Ducati Motorcycles was formed in 1953, when the Ducati company split into Ducati Elettronica and Ducati Meccanica SpA. They are well known for their powerful, large L-2 and L-4 engines known as Desmodromic engines. These engines have been used by Ducati for nearly 50 years.

Best Homemade Alfredo Sauce is rich, creamy, and packed with garlic parmesan flavor! This Alfredo Sauce is easy to make and perfect with your favorite pasta which I love Buccatini noodles myself. In this recipe I'm also adding mushrooms and shrimp as a protein but you don't need any of that. This is sooo delicious that you may never buy jarred Alfredo sauce again. Instructions Get all your ingredients together (in my case I have defrosted shrimp and cut up fresh mushrooms) Then I cooked the shrimp for 2min max then ran under cool water so I could peel them and make sure nothing unpleasant was still on the shrimp I cooked the pasta (note: you never break the pasta in half.. just stick it into boiling water and it should slide on down into the water) Add the butter and cream to a large skillet. Simmer over low heat for 2 minutes. Whisk in the garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper for one minute. Whisk in the parmesan cheese until melted then add mushrooms and let cook for about 30 seconds Now add the shrimp and mix in good so everything is coated Serve immediately. -
Come join the Mitten State Tours on this trail run along centerline trails. Meeting up in Newaygo then running trails. You should assume the trails will be wet and muddy like Michigan springs always have. Guess on length of trail run is 4-5 hours but depends on condition of trail. Hope to see you there.

Squaresville is back at it and helping make 2023 the Year of the Truck! Spring Breakout is back at Cabela's in Lehi on April 29th but this year we are raising money for the non-profit group, Needs Beyond Medicine. This group helps people undergoing cancer treatment keep their utilities, groceries, and transportation needs taken care of. Registration for the show is whatever amount you wish to DONATE. Your donations are going to help someone keep their lights on and food on the table when they can't do it themselves due to cancer. We may be a Squarebody group, but as you know, all pre-2010 trucks are welcome. Food Trucks Music by Rockin' Hot Rods Productions Raffle Table with 100% of the proceeds going to the charity and much more -

Black beans and rice make a great meal that's filling, delicious, and cheap! Great as a side dish or in a burrito bowl. Top this dirt-cheap meal off with a bit of soy sauce to give it some flavor and you could literally feed a family of four a meal for less than $2.50. Instructions Heat oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until onion has softened, about 4 minutes. Stir in rice to coat; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Add vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce to a simmer, and cook until liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Stir in beans, cumin, and cayenne; cook until beans are warmed through. -
What we enjoy about this pasta is how refreshing the lemon gives the pasta. It's fresh and healthy for you. Instructions: Using a vegetable peeler, remove two 2"-long strips of lemon zest. Thinly slice each strip lengthwise into thin strands; set aside for serving. Finely grate remaining zest into a large pot (like a Dutch oven). Cut lemon in half and squeeze out enough juice to yield 2 Tbsp. into a small bowl; set aside. Cook pasta in another large pot of boiling heavily salted water, stirring occasionally, until very al dente (pasta will finish cooking in the sauce). Meanwhile, add cream to pot with lemon zest and cook over medium heat, whisking often, until liquid is just beginning to simmer, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low. Whisk in butter 1 Tbsp. at a time until melted and sauce is creamy and emulsified. Remove from heat. Just before pasta is al dente, scoop out 1½ cups pasta cooking liquid. Add ¾ cup pasta cooking liquid to cream sauce and return to medium heat. Using tongs, transfer spaghetti to pot with sauce (it’s okay if a little water comes along with it). Cook, tossing often and adding Parmesan little by little, until cheese is melted and sauce is creamy, about 3 minutes. If sauce looks tight, add 1–2 Tbsp. pasta cooking liquid. (Cream sauces tighten up very quickly as they cool, so it’s better to lean on the saucier side of things.) Stir in reserved lemon juice; season with more salt, if needed. Divide pasta among bowls. Season with pepper, then top with reserved lemon zest strips -
Sometimes they run out of Salmon and you grab whatever is on sale. This is a spin on Red Snapper because it was on sale. Instructions: Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 400 F. Place the snapper fillets in a baking dish/casserole pan that has been sprayed with a nonstick cooking spray. In a skillet, melt the butter with the garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Creole seasoning blend, pepper, parsley, and chives, if using. Cook over low heat for 2 minutes just to blend flavors. Brush both sides of the fish fillets with the butter and herb mixture. Toss the breadcrumbs with the remaining butter mixture and Parmesan cheese, if using. Spread the breadcrumb mixture over the fillets, adding an equal amount to each. Use your hands to spread it out evenly and press onto the tops of the fillets. Bake in the preheated oven for about 12 minutes, depending on the thickness of the red snapper fillets. The fish will be opaque and flake easily with a fork when done. TIPS If your red snapper fillets still have the skin attached, apply the breadcrumbs to the skinless side (skin-side down). If you don't want to eat the skin, it should separate easily after cooking. To test fish for doneness, insert a fork into the thickest part of a fillet. It should flake easily and look white all the way through. Don't overcook, though, as your fish will get rubbery. Changes to the Recipe Use another mild white fish in the recipe. Tilapia, haddock, pollock, and cod are good choices. Note that you may need to adjust the cooking time depending on the fish and the thickness of the fillets. You can cook a whole snapper this way as well; it may take a little longer, depending on its weight in comparison to what is specified here in this recipe. SUGGESTED SIDES green beans rice -
You know its not always convenient to want salmon. For example, its now winter time in Michigan with snow on the grill and I just don't feel the energy to go out and try and get that BGE all fired up for something as quick to cook as salmon. So, whats the alternative? Cook it in the oven. Instructions Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Cover salmon with a light coat of olive oil Season salmon with salt and pepper. Place salmon, skin side down, on a non-stick baking sheet or in a non-stick pan with an oven-proof handle. Bake until salmon is cooked through, about 12 to 15 minutes -
Aprilia is an Italian motorcycle manufacturer founded immediately after World War II in Noale, Italy, by Alberto Beggio.

