According to Toastmaster, Paula, in ” favorite foods”, ” favorite” comes first. What makes a food a favorite is as much the experience around it (who we were with, where we were) as the food itself. In the movies of our lives, there are a lot of food scenes that contain fond memories of love and food: grandma’s stewed pork legs, dad’s ” korean rice” or sweetened milk tea, bubble tea.
Three speakers presented speeches : Hui and Lori delivered their ice breaker speeches titled: ” Two life lessons” and ” Welcome to the new zone” respectively.
