Miriam’s Advice Well
Philacatessen The thrill seems to be gone when it comes
to celebrating, according to one reader,
who can’t bear another Zoom gathering.
What’s a would-be celebrator to do? Miriam
notes that while options may seem limited,
looking for variations upon a theme from
prior quarantine-era celebrations might prove fruitful. 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

Lingcod may come with a confusing name (it’s not a type of cod)
and actually has a taste and texture similar to halibut, but costs
less. That perked up the ears of food columnist Keri White, who
used the fish in a Mediterranean-style dish smothered in sun-
dried tomatoes and olives. Sound promising? 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.
