Last night I fixed 2 small venison roasts. I decided to slice them and cook them in olive oil and fresh diced garlic after I had sprinkled adobo seasoning on them. I browned them good on both sides then turned down the heat while I fixed dressing and a salad. Then I turned up the heat to get the pan hot and added about 1/2 -3/4 cup white cooking wine when this boiled I turned down the heat and simmered covered for a few minutes. Wow, it was good, it was very tender! (forgot to take a pic)
Today I made magic Reideer food for a couple of my friends who have smaller children.
Magic Reindeer Food
In a small zipper food storage bag or empty shaker container mix-
1/2 cup uncooked oatmeal
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup red or green or both sugar crystals (like what you use on cakes and cookies)
Attach this poem:
Be sure to take this magic food and sprinkle on the lawn,
On Christmas, Santa's reindeer travel miles before dawn.
The smell of oats and glitter path will guide them on their way
And you'll wake up to Santa's gifts next morn on Christmas Day!
Or:
T'was the night before Christmas and all through the night
The reindeer were searching when they saw the light.
A glance at your house brought them a treat.
They hollered and shouted, 'Now we can eat!'
On Christmas Eve, sprinkle this bag on your lawn
To bring Santa's reindeer there before dawn.
My kids still put reindeer food out on Christmas Eve and they are 21 and 15! (probably because I want to!) We all need a little magic in our lives! If nothing else you will have some squirrels hyped up on sugar!
