Miriam’s Advice Well
NAME STIRS DISCOMFORT,
RAISES QUESTIONS
A reader is disturbed at a drive-thru
because the server wore a name tag
that appeared to be a slur. She wonders
if there’s a way to handle the situation
gracefully. Miriam notes the name
appears to be a nickname and is not pronounced the same as the
slur, meaning no action might be required. For further details, 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 WATERMELON FOR ROSH HASHANAH!
Given how early the High Holidays occur this year, food
columnist Keri White is all for making use of classic summer
foods that are still in peak season for holiday meals. In this case,
she’s talking about watermelon, which she mixes with lime juice,
salt and cayenne pepper to make a salad that combines four main
taste profiles. Read her online blog, Philacatessen, for details. And
check Philacatessen regularly for content not normally found in
the printed edition, such as other recipes, restaurant reviews and
food news from around the Delaware Valley.