Here is something interesting that many don't know about Electric Vehicles. Why do people move to electric vehicles because its not to save money since they cost much much more than internal combustion engines. Its not to save the planet since more than 80% of electricity we use is from coal burning power plants (so actually you are creating more of an issue by increasing the demand of the coal plants). EVEN if you "thought" your power from the wind power plants is what gave you your needed electricity, they are not as "Green" as you think. The blades are not recyclable and they have a landfill with just these damaged blades. Also a diesel generator is used to keep the blades spinning. Also the damage to our planet from mining all the rare materials that are needed to create batteries. Do you think it will be less expensive to run an EV versus an internal combustion engine? FALSE From the Department of Transportation they state it depends on what level charger you get. Level 1 The slowest, Level 1 equipment, provides charging through a common residential 120-volt (120V) AC outlet. Level 1 chargers can take 40-50 hours to charge a battery electric vehicle (BEV) from empty and 5-6 hours to charge a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) from empty. Level 2 Level 2 equipment offers charging through 240V (in residential applications) or 208V (in commercial applications) electrical service, and is common for home, workplace, and public charging. Level 2 chargers can charge a BEV from empty in 4-10 hours and a PHEV from empty in 1-2 hours. Direct Current Fast Charging (DCFC) The fastest speed, direct current fast charging (DCFC) equipment, enables rapid charging along heavy-traffic corridors at installed stations. DCFC equipment can charge a BEV to 80 percent in just 20 minutes to 1 hour. Most PHEVs currently on the market do not work with fast chargers. Differences between the three but you'll need to understand the difference between PHEV and BEV PHEV: Plugin Hybrids, assuming an 8-kWh battery (obviously with plugin hybrid you get the best of both worlds. Internal Combustion for when your battery is dead or you need extra pulling power and electric when just cruising. It's the way all vehicles should be) BEV: Full Electric Only, assuming a 60-kWh battery (not a very smart design. This requires you to have a way to charger your vehicle to go anywhere. Which means a power outage, no charging available... They refuse your subscription to charge, no charging available... The government could refuse your ability to charge your VERY expensive EV. Always required to be near a charge station or at least one in route that is working since not all are working) So based on the time stated above cost to charge will run around: Level 1@home: the cheapest is $624 for 40hours (even though it says it could take up to 50 hours) and with the cheapest rate of .26/min + you have to pay $12.99/month to use the chargers Level 2@home or public: the average using the lowest rate is $109 for 7hours and add the $12.99/month to use the chargers Direct Current Fast Charging (DCFC)@public: not really a lot of cars support this yet so not going to really talk about it until its standard and actually on vehicles.
