Mandala Monday

Over the weekend I made a good meal for my family and created some food I had always wanted to make.  I think being 'creative' with food is just as important an area of creativity and artistry as any other art.  I find a lot of relaxation and comfort in cooking.  So I used my beef stew to create this week's mandala.

And I love the quote I found by Dorothy Gilman.  How true.  We need food to nourish our foods, but we also need dreams to survive.
