Pie de manzana y calabaza | Mi relleno de "manzana" especial [ES][EN] by @josecarrerag

That apple pie looks delicious and just looking at it doesn't give away that it has pumpkin as an ingredient, I think that's what caught my eye. It's interesting to know that the pumpkin doesn't add its flavour to the apple pie, only filling. I think it's a dessert that my mother would love, especially with the apple cider that she loves. It seems to have a smooth texture and in the mouth it would be a delicacy. I usually make apple pies or puddings but not like this and I think it looks great.
The other detail you mentioned is that it is eaten with ice cream, although on this occasion they didn't get to be together. But that combination is something I have to try. My question is what ice cream is best for this recipe. I loved the preparation, the ingredients are easy to get and best of all the magistras presentation that you always have.

You Will Find a Way by @darmst5339

After setting #MyHiveGoals for multiple years in a row, this is the first time I haven't created my goals for 2026. Yet! I have some ideas in mind, but I still haven't put them down on paper, which is a must.
For me, doing them is like creating a "priority list", and making that pin on the map where my final destination for the year... The road and journey aren't calculated yet, but the final goal is... It helps with keeping the focus, and doing occasional recaps makes us accountable...
I saw comments where people shared how they don't do goal as they don't want to put additional stress on themselves... While that can be a valid excuse, we shouldn't view goals as pressure, but more like a motivation... By doing it like that, the Universe will help you out, and in the end, You will find a way!

Why did you take a photo of that? by @bozz

I do believe you that you had many more in the past... I still have ticks in my head remembering my father asking for a "WORKING" pen in the house... 😂 We had like 40-50 pens, and maybe 1-2 were operational, but you couldn't know which one until you tried all... lol...
Maybe you don't have a huge collection, but you have some really cool pieces there... MiPiano had a wrong guess about my favorite one... hehehehe... I do like the yellow one, which is a multi-use pen, I still like the blue LED-glowing more... It looks so cool! 😍

8 Years on the Blockchain. The ups and downs and what it has taught me. by @zakludick

Happy 8th anniversary, Zak!
When you have dedicated 8 years to something, there have to be ups and downs... It's not a day at the beach, it's 8 YEARS! I suppose everyone has bumps on the road, some financial, some motivational, etc., but the most important of all is to continue building and growing!
One day you help HIVE, someone on this network, the other day HIVE helps you to get out from financial issues, or some Hivian helps you to get back on your feet... That's the biggest beauty of this place! I love it!

Toast to the Forgotten (A Poem) | nftshowroom X alienarthive challenge for January: Theme: "memories" - No 2 by @justclickindiva

The journey to the past, to memories, is often not clear, either because time has passed or because our own mind protects us from many things and sensations that we may feel, some of which may not be pleasant, such as abandonment. But something can awaken those memories, like the scent of a flower, nature that opens minds and hearts and even a glass of wine as mentioned in your poem which by the way is beautiful. Those little details can create a journey into the past, ancestors and relive that life, feelings and much more. Going back home, to that home of the past can be one of the most beautiful things.
The pink tones of your design indicate to me love, tranquility, peace, feelings that flow from the heart, very beautiful. The artwork transmits me a lot of calm and very positive energy. I loved it.

His & Hers | Mini Serie Review by @jcrodriguez

If you recommend watching the miniseries because of the main characters, I'm sure it will be good, if only for entertainment. Police and crime series and films are among my favourites, as well as mysteries, something to be solved and it seems that this time many can be suspects and there are always lies involved. I like this kind of productions, because I myself like to unravel the mystery and find out the murderer before they say it there in the series.
It's true that Netflix productions all seem the same, some are very good and others are better left aside, but I think this one can be good to watch without much to think about and pass the time.
