carisma77 — Sat, 24 Oct 2026 22:52:15 GMT

Greetings, dear Foodies community; I hope you’re having a relaxing weekend 😊

Saludos querida comunidad Foodies, espero estén pasando un relajado fin de semana 😊

Apples have become a key ingredient in my dessert-making; I love them because they provide natural sweetness and are incredibly versatile. So, today we’re going to make a cake where the apple takes center stage.

This delicious fruit gives the cake a moist, tender texture. I’ve used a blend of wheat flour and oat flour, but feel free to use whichever flour works best for you.

Beyond the apples—which I absolutely love!—this cake also features a touch of chocolate, thanks to both the cocoa and the extra chocolate used for decoration. We’ll be baking it in the microwave, meaning the cake will be ready in just 5 minutes—how great is that!

La manzana se ha convertido en uno de esos ingredientes muy importantes a la hora de preparar mis postres, me gusta mucho porque aporta dulzura Natural, además suele ser muy versátil a la hora de hacer recetas, así que hoy haremos un pastel en dónde la manzana será nuestra protagonista.
Esta rica fruta hace que la textura de este pastel sea un poco húmeda y muy suave, yo he usado dos tipos de harinas, harina de trigo y harina de avena, puedes usar la harina que más te convenga.
Aparte de la manzana que me encanta 👌🏼este pastel lleva un toque chocolatoso, no solo por el cacao, sino también por el extra de chocolate que usaremos para decorar, está vez cocinaremos en el microondas obteniendo un pastel en solo 5 minutos, eso es estupendo!

Now, without further ado, let’s make this cake together! 😉

Ahora sin más palabras, vamos hagamos este pastel juntos! 😉

Ingredients:
Two red or green apples (approximately 290 grams).
70 grams of flour; I used a blend of 35 grams of oat flour and 35 grams of all-purpose wheat flour.
1 heaping tablespoon of cocoa powder.
2 eggs.
1/4 cup of milk or plant-based milk alternative.
30 grams of sugar.
1 teaspoon of baking powder.
1/4 teaspoon of salt.
For decoration: 50 grams of melted chocolate.
Unsalted peanut pieces, to taste.
mold: 15 cm in diameter.

My little cat loves my feet 🤭 🥰 (ENG-ESP)

carisma77 — Tue, 20 Oct 2026 00:16:27 GMT

Greetings, dear community! 🤗 Here I am, as always, looking for an excuse to write about my little cat, Mitchu. 😊

Is a cat’s obsession with feet a bit strange—or maybe not? I don’t think it’s all that odd; I’ve heard that many cats love to sleep near their owners' feet.

Believe me, I never thought I’d be talking about my own feet, but with Mitchu, anything is possible! I haven’t been the same since she came into my life. 😜

Lately, at the break of dawn, Mitchu climbs onto the bed and snuggles up right by my feet. Back when she was a kitten, she used to purr near my ear, and we’d both fall asleep until morning. But after her first heat, she changed completely—she became very independent—and now she loves being near my feet.

A couple of days ago, she woke me up; I assumed she wanted food, so I put some in her bowl, but she didn’t want it. I went back to bed, but she clearly wanted something else. I got up and lay down on the large sofa in the living room—a spot she really likes. As soon as I lay down, she settled in comfortably and placed her little paws on my feet. She stayed there resting for quite a while—though I couldn’t move at all, hahaha! I didn’t want to disturb her rest or break her concentration; every now and then, she’d glance toward the window—I think there were some little birds fluttering about nearby.

The truth is, I find this gesture from Mitchu super sweet, and I absolutely love sharing it—these lovely moments are like therapy for my life! 💕

I’ll sign off for now; I look forward to sharing more stories and fun facts about my pets—they truly make life so much better! 😊

Thanks for reading and for your support—may the Creator bless you abundantly! 🙏

The photos are my own, taken and edited using my Tecno Spark 20C phone.

Saludos querida comunidad!🤗 aqui estoy buscando como siempre una excusa para escribir sobre mi gatita Mitchu 😊

Suena un poco raro, o tal vez no, la obsesión de un gato por los pies? creo que no es tan extraño, porque he escuchado que a muchos gatos les gusta mucho dormir cerca de los pies de sus dueños.

