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...

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?

My brother-in-law was a lay minister, so when his sister wanted a small, casual wedding, she asked him to officiate. He had never performed a marriage ceremony before, so he decided to ask his pastor for advice.
"My sister has asked me to marry her," he began, "and I'm not sure what to do."
The minister answered, "Try telling her you just want to be friends."

A few hundred years later St. John Chrysostom expanded on that:
For men of understanding do not say that the sword is to blame for murder, nor wine for drunkenness, nor strength for outrage, nor courage for foolhardiness, but they lay the blame on those who make an improper use of the gifts which have been bestowed upon them by God, and punish them accordingly.

I've heard the snakes weren't reptiles, but druid priests.
That's the usual interpretation of it that I hear.

On the other hand, St Paddy's Day is a religious holiday, not an Irish holiday.
It started as that, true. But in the Americas by the mid or late 1800s it had become mainly a hedonistic display of all things Hibernian, with any religious aspect being a minor sidebar centered on the myth of driving snakes out of Ireland, and the possibly true story of him using a shamrock to try to explain the Trinity to the heathen Irish.
As an aside, the first St. Patrick's Day parade, which I suspect was more of a religious procession than what we consider a parade, was in your neck of the woods, St. Augustin, in the early 1600s. Seems that somehow the Spanish ended up with an Irish priest there.

I believe it's called sarcasm or maybe an argument reductio ad absurdum.

Pour chicken stock into a medium bowl and sprinkle gelatin evenly all over surface, allowing each packet's worth of gelatin to soak up stock before sprinkling next one on (if the gelatin clumps instead of dissolving evenly, you can use a blender to fix it). Set aside.
I don't recall seeing that trick before. Basically, you are making your own demi without all the hassle of making a demi.

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..."
I may still use AP. Hmmmm....maybe make a small batch of each to compare.
