Miriam’s Advice Well
Philacatessen A reader asks Miriam whether she should send a gift to a friend who
invited her to virtually join her family for a night of candle lighting.

The reader notes that if she had attended in person, she would have
brought a small gift. Miriam responds that it’s a good idea to send
thanks, such as a handwritten card or even an online donation to
a local charity. For details, read Miriam’s Advice Well online. From
dating to parenting, Miriam welcomes all questions. Email yours to
news@jewishexponent.com and put “Advice Well Question” in the
subject line.

Cranberry sauce perplexes food columnist Keri White a bit
because she can’t think of too many uses for it other than
the Thanksgiving meal. But she found a unique recipe for
cranberry cake that doesn’t use any leavening, instead relying
on the beating of the eggs to help it rise. The cake is not overly
sweet, so it could work for dessert or with coffee and tea.

Read Philacatessen, her online blog, for the recipe. And check
Philacatessen regularly for content not normally found in the
printed edition, including other recipes, gift ideas, restaurant
reviews and food news from around the Delaware Valley.
