Miriam’s Advice Well
Philacatessen Ho ho no? A reader writes that her 4-year-old son has announced
that he wants to be Santa Claus next Halloween, and she’s concerned
about the implications. Miriam notes that the reader shouldn’t
worry — with Halloween 10 months away, the child likely will forget
about the idea in the coming months. And if the child’s interest
doesn’t fade, Santa might be an entertaining costume for the often-
irreverent Purim. 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.

The start of a new year is a time for new beginnings, but if
you want to start fresh, sometimes you have to deal with the
old. That’s what food columnist Keri White did recently when
she made a soup that took advantage of various food items in
her refrigerator and pantry. She says the beauty of the soup
is that just about anything you have on hand can be used.
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.
