OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 396th 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:

Kefir... I was just a child when my grandmother took me on vacation to a friend's farm and it was there when I observed the ritual of straining kefir for the first time, the lady of the house, after sweetening it, prepared delicious ice creams. I never went back to that place again... but that pleasant taste was impregnated in my memory forever.

Hello, everyone. I wandered about my garden today and shot some images on my phone. We have just endured a three-week drought. I was desperately watering everything, but some damage was done. Fortunately the last few days have been gentle rain.

Sometimes, life is funny.

Actually, let me rephrase that. Life is constantly trying to be funny, when in fact, it has the worst humor ever. Where's the joke? Help me look for it. There really is nothing to laugh about.

Welcome to my fridge. Or rather, my benchtop where I have placed items from my fridge. 😄 Today's entertaining post comes from inside my home where I am currently living out isolation from the rest of the world due to my partner catching COVID-19. This sounds awful but really, it's totally fine. We are very fortunate in that we have a big home, a big yard, a pool, an almost endless supply of drinking water, electricity and internet. And we have each other.

The objective was to give a lot of color to this dish so, in addition to the above mentioned ingredients, I used white and purple onion; the combination of these vegetables gave an excellent flavor and the chili that I bought as sweet chili came out spicy, which was very appropriate because it adds that special spicy touch to the rice.

Around February 1st, one of my aunts and I were chatting. She told me about their plan of coming over for my mama's birthday. The past months has been crazy and she knows that I still haven't really gone back to my regular work schedule, so I don't really have the means at the moment and told me she'd take care of everything. It's her way of thanking us for being there for them through ups and downs.

This time I wanted to join the challenge #69 and yesterday I took the pictures of my fridge and my closet as it was. Then I thought about tidying up the fridge a bit but then I thought who cares, let them know me as I am!

Phew, time flies. We have now gotten back to KL after a blissful time with the family celebrating the Chinese New Year. CNY lasts 15 days and today is already the 7th day, it is also known as the Humans Day (人日), so today is everybody's birthday! Still, can't have our holidays forever so...

This is a folklore that has been passed from generation to generation in West Sumatra. There is a stone that resembles a boat and a man who prostrates. The stone is located in Pantai Air Manis beach West Sumatra. The stone existed like a boat. Then, the government of West Sumatra asked a sculpture artist to make a man who is prostrating.

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.
