OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 1459th 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:

I literallly knew nothing about Lesotho before I drove over the border. There is a different currency than in South Africa, even though they have a 1 to 1rate for it and you can use the South African rands anywhere in Lesotho as well. Also that the country is entirely landlocked by South Africa and the nickname is 'Kingdom of the Sky' because of the many mountains that the country has.

It almost seems like back in the days Lesotho was just too hard to reach because of the rugged mountains, and that SA said...'hey you know what...this stuff is too high and too much of a hassle in that harsh mountain climate...make your own country and good luck with that'

After opening my first Pokémon card pack of Scarlet & Violet a few months ago, respectively, I think I liked the idea of opening them. So, when I was at the Comic Con, I couldn't resist and bought some.

So, I ended up with a Trick Or Trade pack, which is Halloween-themed, and it comes with 3 cards, costing approximately 1.5 U$D. They have a pretty nice mark on the card.

As you can see I did these vegan pancakes with spelt flour, coconut flour, xylit, some extra almond slivers, chia seeds and some vegan egg substitute, plus baking powder and a little bit of vanilla sugar...

When I saw this prompt I knew it had something to do with me, although I love to give most times I fight with my spirit if I should give out one item or not, it may be my favorite item but I may not have been using it for long.

This reminds me of my favorite bicycle that I donated to the orphanage, it was on Monday Evening when my friend called me and asked me if we needed to visit the orphanage, At that period I was so broke that I couldn't afford any items in the market but I had to improvise.

It was such a beautiful day walking around the town of Niagara on the Lake. This is the first time I have seen an entire town planted with so many gardens that were meticulously maintained. Today, I will share some of these plants and garden scapes that I saw on my walk around town.

The family warmth, the aroma and taste of some foods, the joy of receiving gifts and all the Christmas traditions, are what evoke this time and invite us to enjoy in communion with our loved ones.

This year as every year for 24 years, we gathered as a family to share and enjoy a delicious dinner, prepared by our favorite chef and dad of this home with the help of all of us, 😁 a delicious menu that included white chicken salad, hallacas, ham bread, a succulent pernil and a delicious black cake, everything was luxurious 🙃.

Traveling doesn't always have to go to the mountains or the beach. Although I'm doing the same thing right now. but when I visited West Sumatra at this time I saw a building which I thought was a Café but it turned out to be an orchid garden which was made like a Café and it turned out that this was their way of marketing their plants to make them look much prettier and neater, and We can also order soft drinks here to accompany us in enjoying this orchid garden which is all neatly arranged on wooden shelves that have been provided. Visitors can also take photos with these beautiful orchids because wooden chairs are also provided here. Not only that, here it has the appearance of a café with tables arranged like a café and on the roof they arrange various types of flowers to thicken the feel of the orchid garden.

The restaurant is called "Carnitazz" in which they offer delicious grilled meat with different contours and grilled chicken. On this particular day they were offering a family combo of Pollo a la Brasa for only 13 $ which included a chicken, a portion of corn rolls, salad, guasacaca and a liter of soda. After reading the menu and reviewing the daily specials, we opted for the Chicken a la Brasa Combo.

This is my first wreath that I made taking into account some instructions from a magazine, then with some vines I made the other three, first I soaked the vines for several days to then make each wreath, because it was a vines of several meters. Every year I add a new ornament. They are more than 20 years old.

See, I knew last week I was going to be in trouble for my English/German pastiche between Winterreise and winterized, because some basso profundos are not the type to let anyone get away without consequences ... if the character in Winterreise wasn't going to get away, then what was I thinking?

"What is this thing you young people are saying, Frau Mathews -- 'explain this to me like I'm five' -- eighty-five, seven years past when I should have to be bothered with the folly of this earth! You are supposed to be attending to your German, and you are down here breaking centuries of both German and English and getting me blown across the entire heavenly choir loft over Win-ter-rei-sed?"

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.
