We live in a culture where food is considered a national pass time

making its way into becoming the ultimate choice of quality time

dessert, as oppose to a full course meal at a restaurant.

delicious desserts from a variety of people in my life, such as my mother,
grandmother, and my mother in law, and thus, gained a substantial amount of
appreciation for the art of dessert preparation as well as the social benefits of
it.
D: While we also live in an ever growing health conscious society, fruit sushi is
an eye candy and a healthy way for one to satisfy their sweet tooth.
E: Through this speech, I would like to share with you all what are the numerous
benefits of the ingredients in this marvelous dish, how everyone can easily
incorporate it into their lifestyle, and demonstrate how the incredible dessert is
prepared.

i: Then, you lay it flat down with the light side facing up.
ii: You need to flatten it by circling your hand on the dough to make sure
there are no creases nor any air bubbles under the dough.

“thought to have an anti-inflammatory effects that

them particularly effective in helping the body fight infections” (Masci,

and their kin all contain high amounts of cancer-fighting antioxidants.
Strawberries have more vitamin C than oranges and are also high in
fiber. Berries also help strengthen blood vessels” (Masci 2001).
1. As measured in laboratory tests, blueberries were No. 1 on the
5
antioxidant list until pomegranates claimed the top spot a few
years ago”(Martin, 1 ).
.

condensed milk, a few pinches of cinnamon, and the diced walnuts or
almonds, “almonds and many other nuts are high in vitamin E, which
may help prevent heart disease. Almonds also contain high levels of
calcium and magnesium, which help maintain strong bones” as stated
by Masci (Masci,2001).

berries in a spoonful scoop.
