She calls herself Zevi sometimes (like Zevi, Yeshaya's male friend).

She's in a bad mood at the moment, I think it was all a bit of a

strain; realising for the first time you have IN LAWS you have to be

nice to, and go and stay with (horror of horrors!!), I remember all my

girls finding that a real shock part of being engaged. I think

Zehava's in laws will be easy going; I remember Sara's in laws

insisting she came to eat with him on her own once a week while Benzy

was in Yeshivah in Israel..and she hated every minute of it!

She also had a bit of a moan about him being too attached to his

mates; I think that's pretty standard stuff tbh; I told her she

could whinge about him and men in general as much as she liked as long

as it was just a whinge! She's very tired and the evening was a strain

for her. I don't think she intends to have real doubts, like Tavya

did. Lordy I hope not, I don't think I could take an engagement like

that again!

I have enough Jewish contacts locally to help out LOL! Both my

Mum and MIL's best friends are Jewish too - so I can always ask

them to get hold of authentic ingredients too.

A lot of supermarkets these days have a kosher section, admittedly

only those in an area where there are likely to be Jews in the local

populace though. If it could be sent through the post I wouldn't mind

packing up a few jars to send out to anyone who wants chrane, but

since the jars are glass it might be a bit risky. Bubble wrap?
