Pay It Forward Week 23

Curie Appreciation Week

As many of you know I often choose my features from a different community each time.
I have also been very active in engagement. I was very surprised a while back when a couple extra Steem appeared in my wallet. Upon investigation I discovered I had won a prize from

@curie. I wasn't even aware there was a contest going at the time.
In case you are wondering

@curie rewards the commenters on all of their curated posts on a weekly basis.
Check it out here
Several of the curated bloggers have expressed how encouraged and inspired they have been to receive the comments.
This week I wanted to pull my features from those top commenters. This is my little show of appreciation to

@curie. Also a bit of exposure to those who have high engagement levels over there, but could use a boost on their own blogs.

The Features

First up is

@drawmeaship giving us easy to follow step by step instructions for a pumpkin soup. I have already decided to give this one a try for some family gatherings this fall.
