We always have oyster stew on Christmas Eve. It is our Christmas tradition. Serve with garlic toasts or oyster crackers. You may also add crispy bacon or potato to this stew.

Oyster Stew

Ingredients:

two (12 oz.) fresh oysters, shucked and cleaned
1 quart (or more if you desire) half-and-half
1/2 cup butter
1 cup minced celery
3 TBS sweet onion, minced
salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

Melt butter in a skillet and sauté celery and onion until tender. Pour half-and-half into a dutch oven and add the butter, celery and onion mixture. Stir until almost to a boil and add the cleaned oysters.

Oysters are cooked with the ends curl. Turn off the heat and it's ready to be served.

Wine Suggestion:

California Chardonnay

Winchester Waterfowl Loads

Winchester has been at the forefront of developing high-tech, lead-alternative loads for waterfowl hunters since the non-lead mandate of the late 1980s. That innovation continues today with the company's Blind Side 2 shotshells featuring uniquely shaped Hex Steel Shot, along with its Bismuth loads that have a special buffer to protect the pellets and provide denser patterns. New this year in the Bismuth line is a 3-inch, 28-gauge load with 1 ounce of No. 5 shot at 1,300 fps.

Winchester .400 Legend

Building on the success of the .350 Legend, Winchester releases a new straight-wall rifle cartridge for deer hunters looking for more downrange energy at longer distances. Winchester reports the .400 Legend produces about 25 percent more energy than its little brother, putting it on par with the .450 Bushmaster but with less recoil. The initial .400 Legend loads feature a 190-grain Extreme Point, 215-grain Power Point and subsonic 300-grain Open Tip Range bullet.
