 English 3, Post 4, "A Meal or Food you really like" - what is it? (describe it)  - how is it made?  - why do you like it so much?  - how does it impact your health?  > word count: 140 words  A food that I really like and that is my favorite food too is the magnificent and splendid sushi. Even more than say "I like it" I would say "I just love it". Sushi is rice rolls, stuffed with chicken, salmon, shrimp, or more. It is wrapped in nori seaweed, also it can be wrapped in avocado, panko, cream cheese, and many more things. Too it can be accompanied with soy sauce and wasabi (I prefer just with soy sauce).

Also, you need a rolling utensil like a mold, then y...

I enjoyed creating characters, stories, and whatever thing that grows in my imagination.

For this reason, there were many options of scientist caree...
