BRAZO DE MERCEDES: Recipe Anyone?

Brazo de Mercedes has always been my favorite. But there are only 2 sources of Brazo that I truly appreciate. One is from a friend of Auntie Nancy who sells them homemade, and of course from Vienna Kaffeehaus. Of course, there's Goldilocks to go.. But I find them too sweet sometimes...

I would love to know how to make my own Brazo de Mercedes... The one in the photo is from Cecil's and I don't like the taste of the center. It has a "coconut oil taste" to it which I do not like. Anyhow, if anyone here has a recipe for me to try, do share..

Thanks much..

Let There Be Light

Funny, last night I had to send Carmz off to my father's house to borrow light bulbs for our kitchen lighting. Call it crazy, but where should we buy a light bulb at 10:30 in the evening? I know my dad has extras since he buys by the dozen. So I asked for one. My father has always been generous and kind. hehehe...

Anyway, what good is a kitchen lighting fixture if its bulb is no longer working? So when Carmz arrived armed with the expected light bulb, all we have to say is "let there be light" and there was light...
