What are sausage skins made of?

Natural skins are made of the intestines of pigs, sheep or cow's intestines. The natural skins are semi permeable and allow the sausage to 'breath' during cooking - letting some fat out and keeping the juices in.

How do I cook my sausage?

The Savory Pantry: Frequently Asked Questions
Your sausage is packaged in bulk, and each 1 1/2 pound package will make about six large patties. We suggest rolling them in the palm of your hand, and then patting them out on your grill or skillet with a spatula. You may want to use a weight as they cook if you like them thin and crispy like we do!

Do you Supply Rolls?

Vacuum Food Sealer FAQs
Yes, we supply two sizes of roll: 20 x 600 cm (approximately 7.9 x 236.2 inches) and 30 x 600 cm (approximately 11.8 x 236.2 inches). These can be cut to the right length, sealed at the bottom using one of our vacuum sealers and then vacuum pumped before sealing at the top end.

For example, a 2 to 2.5 Kg (3 to 4 lb) chicken will comfortably fit into a 30 x 40 cm bag.

What is an Aileron Rolls?

Aerial Acrobatics FAQs - WikiFAQ - Answers to Frequently Ask...
During an aileron roll, the airplane rotates 360 degrees around its longitudinal axis while the nose remains pointed at a specific reference straight ahead. In other words, the airplane "twirls" around a line drawn from the tip of the nose to the tail, as if you held your outstretched arm straight and rotated your wrist and elbow. Throughout this maneuver, look straight ahead at a cloud, mountain peak, or other reference that I point out.

Who rolls first?

FAQ for the board game Risk
The old U.K. rules are quite clear that the attacker rolls the dice first, then the defender rolls. Though it isn't explicit, this suggests that the defender can choose how many to roll based on the attacker's dice, since this would seem to be the only point of rolling later. This sometimes causes the defender to use only 1 die when he was entitled to use 2. If faced by 2 sixes you only roll 1, whereas faced with the second highest being a one you roll 2.

I don't live in the DC area. Is it still worthwhile to belong to the Washington Map Society?

Frequently Asked Questions about membership in the Washingto...
We have a remarkable number of members - nearly half - who live outside greater Washington area. A few live in distant parts of Maryland or Virginia, but most are in about 35 other states. Over two dozen are outside the United States. Thus a substantial portion of our members find it worthwhile to belong despite their distance from DC. The quality and scope of The Portolan is undoubtedly instrumental to this. There are, however, more intangible but compelling reasons to belong.
