Yesterday we went for Shavu'ot dinner at Yorams mothers place. His sister also came with her husband and three kids. A traditional Shavu'ot dinner does not contain any meat products, but instead we had several dairy dishes, as well as a salmon dish, since fish is not really defined as meat. This is not a family that keeps kosher, but they still eat the traditional holiday meals the same way as we eat our specialities for christmas, easter and other highlights on the calendar. Yorams brother-in-law is Moroccan and the food made in this family is a fascinating mix of Ashkenazi, Sephardic and contemporary Israeli cuisine and we all ended up completely stuffed. I think I passed the test and I am now officially part of the family.
Yorams mum has a 1 year old dachshund cross-breed named Choco who is completely crazy and over-energetic. Although the discrepancies, she reminded me of Ichiban and I realised that I miss him a lot. I cannot wait to see him when I get back. This afternoon we are picking Goshen up from the other house, a female Shepherd of whom we have shared custody. Sneakers on and a 5 km power walk in the fields below. Beach '09 here I come!
