NOTE ON WHAT the proposal is LEANING TOward

Summary:

Bread is a must in a diet, a reliable and affordable source of carbohydrates. It is easily prepared; all ages enjoy it$.$ Even with this high popularity with the general population and this baked product, baker shops are quite a few even with the high demand and healthy business it experiences. This product is mostly associated with breakfast and lunch and being popular around Christmas with pepper pot and bread being an extremely popular dish in the Caribbean. A sandwich made of bread and your referred ingredients paired with a hot homemade tea leaves you $$content$.$ Ice cream is loved by many, if your body allows ice$-$cream intake, it would be a safe conclusion that you are an ice$-$cream fan. Ice$-$cream shops skyrocket in sales especially during the extremely hot days we$$ve grown to know in the Caribbean. Frozen treats keep you $$cool$$ on the hot sunny days.
