JEWISHEXPONENT.COM Miriam’s Advice Well
MIRIAM | CAN SUKKOT BE
CELEBRATED SAFELY?
A reader asks Miriam for advice on
hosting guests during Sukkot, noting
that it should be a good holiday for
hosting because it occurs outside.
Miriam points out that the safest thing
to do during the pandemic would be to not host at all. Yet for those
who do want to host, she offers some suggestions, including not
having food. For further 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.

Philacatessen BAKED EGG CUSTARD
Food columnist Keri White had some surplus eggs in her
refrigerator that she needed to use, so she came up with a
simple recipe for baked egg custard that involves throwing the
ingredients into a blender, then dumping the mixture onto a
pie plate. The recipe is a bit eggy for a dessert, but works well
as a sweet brunch dish. 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.
