fried catfish filets, hushpuppies, cole slaw, black-eyed peas, buttered potatoes with parsley, applesauce, desserts, iced tea and hot coffee. Only fresh, U.S. farm-raised catfish will be served, and the boneless filets will be cooked in vegetable and canola oil.
There is a choice of catfish or hotdogs for children.
Johnny Broyles and his band will play live country music during the supper.
The supper is $12, $5 for children ages 12 and younger. The Legion Post is at 310 Thrift Road in Madison. The event is a fundraiser for the Legion Post Boys State and Girls State programs. For information, call (540) 948-6683.

I frequently use only use one leek when I make soup or a stew. It gives a sweetness and mild onion-like flavor to the dish and is not as strong as an onion. Occasionally I also use leeks as a vegetable to accompany roast beef. A British friend gave me the recipe, saying that the sweetness of leeks balanced the heavy flavors of roast beef.

How to describe this book-  It measures a mere four inches by six inches, has 122 pages, is tiny enough to carry in pocket or purse.  John W. Whitehead, the founder of our local Rutherford Institute, wrote “God is a Four Letter Word,“ and reading it has been - for this non-believer - an experience to treasure, but one difficult to quantify on the page.
