OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 1392nd compilation post of OCD's latest curation efforts. It has been known that OCD has been supporting leading niche communities under its Community Incubation Program. However, there are still a lot of other niche communities not supported by OCD. This curation initiative will help in supporting those communities.

This newest curation effort aims to encourage authors to post in appropriate communities even if those communities are not under the incubation program. This will also encourage users to explore more into the different communities in Hive.

OCD curators and community leaders will find posts from other niche communities and recommend them for an upvote. Unlike those communities in the incubation program where curation is focused, this curation initiative is spread out. This will help find undervalued posts from smaller communities that deserve support.

This will highlight both the author and the community where the post is located. This way, smaller niche communities can focus on growing their subscribers and increasing the engagements within their respective communities. A small boost goes a long way.

Speaking of boost, here are the curated posts for this batch:

Reading was never my cup of tea. When I was in college, I only finished reading one novel, the shortest of all novels presented to me, The Little Prince. If not because I had to analyze it, I would have never finished reading one. Well, thanks to my Literature teacher way back then.

Today I don't want to talk to you about my unbalanced pressure jjj you know that I am taking my medications religiously, the doctors say that I must control my stress and that you know is the most difficult part for me because I don't think I am stressed, so I think it is a good idea to talk to you a little about the things that occupy my head today and that could be the cause of some tension.

I'm so grateful to be able to be here as when they did a ticket giveaway on the Telegram channel, I was able to get two general admission tickets for my mom and I, and I said this is a sign, I have to go and see all my Hive friends who would be going, I got even more excited, the people I've interacted with on Hive, on Telegram and on Discord I want to meet them in person! 🤩

Sometimes it is different prices or just what they have in combo 2x1. It takes a little more, but it’s a matter of taste. I usually go to the local ones because they have outlets or they have for dollar exchanges.

Hello friends of this beautiful community, today I bring you a recipe that more than one of you will like and that you will find healthy and creative to make at home and it is about how to make homemade oatmeal and chocolate cereal.

Buying cereal is not only expensive (in my case because I am from Venezuela), you are giving your body a product that is full of chemicals and preservatives that are not healthy, so what better way to eat cereal than one that you create yourself.

Hello! Greetings to everyone in this delicious community #foodiesbeehive . Today I bring you a recipe for alfajores with arequipe. I tried this sweet for the first time here in Venezuela and I was fascinated. I had to stop buying them, not because of their cost, but because they started to make me allergic. This was because they were not fresh from the day, since my body does not tolerate eating food from another day. After years without trying them, today I got my hands on this recipe given to me by the wife of the air conditioning mechanic, so I got to work. Below, I will show you the ingredients I used and the step by step of how I made this delicious sweet.

This happened when my other group of outdoor friends, together with @iamcjestrada, decided to camp at Bacalla Woods Campsite, a camping site in San Fernando, Cebu.

This campsite was a trending place before because of its swing. Haha. We decided to check the place out and have camping there. We met up at Cebu South Bus terminal and hopped on a bus that would pass through San Fernando.

With some variations in the fruits used, since mine was made with kiwis and grapes and the one I prepared was made with strawberries and a commercial fruit salad, I can say that it was equally delicious and refreshing.

This is one of the properties that I value in this cake, we can use the fruits that we like the most and that fit our budget. Another important aspect to highlight is its easy preparation. Without further ado, here are the ingredients and the procedure.

Sometimes we start a project in the kitchen putting our best energy to achieve an optimal result in that recipe that we want to enjoy, there are times that our best intention is left aside, or the mixtures that we believe will make a success fail us or are not ideal for what we want.

Cooking is like that, trial and error...it happens to most of us. In my case I am not so given to elaborate very laborious recipes, I always go for the simple, precisely to achieve the desired result.

But sadly, this skill I was not able to really master. When I was young, I wasn't exposed to the market. I was not trained to do the shopping for supplies. Shopping was for the mom and the older sibling, that was why. And as a result, I am not good at haggling or I won't even try... I am too shy! Lol! There were times when the seller was the one to offer a discount because I never haggle. Lol! I have a tendency to stick to a familiar store and I don't explore so much. When I started to be independent, I even had a hard time identifying quality products and finding them at a more affordable prices. I was too naive and I realized how futile it is to not learn even the most basic life skill.

This concludes this batch's curation report. We would like to congratulate those who are featured and supported. Keep up the good work and continue to explore Hive Communities.
