Soon the prime rib (just a two-bone) will go in, and then I'm going to make Giada's recipe for honey poached pears with some Moscata wine and a vanilla bean.

Yesterday I made a ham and a sweet potato gratin that is not sweet at all and just wonderful. It's the second year I've made this gratin recipe, and it's a keeper. The sliced sweet potatoes are roasted with fresh sage, garlic, and cream.

After the ham, we had this cheesecake, which is divine. It is one of those recipes that look just like the picture when you make it at home.

For the last few years, I've made this Christmas morning, and I'm still in love with it. You can make the compote ahead of time, and it just gets better. I don't think I'll soak the bread overnight again, but it's worked before fine that way.
