Every Friday, Google Moderators highlight the best posts they found to celebrate the amazing discoveries Local Guides like you are sharing on Connect. These are posts detailing past experiences that we hope will serve as entertainment and inspiration for your future bucket list. This week, a breakfast recipe, loving the community, and more.
@MashaPS : When I was a kid, my grandparents used to tell me a saying when I didn’t want to finish my breakfast. They said, “Eat your breakfast by yourself, share your lunch with a friend, give your dinner to your enemy,” meaning that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Now, as a grown-up, I know that a good breakfast gives you energy. In her post “Never Skip Breakfast Again With This Simple and Tasty Recipe,” @SilviaMontoyaGomez shares an easy yet delicious breakfast recipe of zucchini scramble with tomatoes and basil. What impressed me the most about her post was feeling like I was in a cooking class with her. Silvia explains the preparation process step by step while providing helpful photos. If you haven’t read her post yet, make sure you do so, and maybe even try her suggestion for your next breakfast. Feel free to browse more recipes from the #CommunityChefChallenge here.
@KlaudiyaG : This year was tough on many of us, but, as the wise wizard Dumbledore says in one of the “Harry Potter” books, “Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.” This quote captures the essence of @Melissa_Langlois ’s post, "My new big family - the local guides #CommunityLoveChallenge.” In it, she shares her story as a Local Guide, a healthcare professional, and a person during the pandemic. Melissa tells us how the Local Guides community gave her strength and courage to continue doing what she’s doing. Her post is a beautiful recap of her experiences in 2020.
@BorrisS : This week, I came across @Lusianaa ’s post, “Croissant and Concert #CommunityFoodFightChallenge,” and I enjoyed it a lot. In it, she remembers a trip to Singapore she did with her sister back in January 2020. Although the main reason for the trip was attending a music concert, she tells us about her memorable visit to the Tiong Bahru Bakery. If you love French pastries and croissants as much as Lusiana and me, then this post is definitely for you. It will give you a glimpse inside what she says is “one of the best bakeries in Singapore!”
@DeniGu : As part of his #monthlytopic for November, @HiroyukiTakisawa took us to the Salad Farm in Hachimantai, Japan, with his post, “Let’s go to meet bunnies and alpacas! , #monthlytopic - A place to meet animals 
.” Apart from the delicious locally produced food and lunch boxes on offer, the farm is also famous for its petting zoo. Hiroyuki melts our hearts with adorable photos of fluffy and friendly-looking alpacas and hopping bunnies. If you’re feeling down, I guarantee his post will brighten your day!
