I’m not following.
Yehudis and Judy are good friends. They help each other out often. They have long conversations. One day Judy says, “Would you like to join me for cheesecake and a latte at the new cafe?” Yehudis says, “Sorry, I’d love to join you for a latte sometime, but the new cafe does not serve chalav Yisrael and my husband and I have taken this new chumra on ourselves.” A while later Judy says, “Yehudis, my husband and I would love to invite your family for Kiddush on Shavuos. I will be preparing only chalav Yisrael dishes for your enjoyment.”
So what’s the problem?

But that’s not why I’m here.
I’m here because I stopped in and saw this word in your post Zdad:
Hashgafa
I’m sure it’s an innocent typo that snuck in.
In case not, the word is hashKafa, with a kooff as in kugel and Kiddush (and not a gimmel as in hashGacha).
It’s from a lashon of looking. It means outlook (or weltanschauung, if you’re a chassid of Rav Shamshon R”H ZTZ”L) and there are many examples in Tanach (“Va’yashkef…”).

(Now if the Mods had activated the feature we suggested a while back allowing us to edit each other’s posts, I could have solved the problem with a simple click of the mouse!)
