One for the math fans …
There were three kingdoms, each bordering on the same lake. For centuries these kingdoms had fought over an island in the middle of that lake. One day, they decided to have it out, once and for all.
The first kingdom was quite rich, and sent an army of 25 knights, each with three squires. The night before the battle, the knights jousted and cavorted as their squires polished armor, cooked food, and sharpened weapons.
The second kingdom was not so wealthy, and sent only 10 knights, each with two squires. The night before the battle, the knights cavorted and sharpened their weapons as the squires polished armor and prepared dinner.
The third kingdom was very poor, and only sent one elderly knght with his sole squire. The night before the battle, the knight sharpened his weapon while the squire, using a noosed rope, slung a pot high over the fire to cook while he prepared the knight’s armor.
The next day the battle began. All the knights of the first two kingdoms had cavorted a bit too much (one should never cavort while sharpening weapons and jousting) and could not fight. The squire of the third kingdom could not rouse the elderly knight in time for combat. So, in the absence of the knights, the squires fought.
The battle raged well into the late hours but, when the dust finally settled, a solitary figure limped from the carnage. The lone squire from the third kingdom dragged himself away, beaten, bloodied, but victorious. And it just goes to prove, the squire of the high pot and noose is equal to the sum of the squires of the other two sides.

Mayo-pesto sauce
i like pesto, often make it myself. I end up with far more than I can use. Yes, I know I can freeze it. Anyway, I figured I’d try a variation.
this recipe uses a mix of mayonnaise, pesto, mustard, and lemon juice in the ratio of 8:4:2:1, mix, let flavors marry overnight in the fridge, use. I’d use it on some pastas, roasted potatoes, other places that I’d dress with pesto.
I’ve made Mayo, pesto, and mustard but for this I’m using everything store bought.
That would be killer on a roast beef or roast pork sandwich.

Shipwreck casserole
I didn’t make this but thought the name alone made it saloon worthy.
- Ground beef: Start with a pound of lean ground beef. You can also use ground turkey.
- Macaroni and cheese mix: Stir a package of macaroni and cheese mix into the ground meat.
- Canned tomatoes: You’ll need a can of diced tomatoes.
- Milk: A cup of milk helps create a rich and creamy sauce.
- Frozen vegetables: A combination of frozen peas and frozen corn adds color and flavor.
- Salt: Seasoned salt enhances the overall flavor of the easy dish.
- Cheese: Shredded Cheddar cheese helps bring the whole thing together.
- Cook the beef until brown and crumbly.
- Stir in the mix, tomatoes, milk, and frozen vegetables.
- Bring to a boil, then simmer until the pasta is tender.
- Season and add the cheese.
I take it that this is a stovetop Casserole since it doesn't mention baking.

80 million that they know of ???
A few years ago both Pew Research and Gallup released survey results that estimated that about 43% of all households in the US had at least one firearm. Extrapolating from US Census numbers that means around 134,000,000 people have ready access to firearms. Also, about 40% of those households had at least one firearm that wasn't in a safe or other secured place.
This, in my opinion, shows how rare accidental/negligent shootings are, and what a tiny portion of 1% of gun owners, much less the overall population, misuse firearms in the commission of crimes.

And that's how he went from traffic control, to outer space.
He just got a taste for flying.
I didn't think he was that old.

Nice looking pan. How long have you had it?

I saw what you translated))) and I thought where it said “use pastry flour” I thought it was because the translation program did not really know the differences among flours. Nobody that I’ve ever seen uses yeast with pastry flour.
Yeah, very odd. But consider that chemical leavening has only been around for less than 200 years. That means yeast, probably in the form of barm, was used before that.
"As with cakes, we use pastry flour..."
- făina - ca și la cozonaci, folosim făină de patiserie, tip 000, de bună calitate.
I may still use AP. Hmmmm....maybe make a small batch of each to compare.

What I remember (?!?!?) of 000 flour is that it’s used in pastas and is hard to work. I don’t see 000 on line, 00 and 0000 but no 000. I’d use AP, not pastry flour.
Thanks. I found the answer in the blog just now. When I first found it I did my usual jump to the receipt, not bothering with the 7 pages of front matter. This morning I ran it through a translation program and read all of it and found
"use pastry flour, type 000, of good quality."
I might still use AP because similar receipts just say "flour. "

I have a question about flour. I was looking at Eastern European breads for Pascha and came across a Romanian one that looks interesting. If kulich and cheese pascha got married and had a pastry...
https://bucate-aromate.ro/2022/04/pascute-cu-branza-dulce/#recipe
pastry dough
500 g flour type 000
100 g of sugar
50 g butter 82% fat (melted and cooled)
7 g instant dry yeast (or 25 g fresh yeast)
220 ml milk 3.5% fat
2 egg yolks
5 g of salt
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
Do you know, would 000 flour be like what we call cake or pastry flour? Maybe a mix of AP and Pastry flour? Or just ignore it and use good old AP flour?
