Merry Christmas, Florida style! It was a typical Christmas day here, sunny, high in the upper 70s, with a nice breeze. I had all the windows open... :-)
Spent some time on the patio, opening prezzies with Rocky, and baked a ham, trying a new recipe for a honey / pineapple / cherry glaze I stole. It was less than successful, as explained in the video, but still amazingly delicious!
I served it with twice baked sweet potatoes, and Brussels Sprouts fresh from the farm and still on the stalk.
I ate too much, and loved every morsel of it.

Hilah Johnson's recipe for my long standing favorite twice baked sweet potatoes:

Nativity scene was hand crafted, one piece at a time, by my mother, over most of her life. It was a Christmas tradition from my earliest memories, and it kept evolving until it nearly consumed a room.
