Friday Chit Chat

 I went to the (used) bookstore to ask if they had anything about how women coped in WWII. I've seen some mentioned on Pinterest and asked if they had those titles. They didn't. I was directed to the Herstory shelves. I had no idea what the young woman meant but she took me to the section marked Herstory which was right next to the section marked History.  Please tell me I'm not the only one who never heard of this new word!  I did find some books that look as if they might be interesting but as far as I can tell they're all novels. I was looking for some that were written at the time and were about the life of the author. Oh well. I'll keep looking. I know some are available on Amazon but I don't feel like paying those prices.

 We had a strange day today. We received a notice last week that on this Friday our power could be turned off any time between 10 until 4 o'clock.  We waited and kept watching but no workers ever showed up. Meanwhile we hadn't turned on any computers nor the stove or washer & dryer.  DH stayed home from Gleaners in case the Hydro workers needed him to move a section of our front fence ( which is really close to the pole that was supposed to be replaced).  Now we are left wondering when they'll show up. I doubt they work weekends so maybe Monday?

Thank you for all the comments on the Impossible Lemon pie.  We enjoyed it ( it was gone in no time at all) but both of us agree that the Impossible Coconut pie is better. I make those Impossible pies quite often because they always turn out.  If you're interested, try the savoury recipes. They're good too and so easy.
There's a recipe on-line for make-your-own Bisquick. I mix up a double batch and keep it handy in the fridge.
