Time To Grind

Hamburger, for the most part, is funky here.  It's got a sticky, gelatinous texture and a funny taste.  Regular, unground beef is fine.  So, what to do?  Get an attachment for the KitchenAid to grind my own.  Going to be something new for me to do.  Oh, and a new whisk, since mine is falling apart.  Of course, more things I cannot use until we get our stuff.

After this bit of stitching I've decided to focus on individual trees from left to right.  We'll see how that goes.  On a bright note, I stitched a couple of stitches on the bottom row...
