I definitely saw it punkass. Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Christopher Walken. It wasn't too good, but I saw it.

[b-grrrlie]

I think I've eaten flan twice in my life; once in Spain at New Years' dinner back in '83 and then at this restaurant in Sthlm. If I remember right it was pretty good. I don't think with my cooking skills (or the lack of them) I could ever make one myself tho'.

This brings me to my first question.

What's flan?

[like2_drink]

Flan is a Spanish custard and caramel dessert. Yum. I haven't had flan in awhile. Love it!

Okay, for the most part- this is it. And yes...it really does call for that many egg yolks. :eek: So stock up.

The Wacky World of Flan (http://home.comcast.net/~flanatic/)
Recipies and what not can be found here.

Here's one I like .. .. .. not a true flan - but tasty !

INGREDIENTS:
a.. 3/4 cup white sugar
b.. 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
c.. 5 eggs
d.. 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
e.. 1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
f.. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DIRECTIONS:
1.. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2.. In a small, heavy saucepan over medium-low heat, cook sugar, stirring,
until golden. Pour into a 10 inch round baking dish, tilting to coat bottom
and sides. Set aside.
3.. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Beat in eggs, one at
a time, until well incorporated. Beat in condensed and evaporated milk and
vanilla until smooth. Pour into caramel coated pan. Line a roasting pan with
a damp kitchen towel. Place baking dish on towel, inside roasting pan, and
place roasting pan on oven rack. Fill roasting pan with boiling water to
reach halfway up the sides of the baking dish.
4.. Bake in preheated oven 50 to 60 minutes, until center is just set.
Cool one hour on wire rack, then chill in refrigerator 8 hours or overnight.
To unmold, run a knife around edges of pan and invert on a rimmed serving
platter.
