THE proper Christmas dinner was, is , and always will be; Roasted turkey
(without any sordid aberrations of mixtures of *anything* stuffed in its
body cavity), mashed taters, giblet gravy (made from scratch and
containing
none of that smoke-in-the-bottle crap), a pan of cornbread dressing (made
with about a cup of homegrown sage), cranberry sauce (the kind that comes
in
a can and wiggles like Jello), and for dessert a pumpkin pie and that red
Jello dish with all that stringy stuff in it.

If you don't like the traditional Christmas Dinner and want to eat all
that
EYE-talian stuff, go get your own damn holiday and call it All Mobster's
Eve
or Saint Soprano's Day or something.

I'm slow cookin' a venison tenderloin in the crock-pot with potatoes,
carrots, onions (white and yellar), mushrooms, various spices--includin'
bayleaf, garlic, brown sugar, honey, lemon juices, meat soakin' up red wine
marinade even as I type. Is that ok, or do I just toss it and begin again?

Op --no cook, but one hell of an eater--
