Miriam’s Advice Well
Philacatessen Prior to this week’s presidential inauguration, a reader asked Miriam
if she should allow her elementary school-aged daughter to stay
home to watch the event. Miriam has mixed feelings and said if the
child has specifically asked to watch, then allow her to do so. But
otherwise, the child should go to school, considering the disruption
of the past 10 months; she added that mother-daughter could watch
the event later in the day. For details, read Miriam’s Advice Well
online. From dating to parenting, Miriam welcomes all questions.

Food columnist Keri White switches gears and cooks up a
batch of boilo, a traditional winter drink in Pennsylvania’s
coal region that has its roots in Lithuania. The citrusy drink is
traditionally mixed with moonshine, whiskey or grain alcohol,
but you can customize it as you see fit — or keep it nonalcoholic.
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.
