In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Buy the meat, and select the ingredients that you are going to use to make your sausage. You don't have to follow the recipe exactly. You can choose the spices that you like and eliminate the ones that you don't care for as much. Get creative and blend your own spice mix. If you want to make your sausage from scratch, especially if you plan on doing it more than once, it's worth getting a meat grinder. It makes sure that the meat is ground up properly, and it also enables you to grind the sausage to the exact specifications dictated by your recipe. More importantly, it saves time. Some standard mixers come with a meat grinder attachment, which works very well for making sausage. Get a grinder with both coarse and fine settings since different recipes call for different meat textures. If you would prefer not to grind your own meat, you can ask the butcher to grind it for you. This is another vital piece of equipment if you plan on making sausage more than once. Stuffing sausage into pork casings greatly improves the taste of your sausage because it allows the flavors to mix and marinate with each other. This doesn't happen as much when the meat isn't in a casing. You can stuff sausages by hand if you're an expert stuffer -- which you're probably not. So, most likely, the results won't be as good. Some meat grinders come with a sausage stuffing apparatus. If you prefer not to buy a sausage stuffer, you can make loose sausage meat by forming it into patties instead. The most common casings are made from salted pork intestines. They are available at many butcher shops as well as online, and they are most commonly sold by the foot. Fifteen feet (4.6 m) of pork casings, for instance, is roughly equivalent to 1 pound. If you prefer not to use the traditional casings made of pork, synthetic casings made from collagen are available as well. You also can use blanched savoy cabbage leaves as casings if you want to avoid using pork. Before you get started, clear out your freezer to make room for the meat, fat, and all of the equipment you'll be using, including the bowls. It's very important to keep everything cold while you're making sausage. If the fat starts to get soft, it won't properly emulsify with the meat. That means when it comes time to cook the sausage, the fat will separate from the meat instead of cooking with it. In other words, the sausage will be ruined. Keeping everything cold prevents this from happening. Freeze the meat and fat solid before you get to work. This way when you're working, it will still remain cool even as it thaws. Place the equipment in the freezer for a couple of hours before you start making sausage. When you're ready to start, check to make sure everything is cold enough. The ingredients and equipment should be so cold that it's uncomfortable to work with them. If your meat and materials start to warm up during the sausage-making process, periodically put them back in the freezer to cool down. Then, take them out when they're cool enough to work with again.
Summary: Gather your ingredients. Get a meat grinder. Buy a sausage stuffer. Choose casings for your sausages. Chill the meat and sausage-making equipment.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: This recipe is great for making washable sidewalk paint. It is not recommended for furniture or DIY chalkboards. If you can't find cornstarch, look for cornflour instead (but not cornmeal). You will need a little less than cup (60 milliliters) of water. Stir the two together with a whisk until the cornstarch dissolves. Do not over-mix, however, or the cornstarch will start to turn solid. If you can drizzle the cornstarch water from your whisk, you're ready for the next step. You can use either the liquid kind or the gel kind. You can also use liquid watercolor instead. How much you add is completely up to you. The more you add, the darker, deeper the color will be. Start with a few drops, and see how you like it. Dip a paintbrush into the paint, then paint designs onto your sidewalk or driveway. Let it dry and admire your work. When you are done, simply wash it away with water. Although this paint is washable, it can stain light surfaces. Be careful!
Summary:
Place 6 tablespoons (45 grams) of cornstarch into a bowl. Slowly stir in some cold water into the cornstarch. Stir in some food coloring. Use the paint.
