Maggie claims ” I think all of you who write are so creative and good long-range planners, too! I can barely come up with one story . . .) But Maggie is wrong.
A part of the 100 Days: Summer 2009 story project Maggie’s daily offering at Feed the Body, Feed the Soul is an image of usually what becomes that night’s meal. There is a world of story in these pictures.
She sets mood and tone with what looks to be Fiestaware dishes, complementary to the food on the plate and matched to placemats and utensils so color plays a huge part in these compositions. There is balance, an instinct for survival in the planning of each meal as a healthy repast.
There is texture, taste, scent, visual appeal–and maybe it even speaks to us. There are the days when Maggie comes home late and we see the element of time in her day. And humor; for I know John must wait patiently to sit down to his meal as Maggie must first take a picture.

Your cuisine is harder to create, takes longer, and I’m sure is more sustaining and palatable than anything I’ve “served up” so far, Maggie!
