Who's cooking / baking for the holidays?

My extended family likes Brussels sprouts this way:
Halved, sheet pan, 425 degree oven. Drizzle liberally with olive oil, and less liberally with toasted sesame oil, a good grind of salt and pepper. Roast 10 minutes, stir. Roast 5 minutes, stir. Add Chinese sausage (lap xiong, sliced on the diagonal in 1/4” pieces, number of sausages up to you), drizzle all with oyster sauce. Stir. Roast 5 more minutes. They’re done, tender, some crackly leaves for interest. Delish!

So my sister family visited yesterday and we had beef, new potatoes, roast veg again and leftover goose & gammon
Desert was brought, including a marscapone lemon delice which has a white chocolate biscuit base (top, Waitrose £18) that melts in the mouth as the huge lemon flavour overwhelms; also chocolate snowflakes and macarons.
And of special note, a home-baked blueberry topped lemon cheescake. Gluten free, no vegetable oils, very nice complementary flavours and everyone could eat it.
