OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 724th 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:

This weekend I decided to prepare these delicious tortillas covered in butter and served with lettuce, tomato, Polish sausage (I love them), grated cheese and a little tomato sauce.

They were too delicious and today I want to share with you the recipe so you can prepare them at home.

Yesterday I cooked my first pizza to share at lunch with my family, when I say this is because it is the first one that is officially delicious and although my mom and sister are excellent working the dough I am not so much, I made several attempts to finally share with you today this delicious homemade pizza made from the dough to its tomato sauce accompanied with mozzarella cheese, ham, paprika and corn which are my favorite ingredients to combine with cheese.

Now she is about to start her new life project far away from BARINAS, they are moving to Caracas, so Isabella and I now have friends in Caracas. A few days ago was her birthday and I was invited to celebrate it, taking the opportunity to make her farewell, it was an emotional gathering of friends, including the moms of her son Felipe's friends, her group is called the frescolitas hehehehehehehe, it was a very fun meeting like a school reunion but nothing serious jajaja.

A loving greeting to all my friends at Hive, today I am delighted to participate in the Initiative: Inspired by the Elements of Nature (Water, Air, Earth, Fire). Week#6/GlowUpArt. It is the first time I participate in this initiative, but I confess it is one of the most enjoyable, I had a lot of fun and I am happy with the results. I am aware that it is a little late, but I still share with you this incredible experience.

Papa Cafe is the most recent wish list that my Mum added. The restaurant serve western food. When we went into the air-conditioned restaurant, no customer inside but many tables been reserved. After taking food order for our dinner, I'm freely taking picture here and there inside the restaurant since no one or customer from other table looking at me.

The beach I visited this Sunday is called "Quetepe Beach", it is located in the state of Sucre-Venezuela 🇻🇪, just 8 minutes away from the city of Cumaná. This beach is beautiful, with clear sand and crystal clear water, the waves are usually very low so it is perfect for my daughter to enjoy the sea safely.

I remember that day when I wanted to learn to play the Venezuelan Cuatro. It was back when I was 9. The truth is my desire extinguished in no time. The teacher was a big reason of that. I wanted to learn to play not singing. But he didn't know how to teach in any other way. Soon, I told my mom I didn't want to go anymore.

In truth, it's a recipe that we made with my mother in the last few days of our stay in the South of France and along with my lack of sunshine - those who have been following me for some time know that I'm particularly sensitive to temperatures and humidity levels ^^ - so I thought it would be nice to make this ratatouille for tomorrow. But instead, I'll start by sharing it with you, it also allows me to revise a bit and review the different steps, even if, let's not lie, it's quite simple !

A career end is a milestone that I reached and closed a chapter as a corporate slave, lol! An officemate asked how I will spend my time by not thinking about numbers. Oh well, I am a hardcore crafter of projects for my home and even made semi precious stone - jewelries, bed quilts and handquilted bags, pillows to sell on Etsy parallel to the time when I was working. It was my way of de-stressing myself from the job. When I was still working, I had more time to attend to my hobbies, although I worked in the office full time with a very stressy job and lots of deadlines to tackle. I do not know how I accomplished those at times when I still had to do the household chores, perhaps it has something to do with age! I was younger then (sigh!).

This past week I was reading articles and watching videos on a variety of these subjects but there was one that I wanted to put into practice. You know most of these "tutorials" are made on days that are beautiful weather, no adverse conditions and so forth when in reality, I know my luck. When disaster strikes it won't just rain, it will pour...often literally.

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.
