I looked up a quick recipe because, yes, I can’t really cook besides the basic stuff I grew up with.

  • 1 lb ground meat
  • 3/4 cup bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup onion finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp rubbed sage
  • 1 tbsp ground thyme
  • 1 tsp black pepper

The things that are crossed out are things that I didn’t have in the kitchen, but I still think they came out alright. After thoroughly hand-mixing the ingredients, I just fried them in a skillet and added it to the Prego spaghetti sauce. Yum!

AshFantastic's Types of Stitches

The tacking stitch is the one I’ve always used when mending or sewing something simple, but since I’m in the process of making a stuffed animal/doll, I wanted to use a stronger stitch, so I learned the backstitch. I really like it so far and hope that it can withstand normal wear and tear for many years to come! The blanket stitch on the other hand looks kind of confusing. Haha! I’ll have to leave that one for another day…
