Miriam’s Advice Well
Philacatessen The end of their first Jewish preschool
Chanukah has left a couple with a blizzard
of crafts from their son. One party wants
to throw out the material, while the other
wants to save the decorations for future
holiday celebrations. What should they do? Miriam counsels the
couple to come up with an overarching system to handle an issue
that will recur in the future. See Miriam’s Advice Well online for
details. From dating to parenting, Miriam welcomes all questions.
Email yours to news@jewishexponent.com and put “Advice Well
Question” in the subject line.
jewishexponent.com/2021/12/06/dear-miriam-keepsakes-or-trash/ In case you didn’t get enough pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving, food
columnist Keri White created pumpkin tartlets that are both
simple and tasty. The crust can be broken-up graham crackers
lining a tart pan, while the filling is more “pumpkin-y” and less
custardy than traditional pumpkin pie. Check Philacatessen for
the recipe, and check the blog regularly for content not normally
found in the printed edition, such as other recipes, restaurant
reviews and food news from around the Delaware Valley.
