Further culinary discoveries
When I ask my mother for a recipe, she always responds "What, you want to make a foo? Are you crazy? Do you know how much work that is? Here, let me give you the recipe for a bar, it's much simpler." Then after a great deal of coaxing I convince her to give me the foo recipe anyway, and it never fails to be substantially easier than I had been led to believe.

Well, this rolada was no exception. Having just made the second (production) version, I've come to the conclusion that it's actually not a very hard cake to make at all, it just got an unnecessarily bad reputation. In fact it's kinda fun to make, and fairly straightforward.

And very good. :9

Rolada 2.0, now with certain of the bugs fixed, is presently beginning its two-day refrigeration. Woohoo!

Update: Since people are linking to this post, I'm moving the friends-only part (the part that really shouldn't be discussed in public yet) to a separate post. The "this just in" part is probably of sufficient public interest that it should be transmitted broadly; there's a potential for trouble today, but several factors (including those described in the locked post) may mean that there are surprises in store for both sides today. For those of you not on the locked list, this is the end of a post on various political developments of the past few weeks.
