Your Christmas meal plans

Within the next 10 hrs. or so, Chile Pepper I'll give you the link for slaw recipe that we will use. Different versions on the 'Net, but ours won't have mayonnaise in it.

I miss big Christmas family gatherings since I've lived in a different province over the last 10 yrs. A full family gathering would be over 20 people --just sibs and their spouses/kids, plus my parents.

I'm just content to spend it with dearie.

Catrin: I haven't eaten enough venison to distinguish difference with elk. And vice versa. I've eaten alot of different stuff and after awhile, I get mixed up. But elk does not take long to cook or otherwise it gets tough.

Edit: Chilepepper-- This recipe is super simple. http://chefmichaelsmith.com/Recipe/lemon-fennel-slaw/ Even marinating for half an hr. or so will enhance flavour.
We plan to add crushed anise seeds to deepen that licorice flavour.
