VANILLA SHORTBREAD COOKIES
A reader has watched a once-close friend
from afar as she made a series a decisions
that are hurting her and those around her.
The question is: How much should the
reader reach out to help? Miriam counsels that you can only do so
much to help someone before you have to draw a line, while letting
the friend know you’re there if she wants support. 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.

A more-than-normal amount of vanilla makes food columnist
Keri White’s shortbread cookies rather tasty. She notes that
the cookies are a nice mix of being simple yet sophisticated at
the same time. You also can make the dough and keep it in the
refrigerator for several days or in the freezer for many months.
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.