Creanme nunca pensé que hablaría de mis pies, pero con Mitchu muchas cosas son posibles, yo no soy la misma desde que ella llegó a mi vida 😜

Últimamente al amanecer, Mitchu se sube a la cama y solo se acurruca cerca de mis pies,antes en su etapa de bebe solía ronronear cerca de mi oido y las dos quedabamos dormidas hasta que amanecía, después de su primer celo, su cambio fue radical, muy independiente, ahora ama estar cerca de mis pies.

Hace un par de dias me despertó, pensando que quería comer, le puse su comida en su platito, y no la quiso, pues me acosté de nuevo y ella insistió en que quería algo, me levanté y me recosté en el sillon más grande que esta en la sala, ese sillón a ella le gusta mucho, apenas al recostarme, mi gatita enseguida se sentó comodamente y puso sus patitas en mis pies, alli se quedo un buen rato descansando, eso si, yo no me podía mover, jajaja, porque sino podía comprometer su descanso o también su concentración, pues de repente miraba hacia la ventana, creo que eran unos pajaritos que revoloteaban cerca.

Lo cierto es que me parece super tierno este gesto de Mitchu y por supuesto me encanta compartirlo, estos momentos tan dulce son terapia para mi vida 💕

Ahora me despido, espero seguir compartiendo mas anecdotas y curiosidades de mis mascotas, ellas definitivamente hacen que la vida sea mucho mejor 😊

Gracias por leer y por tu apoyo, el Creador te bendiga generosamente 🙏

In Loving Memory of Our Dear @lizelle ❤️

hive-106316 — Mon, 19 Oct 2026 14:55:21 GMT

In Loving Memory of Our Dear Lizelle ❤️

It is with the heaviest of hearts that we share the devastating news that our dear @lizelle, founder of the Silver Bloggers community, has passed away following her battle with cancer.

For so many of us here on Hive, Lizelle was much more than the founder of a community. She was a dear friend, and someone whose kindness and warmth helped bring people together from all corners of the world.

Silver Bloggers was something very special to Lizzie. Through her vision and dedication, she created a real community where friendships could flourish, stories could be shared, and members could enjoy the simple pleasures of life together. Whether that meant sharing the odd sandwich or two, reminiscing about wonderful memories, or simply enjoying each other's company.

Her loss will be felt deeply throughout our community and all over Hive.

Many of you will remember our previous update on our dear Lizelle, when we shared news of her health and the challenges she was facing.

Sadly, today we have to share the news we had all hoped would never come.

A Message from Lizelle's Son, Dean

Dean has kindly asked us to share the following message with her friends and the wider Silver Bloggers community.

It is with a heavy heart that I have to share the news that my mom lost her battle with cancer.

Fortunately, her pain did not last very long, and as much as we wish she could still be here with us, we take comfort in knowing that she is now free from pain and suffering.

She can finally rest in peace and be reunited with my Dad, whom she missed so very much.

She was so deeply loved and had the gentlest soul.

This is absolutely heartbreaking for all of us, but I hope we can find comfort in cherishing the beautiful memories we have of her.

For those who are unable to attend her memorial in person, the service will be streamed live on YouTube at the following link:

Memorial livestream:

https://www.youtube.com/live/6EPfjMNYuik?si=A8bVP9-BIPfh6nJ4

Thank you all for the love, kindness, and support you have shown my mom and our family during this difficult time.

It truly means so much to us.

A Lasting Legacy

There are some people who leave a lasting impression on our lives, even when we have never had the opportunity to meet them in person.

Lizelle was one of those people.

Through her words, her friendship and her dedication to Silver Bloggers, she touched the lives of so many. She helped build not simply a Hive community, but a family of friends from all over the world who genuinely care about one another.

And that is a wonderful legacy to leave behind.

While we mourn her passing, we also celebrate the life of a remarkable lady whose kindness and gentle spirit will never be forgotten.

Our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with Dean, the entire family, and everyone who loved Lizelle.

We hope they can take some comfort in knowing just how much she meant to so many people across the world.

Our heartfelt thanks also go to Zac (@papilloncharity) for acting as the link between Lizelle's family and the Silver Bloggers community, and for keeping us informed with news and updates about our dear @lizelle throughout this difficult time.

Share Your Memories of Lizelle ❤️

We would love to invite members of the Silver Bloggers community, and indeed everyone on Hive who knew Lizelle, to share a memory, a few words, or simply a message of condolence in the comments below.

Perhaps she welcomed you when you first joined the community, encouraged you through a difficult time, or became a treasured friend.

Whatever your memory, please feel welcome to share it.

Together, we can remember and celebrate the wonderful person she was.

Rest peacefully, dear Lizelle.

