Prairie Woods Golf Course - Janesville East - Friday Night Fish Fry
This entry was posted on 7/13/2007 10:43 PM and is filed under Supper Clubs - Wisconsin-esque,Friday Night Fish Fry.
Last Friday Heide and I rode in style in the Mitsubishi (I am not worthy) out to Prairie Woods Golf Course. People have been telling me to check it out. One thing that we liked was the patio seating overlooking the course and woods. If you do sit outside, bring a bit of bug lotion just in case the sun begins to set. The other thing that impressed us both was the well maintained salad bar. They had all the usual suspects; there was creamy cole slaw, fresh rolls, soup, cheese spread, potato salad, and even Mandarin Oranges.
One can get fried Cod or Perch for $9.50 for the two piece, or $10.50 for the three piece. You can also get baked or broiled cod for $10.50. The Walleye is $10.50 for a two piece. They offer home made potato pancakes, baked potato, or fries with the fish. They also prepare a different rice dish each week to substitute for the potato side.
I should mention that we were greeted with a nice welcome at the front desk; and, our waitress really kept an eye on our needs. Also, the salad bar had someone assigned to keep it in shape - small attention to details means something in today's often impersonal world. Prairie Woods Golf Course is cool with Cool Dadio.
Out of Janesville take County Road 'A' east and go through Johnstown. Then watch for the sign to the left. Prairie Woods Golf Course is back up in the fields a mile or so. Call (608) 883 - 6500 for more details on other specials and meals.
This week's Wisconsin soldier to remember is Corporal Jesse L. Thiry, age 23, of Casco, Wisconsin. Jesse was in the 1st Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, 1st Marine Expeditionary Force. Corporal Thiry was killed by hostile fire in Anbar province, Iraq, on April 5, 2004. Casco is a small town just north east of Green Bay. Thiry died in Fallujah, where a mob attacked, killed, and mutilated four U.S. contractors just the week prior. Jesse was the fourteenth Wisconsin military member to die in Iraq. At the time of Thiry's death, 631 U.S. service members had been killed in the Iraq war. According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Thiry had been in Iraq less than a month when killed and was part of the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force's mission of occupying Fallujah, Ramadi and other cities about 30 miles west of Baghdad. At the time it was one of the areas of Iraq with the most intense fighting during the U.S. military's 11-month deployment in Iraq. The Journal Sentinel also mentioned that Cpl. Thiry was a Marine weapons instructor in Quantico, Virgina. He transfered to an assignment that would take him to Iraq just eight months before he was scheduled to leave the military. Jesse Thiry is survived by his mom and dad Susan and Randy Thiry and seven siblings. He is the fourth of eight children and a graduate of Luxemburg-Casco High School where he wrestled and ran track. He entered the Marine Corps shortly after graduation.
