Let this day inspire you, now that you know my background a little bit know that I can look back in my past and see how you are in it today and yesterday and going forward. I appreciate you and what you do for the country. Lets break down some doors of the parlor boutiques and make some be a rainmaker with the money we find. You are tigers and a dear young adult reminded me of who I am and what I like. He was getting to know me it was refreshing he wants to be a professional piano player when he grows up. Said the same thing both times I asked him so that's pretty cool to me. Ask a four year old anything and you will get a great response. He held the conversation better than I. I feel honored to be able to speak with him. He talked about going out to eat with his mom and I. This way when you pull the post it will have all three and you can oh that is right its difficult to pull this information to print. That is one thing that is frustrating about wix is you cannot print it
copy and past into word or google sheets. Now I am going to work on the data base from 4pm to 9pm. Lets breakdown the doors of OHIO.

Carbonara is a dinnertime classic, but my version cuts down on the time it takes to make. Loaded with ham, bacon, olives, garlic and Parmesan, it certainly doesn't skimp on flavor. —Carole Martin, Tallahassee, Florida

12 ounces uncooked spaghetti
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons canola oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 cups cubed fully cooked ham
8 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
3/4 cup sliced ripe or pimiento-stuffed olives
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

In a large skillet, heat butter and oil over medium heat; saute garlic 1 minute. Stir in ham and bacon; heat through. Add spaghetti and parsley; toss to combine.

Like my grandmother taught me, I love using fresh, simple ingredients. In this low-cost recipe, creamy ricotta brings out the sweetness of the tomatoes, all on an onion and herb crust. —Debbie Roppolo, San Marcos, Texas
Ingredients

1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
CRUST:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, finely chopped (about 1 cup)
2 teaspoons dried basil
2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1 cup warm water (110° to 115°)

Buy IngredientsPowered by Chicory
Directions
Preheat oven to 250°. In a bowl, toss tomatoes with oil, sugar and salt. Transfer to a greased 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Roast 2 hours or until tomatoes are soft and slightly shriveled.
For crust, in a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook and stir 3-4 minutes or until tender. Stir in herbs. Cool slightly.
In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. In a large bowl, combine sugar, oil, salt, yeast mixture and 1 cup flour; beat on medium speed until smooth. Stir in onion mixture and enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).
Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until almost doubled, about 1-1/2 hours.
Preheat oven to 400°. Grease a 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Punch down dough; roll to fit bottom and 1/2-in. up sides of pan. Cover; let rest 10 minutes. Bake 10-12 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.
In a small bowl, mix ricotta cheese, garlic, salt and Italian seasoning. Spread over crust; top with roasted tomatoes and mozzarella cheese. Bake 12-15 minutes or until crust is golden and cheese is melted.

There is a standing joke among friends that when I'm asked to bring a dish to a party, it always contains bacon. My partner loves bacon-wrapped dates and my grandmother got me hooked on date-nut bread, so I made a sweet and salty combination of these recipes.—Terrie Gammon, Eden Prairie, Minnesota
Ingredients
8 bacon strips, chopped
8 green onions, thinly sliced
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup sour cream
1/4 cup butter, melted
1-1/2 cups shredded Asiago cheese, divided
2/3 cup pitted dates, chopped
Buy IngredientsPowered by Chicory
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°. In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp, stirring occasionally. Remove with a slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Discard drippings, reserving 2 tablespoons in pan.
Add green onions to drippings; cook and stir over medium-high heat until tender, 1-2 minutes. Cool slightly.
In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and cayenne. In another bowl, whisk eggs, sour cream and melted butter until blended. Add to flour mixture; stir just until moistened. Fold in 1 cup cheese, dates, bacon and green onions (batter will be thick).
Transfer to a greased 9x5-in. loaf pan; sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 45-50 minutes. Cool in pan 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack. Serve warm.