Thank you for the friendships you created, the kindness you shared, and the beautiful community you leave behind.

You will always be part of Silver Bloggers. ❤️

With much love and sadness,

The Silver Bloggers Team and Community

A cake to celebrate 💚🎉🥳 (Fifth anniversary)

carisma77 — Mon, 19 Oct 2026 00:46:39 GMT

Greetings, dear vegan community! I am so happy to be able to celebrate with you all once again—this time, our fifth anniversary! 🎉

My best wishes to this wonderful community, @plantpoweronhive. I hope that we continue to grow together, that respect, friendship, and good vibes bring us ever closer, and that our successes keep on coming!

Mis mejores deseos a esta hermosa comunidad @plantpoweronhive, espero que juntos sigamos creciendo, que el respeto, la amistad y la buena vibra nos una cada vez más y los éxitos continúen sin parar.

This time, I baked my cake in a skillet—a great option when you don’t have an oven. It’s important to use a heavy-bottomed skillet, and the cake should be cooked over very low heat.

I also topped it with an orange-flavored pastry cream, and—of course—added some blueberries, which bring a wonderful freshness to the cake, along with a few sprigs of fresh mint. 👌🏼

This cake is for you, dear community—it’s quite simple, but made with a lot of heart and love! 💚

Está vez cociné mi pastel en una sartén, a falta de horno está suele ser una buena opción, es importante que la sartén esté hecho de un material grueso y la cocción se debe hacer a fuego muy bajo.
Además he decorado con una crema pastelera con sabor a Naranja y no podían faltar los Arándanos, que le da mucha frescura a este pastel junto con unas hojas de yerbabuena 👌🏼
Es mi pastel para ti querida comunidad, muy sencillo Pero hecho con muchas ganas y amor 💚

Beet peel tea 🫜 (ENG-ESP)

carisma77 — Sat, 17 Oct 2026 00:05:06 GMT

Greetings, dear Amazing Drinks community 🤗

Saludos querida comunidad de Amazing Drinks 🤗

I love discovering new recipes—specifically those that allow me to use ingredients I used to throw away. Today, the star ingredient is beetroot peel; this incredible vegetable is a staple in my kitchen, though we usually eat it raw in juices or salads.

However, today we’re making a tea. Once I learned about its benefits, I didn't hesitate to start saving the peels to make this drink regularly. One of the great things about this tea is that it strengthens the immune system and purifies the blood. My husband is currently in recovery and needs good nutrition to stay strong for his upcoming surgery, so I’m making the most of anything that promotes better health. Plus, nothing goes to waste, which is excellent for our budget.

Me encanta descubrir nuevas recetas, esas en las cuales podemos usar ingredientes que antes solía botar, hoy usaremos como ingrediente principal, la cáscara de remolacha, este increíble vegetal no puede faltar en mi cocina, normalmente en casa se consume crudo, en jugos o ensaladas.
Pero hoy haremos un té, cuando me enteré de las propiedades que este tiene, no dude en guardar la cáscara de la remolacha para usarla constantemente y hacer está preparación, una de las bondades que ofrece este te, es el de fortalecer el sistema inmune y además limpia la sangre, en este momento mi esposo está en una etapa de recuperación, y necesita una buena alimentación y así estar fuerte para su próxima cirugía, por eso ahora aprovecho más que nunca todo lo que sea bueno para estar más saludable, además no se desperdicia nada y eso está excelente para nuestra economía.

Now, without further ado, I invite you to prepare this wonderful tea together with me 😉

Ahora sin más preámbulo, te invito a preparar este estupendo té juntos 😉

Ingredients:
Peel of one large beet.
Juice of one lemon.
500 ml of water.

Ingredientes:
Cáscara de una remolacha grande.
Jugo de un limón.
500 mi de agua.

Let’s move on to the preparation:

Place a pot containing 500 ml of water over medium-high heat.

Vamos con la preparación:

Llevamos al fuego una olla con 500 mi de agua, a fuego medio alto.

Once the water begins to boil, add the beetroot peel—which should be thoroughly cleaned beforehand.

Una vez que el agua empieza a hervir le echamos la cáscara de la remolacha, esta debe estar previamente bien limpiada.

We will let this mixture simmer for approximately 10 minutes over medium heat.

Dejaremos que está preparación hierva aproximadamente 10 minutos a fuego medio.

