INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Start out by writing down everything you think you might want a couple days before you write your letter to Santa. Come back to your list every so often and reconsider what you wrote. Cross off items that you aren't crazy about, keeping only the ones you really love. Santa gets tons of letters from kids around the globe, so sometimes he isn't able to get a kid everything on their list. That's why it's important that you only include your top items. You should be full to the brim with Christmas spirit when you write your letter to Santa, and there's nothing like a little Christmas music to get the job done! You can play Christmas music on the radio, your phone, or even on a computer. Ask your parents if you need help. You can keep it simple with a plain white piece of paper, or you can go for something a little bolder! Colorful construction paper works well. Whatever paper you pick, make sure to grab a couple pieces in case of mess-ups.  Ask your parents if they have any fun paper you can use. You can also use a premade card, if you want. Talk to your parents to see what they have. You can use a pen or a pencil, but feel free to use crayons, colored pencils, and markers, too. You can even combine different writing tools, like markers and colored pencils, to make a super colorful letter. Make sure that you can write clearly and neatly with whatever writing utensil you pick. Santa needs to be able to read your letter so he can bring you want you want!

SUMMARY: Make a list of the things you want a few days before. Put on some Christmas tunes. Pick your paper. Choose something to write with.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Smocking can be done using any type of fabric, but it works best if you use thin fabric that doesn't have a lot of stretch. Try thin cotton or linen if this is your first time. Choose embroidery floss in a matching or contrasting color. The stitches are meant to be seen to create a pretty dotted pattern.  Smocking gives fabric an elastic quality and makes it more form fitting. You'll need to take this into account when cutting fabric for the pattern you're using. Make it 2 1/2 to 3 times wider than what your pattern calls for. If you'd rather not have visible stitching, choose a regular sewing thread (rather than thick embroidery floss) in the same color as your fabric.

SUMMARY: Choose fabric and thread.

SUMMARY: Put the pork slices in a mixing bowl and toss with the rice wine and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce. Combine 1/4 cup of the chicken broth, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, the cornstarch, sesame oil, oyster sauce, and crushed red pepper in a small bowl. Heat a wok or skillet over high heat. Place the onion and garlic to the pan and cook for about 30 seconds, until softened. Pour the soy sauce and chicken broth mixture into the pan and cook for an additional one minute, or until the sauce has thickened. Return the pork to the pan and sprinkle in the cashews.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You'll need to find the best quality venison available to you.  Like any other meat, venison's final taste and nutritional benefits are highly dependent upon its origin.  If you can't shoot a deer yourself, then ask questions when shopping around among hunters in season. If the only produce available comes from a supermarket, surely go for the organic variety of it. Try to get something of about half an inch thick regardless of the overall size. The marinade is essential when it comes to game. Think about countries or regions of the world when it comes to spices and flavours.  For example, to give it a traditional flair, use about a tablespoon each of shallots, garlic and a very high quality raspberry vinegar together with not-so-cheap olive oil. Cut the shallots and the garlic as small as possible (Brunoise). Put them in a vinaigrette of olive oil and raspberry vinegar, with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Then rub the mixture on the meat. The rubbing in process is not-negotiable! Let the meat 'soak' in the flavours for about an hour and you are ready to go.

SUMMARY:
Shop carefully. Make your marinade. Cover the meat with marinade. Marinade.
