I made some awesome stew. Here are a couple pictures of it:

At some point I decided 2012 would be a nice symbolic stopping point for the upcoming new year, but I overshot because I couldn't be bothered to plan it out.
The stew is as home-made as can be. I harvested all the beans myself, grew the crops in my garden, made seeds from the crops, collected some guano occasionally (using eggs I harvested). Nothing was purchased except some starter seeds a million years ago, and a few replacement crops when I accidentally fed everything to the pigs at once. I used a vendor-bought pot for most of it, until I had enough skills to make one myself.
I present it to you as a monument to the all the pointless compulsive behavior that drives much of our actions here.