Once that time has passed, turn off the heat, let it rest for about 5 minutes, and serve. I chose a lovely cup and placed a few lemon slices at the bottom—though that’s optional—then poured in the tea. It ends up with a beautiful color! 😍

Transcurrido ese tiempo, apagamos el fuego, dejamos que repose unos 5 minutos y lo servimos, yo escogí una linda taza, le coloqué una rodajas de limón en la base, eso es opcional, luego servimos el té, este queda con un hermoso color! 😍

Once the tea is served, add the lemon juice—adjust the amount to your liking; personally, I like it with plenty of lemon 👌🏼.

Una vez servido el té, le añadimos el jugo de limón, pon la cantidad a tu gusto, personalmente me gusta con mucho limón 👌🏼

Tragedy has united us once again (ENG-ESP)

carisma77 — Thu, 15 Oct 2026 22:36:06 GMT

Greetings, beautiful community 🙏🏼

Saludos hermosa comunidad 🙏🏼

When my husband and I decided to move to La Guaira, it was very important for us to find a good place where we could connect with others who shared our faith.

We came from a church in Caracas that we loved dearly, but the distance made it difficult for us to keep attending, so we began looking for a church near where we were going to live.

As it turned out, we were very fortunate to find a place just three blocks away. But that wasn’t the only reason we decided to stay; this church was quite unique—most of the people attending were children and teenagers, which really caught our attention.

Most of these children came from broken homes; some lived with a grandmother, an aunt, or another relative—anyone other than their own parents 😔. There were even two underage girls who were living entirely on their own.

All of this deeply touched our hearts, and we realized it was the right place for us to serve God.

The church pastor was a very young man named Ricardo—he was around 30 at the time. He had a somewhat shy personality, but he exuded great gentleness and a deep love for his work. He welcomed us warmly, and our relationship grew stronger; there was a strong sense of unity and mutual trust.

We served in this church for three years—it became our life. We got to know the children and teenagers, and our home became a place to teach them the Word of God; at times, we also provided them with shelter, food, and entertainment. These young people were never idle—they had no time to waste, as they were busy with their studies and soccer practice, which was a true passion for many of them.

Ultimately, my husband left his business in Caracas to dedicate himself entirely to this beautiful mission. Together, we did work there that I will always remember as one of the most fulfilling experiences of my life—working with children and teenagers is truly priceless.

Unfortunately, as time went on, differences arose between us and the pastor. He even began to suspect that my husband wanted to take his position, simply because the children loved spending time with us—which, in reality, was only because my husband and I dedicated so much of our time to them.

The rift grew deeper over time. We met on several occasions to try to clear things up, but stubbornness and pride on both sides—compounded by various misunderstandings—ended up breaking the beautiful relationship we had built.

The atmosphere turned hostile, and with heavy hearts, my husband and I decided to leave. This decision brought with it many difficult challenges to face, but what we regretted most was the loss of a friendship and the realization that our service to the children in that place had come to an end. 💔

We all regretted it; I remember how some of the teenagers and children would call out for us to return, but sometimes, for the sake of peace, difficult decisions must be made.

To make a long story short, a few years passed, and we never spoke to the pastor again—until the terrible tragedy of the earthquake occurred.

A couple of days after the tragedy, we learned that the pastor’s wife and their youngest daughter were missing. She had been pregnant, and they had two other children—a boy and a teenage girl. Sadly, the lifeless bodies of the pastor’s wife and their youngest daughter were found in the ruins of the building where they lived. 💔

They lived in the same residential area as we did, though on a different street; that entire place was left completely devastated.

Hearing this news was deeply painful. I cannot imagine the agony Pastor Ricardo must be feeling right now—not only did he lose his home—which had taken so much sacrifice to acquire—but he also lost his life partner and his little girl. My God, so many dreams that will now go unfulfilled.

When we were finally able to reach him, there were no words that could truly suffice; we simply let him know that he could count on us and that we felt his pain as if it were our own.

A few days later, my husband happened to run into the pastor during a census being conducted in Caracas. My husband, clearly moved, told me that as soon as they saw each other, they embraced and wept together.

Reflecting on all of this, I realize that while this tragedy has left many wounds, it has also served to heal others.

We are now in constant contact with Pastor Ricardo, supporting one another in various ways and leaving behind the misunderstandings that had once caused our relationship to fracture.

We thank God for the strength he has shown, and we continue to pray that, even amidst such profound pain, he and his family may find strength, comfort, and peace. 🙏🏼

Thank you for reading and for your support; may the Creator bless you generously 🙏🏼💕
