They are usually 13" x 9" x 5-6" high, bu t it depends on the size of the party. They are covered in mayo/crema and topped with chopped nuts and pickled jalepenos. No sweet stuff on them. They are the "meal".

]]> Comment on AARP Insurance Promotion is a Fraud by Greg http://gorbman.com/2011/10/12/aarp-insurance-promotion-is-a-fraud/comment-page-1/#comment-3521 Greg Thu, 03 May 2012 01:58:26 +0000 http://gorbman.com/?p=6527#comment-3521 AARP is not a licenses broker in washington or any other state because they have nothing at all to do with underwriting, selling or producing med shops or Medicare advantage plans. This is all united healthcare an uhc employees... The relationship between the two is very simple, uhc writes AARP a check to put there name on their policies. In fact the association AARP and the company united healthcare are on opposing sides of the fence when it comes to the new healthcare reform. The same is true for car insurance from the Hartford and life insurance through new York life. In fact... With united healthcare you don't have to have any association with AARP whatsoever I get an AARP branded advantage plan or Medicare drug plan because these plans are actually considered part of Medicare and are regulated as such( Medicare part c and d respectively). Medicare supplement, while regulate by the state is private insurance and AARP requires a membership for AARP uhc supplement plans. It's all a cluster$&@! I know, but realize the policies you buy with AARP name on it are regulated and administered by that company. AARP just cashes a big check from each to use their name.

The Mayans published a calendar (a very good astronomical one) that ended on the solstice in 2012. I bought a calender last year that ended on Dec 31, 2011 but i never worried that the world might end on that day. Magnetic poles have been shifting since the planet was formed. Recently airports across the world were rushing to change the designations of runways because the magnetic poles had drifted. I believe that God (or whatever) built us a universe big enough for humanity, both in time and space. I wish i could live to see us explore it, but i would like a new body. Oh yeah, the moon is a babelfish. Hmm, on Dec 22 2012 I’ll be in Boulder enjoying the cold, the snow, and the altitude.

Never had the pinneaple version. What an adaptable dish! You could try making one with just a bit of wierd additions, like the usual strawberry jame.

I had never heard of sandwichon in my life until I moved to South Texas, where my mother-in-law would make it for social occasions. She is from northern Mexico . Her version is finely shredded chicken salad, crushed pineapple, dulce de leche and cream cheese mixed with mayonaisse for "icing" . I had my first bite at a baby shower because I was handed a plate. I took my first bite. Apparently I must have made some kind of face, because everyone started asking me why I didn't like it. I replied that, I kind of like it ,but have no idea what it is and they all laughed at me because they thought I was joking. I am from a small farm community in the midwest. We never had anything like this that I can remember. I am a self-professed foodie.

There was a report of a green glowing object the size of a whale falling from the sky in Litchfield connecticut and crashing into Bantam lake - reported by two separate people 10 miles apart, one was a police officer! Then there were multiple UFO sightings - as a matter of fact more UFO sightings this year then I have ever remembered. As for weather there was 4 FEET of hail in one texas town this week - 4 FEET of hail? Crazy! And the record setting heat in the USA... And then the ENORMOUS magnitude 8.6 earthquake that struck North Sumatra, Indonesia....and we are just getting started into 2012!!! Mayan doomsday or not this is a wild year!

I've been reading about this for years but, don't even know where to go to buy a ticket. So, is this thing really going to happen? Probably a lack of advertising is one of the problems.
