The Season is Here
You may have been given some Venison this year by a friend who was fortunate enough to have harvested a deer. Venison, a/k/a deer meat, may or may not be the most popular game meat, but it is definitely the most abused.
I can’t tell you how many people I have served venison to who have had to overcome some prior bad experience with it. “Ew, it’s so tough. It tastes like liver.” Yes, if you overcook it and handle the meat poorly when you kill the animal it will be poor fare at the table.
Nevertheless, any deer, elk, caribou, etc. can be made into great table fare, if you know what to do with it. Below are some great venison recipes, grouped by style of cooking or cut of meat.

If you’re going to be flying American Airlines during Christmas week, you may be in Trouble:
A potential travel disaster is waiting to happen and could wreck havoc for thousands of flyers during the Holiday. A possible travel nightmare was caused by a computer glitch for American Airlines that could cause many to miss the holidays with their family and loved ones.

In an attempt to erode the power of Tibet's Dalai Lama, China has banned Buddhist monks from reincarnating without government permission.
