Create Your Passport Photo From a Photo That You Like

Have you ever wanted to create a passport photo from a photo that you like?  Well, now you can, provided that you meet a few requirements, the main one usually being that the picture be taken against a white wall.

Online Passport Photo Services That We've Found:

1) Epassportphoto.com - you can upload your own photo, provided that it meets the requirements and either print it yourself or send it to a participating Walgreens or Walmart location to be picked up.  The prices vary, but they start at $.99 cents.  When we used this service we uploaded our picture, cropped it and requested that it be sent to a local Walgreens, when we went to pick it up at Walgreens, it had been sent to a local Walmart approximately 1/2 mile away or so away.  We paid approximately $7.99 when we processed our order online and then when we finally got to Walmart to pick up the picture, we were charged another $.60 cents.  When we looked at the picture it was a bit blurry.  Hopefully you'll have better luck.

Here is epassportphotos youtube video.

2) pic4pass.com - Although we've never used this service, this website claims to analyze, evaluate, check sharpness, check the lighting on your picture and more!  We like this!  This site claims to process your passport photo for $4 dollars.  For this price you get two pictures to download.

Disney Magic's De La Costa Cream Cheese Flan Recipe! Is Your Mouth Watering Yet?

Coming to the re-imagined Disney Magic in October, you'll be treated to a new dining option, Carioca's, which is a restaurant named after Donald Duck's parrot friend in "The Three Caballeros," Jose Carioca.

If you like flan you'll love this recipe!  YUM!  Enjoy!

Recipe

De La Costa Cream Cheese Flan with Pedro Ximenez Reduction Sauce

Caramel Base
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup water

Cream Cheese Flan
8 ounces cream cheese at room temperature
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup evaporated milk
1/2 cup whole milk at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
5 eggs
2 egg yolks
Pinch coarse salt
Boiling water, for water bath

Pedro Ximenez Reduction
1/2 cup Pedro Ximenez wine (sweet wine)
1/2 cup sugar

Garnish
Sliced bananas
Raspberries

For caramel base:

1. Place a 10-inch round cake pan on top of a folded dishtowel set inside a medium roasting pan. Set aside.
2. Combine sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir until sugar dissolves. Brush sugar crystals from sides of pan with a wet pastry brush.
3. Boil, swirling pan and occasionally brushing down sides of pan with wet pastry brush, until mixture is golden brown, about 5 to 6 minutes.
4. Remove from heat and pour caramel into the bottom of the prepared cake pan. Cool to room temperature.

For cream cheese flan:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Beat cream cheese in an electric mixer fitted with a wire whisk until smooth. Gradually beat in sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and whole milk until smooth, scraping sides and bottom of bowl. Slowly add in eggs and the egg yolks, beating until completely combined. Stir in salt and vanilla extract.
3. Pour mixture over caramel in prepared cake pan set inside the roasting pan. Open oven and place the roasting pan on the center oven rack. Carefully pour boiling water into roasting pan until water reaches halfway up the cake pan.
4. Bake until a knife inserted into the center of the flan comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool in water bath; when cool enough to handle, remove cake pan and cool completely. Refrigerate overnight or at least 6 hours before serving.

For Pedro Ximenez reduction:

1. Combine sugar and Pedro Ximenez in a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer until mixture is reduced by one-third, about 20 to 30 minutes.
2. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature before serving.

Assembly:

1. Run a thin knife around the inside edge of the cake pan to loosen flan. Shake pan gently from side to side until flan moves freely in pan. Invert a large plate over cake pan; holding pan and plate securely together, quickly invert and turn out flan onto plate. (Caramel will pour out over and around flan.)
2. Cut flan into rectangles and top with sliced bananas and raspberries. Drizzle with Pedro Ximenez reduction.
