NEWNAN—The Southside Ultreya hosted its third annual Men’s Cook-Off, judged by the group’s women. The amateur chefs competed for the best appetizer/soup, vegetable/salad, entrée and dessert at a Saturday, June 28, meeting at St. Mary Magdalene Church in Newnan.

It meets the third Saturday of the month at St. Mary Magdalene after the 5 p.m. Mass.

June’s theme was “Feed the Body . . . Feed the Soul.” The guest speaker was Glenn Cogar from St. George Church, who shared his journey before and after his Cursillo weekend.

And then happy task of judging the prepared dishes took place.

The winners were: Best Appetizer/Soup—Hot Bacon/Cheese Bread-bowl by Pete Darcy from St. Mary Magdalene; Best Vegetable/Salad—Parmesan Zucchini by Ray Towle from St. Mary Magdalene; Best Entrée—Curry Chicken & Broccoli Casserole by Don Reich from Holy Trinity; and Best Dessert—Apple Cinnamon Rolls by Al Molina from St. George Church.
