A reader admits that she enjoys the
pandemic Shabbat dinners strictly
limited to her family and wonders how
she can say no to Shabbat invites as
society reopens. Miriam’s counsel: “At
the risk of being flippant, just say no!” For further explanation and
thoughts on recalibrating our lives “during this strange time of re-
entry,” read Miriam’s Advice Well. From dating to parenting, Miriam
welcomes all questions. Email yours to news@jewishexponent.com
and put “Advice Well Question” in the subject line.

Philacatessen EPIC ROASTED POTATOES
Food columnist Keri White loves
potatoes in just about every form
and recently discovered what
she calls a perfect version of a
roasted potato. The secret is using
parchment paper, which helps make
the spuds crispy without being fried. Read Philacatessen, her
online blog, for the recipe. And check Philacatessen regularly for
food content not normally found in the printed edition, such as
other recipes, restaurant reviews and food news from around the
Delaware Valley.
