I really, really crave gujerati sem now. Might have to make some soon. They featured in the first ‘proper’ Indian meal I cooked for the parents as a teenager and were a colossal hit with the Dad. Ma was not so keen.

This is not a particularly rich one, TBH. Never been particularly keen on overly-heavy cakes. Find this version nicely balanced (recipe—actually very simple— available on request!)

But we are off tomorrow to a rally and back on Monday
So we will be fed by a nice hotel where we are greeted by the manager/owner and he spends time in our orifice wanting to see how the rally is going
So no shopping will be done by us this week
We are off next week for another rally
Busy busy times - I love em!

Honey doesn’t go orf. The oldest honey that has been eaten recently was over two thousand years old (it was in a sealed jar in a shipwreck). Fish it back out of the bin, it’s fine.

Did you employ the wisdom of Madhur, Gus? The first adventurous cookery book I acquired was her ‘Indian Cookery’. My book is totally manky, with oil and spice spillage, but I’ll never part with it. In fact, thinking about it, I made her deep fried prawns with cauliflower and potato side dish and tomato and coriander relish yesterday. I’ll make a conscious effort to spurn dear old MJ, tomorrow. Bless her.
That would depend upon the hygienic efforts of those applying the dressings, in this case, maybe?

Unless they rubbed wounds into the honey I don;t see any particular problem?

If they reinserted the spatula (or whatever) after the first smear, I’d not trust that honey at all, Fishers. Deffo one patient use, imo.

Not just 1 patient use, 1 time for 1 patient use, as it comes in small tubes, & once the plastic seal is broken, any left has to be thrown away

Ah, right. Wasteful, I’d call it.

Oh, I see. I had imagined a tub (or tublet) of the manuka. How many single use tubes, Carinthia? Makes sense, anyhoo.

Dad’s foot was dressed with it every day for the first 5 months , Soo , so lots ovvit.
Special dressings too, so he had a suitcase-sized box with him in the Orsepiddle. They could supply the honey, but the dressings were a special order.
I returned sealed, unused & in-date dressings to the District Nurses attached to our Surgery, ostensibly to be used for training purposes, but knowing that they would be given to people who needed them

Indeed I did. Despite my copy of thst book also being somewhat manky, it wandered a few years back, chiz.
Last night’s supper sounds very fine.

The tube honey would be fine,I reckon, as long as the nozzle wasn’t actually dipped into the patient on first use, and the lid replaced tightly.

I have an idea for a gift, now.
No - not tubes of manuka (medical grade).
Off to bed,
Sweet (not manuka-laced dreams) all.

That’s the problem, Gus. There’s no lid to replace . Breaking the seal leaves the tube open,so ‘enuff’ is applied & then it is thrown away
Methinks we need a Drink

If you mean what I think you might, wee Bee, honestly, no: but thank you. And if I have the wrong end of the stick, grab the right one and beat me around the head wivvit forra bit. You may find it highly therapeutic. And the stick can be reused;- )
