I tried a blender once, not powerful enough, I always make it by hand.

So happy you got a good pie crust, really makes a big difference.

That TEMU store online we talked about.  I ordered a suction cup grip holder for my bathroom shower.  It works better than the one I bought at Shoppers which was much more expensive. 
At first I thought the prices were a scam but the reason for the cheap prices is that transportation and shipping is not charged.  China has a deal with their merchants.  Exports are shipped free.  In Canada if I order an 8 dollar item the cheapest shipping via Canada Post is $20 and with tax it comes to $30 total.

I try my best to not use Canada Post. I bought a book on Amazon Canada, I was not going to be in Canada at the time of delivery, so I requested the book be delivered to my local Post Office. I ordered this book on March 13th.. I got a email from Canada Post saying my package was being held up in Mississauga On. due to being a suspicious package. I answered their questionnaire as requested to do. I got my book yesterday and the package was ripped open.

Any idea why it would be suspicious?

Have no clue, but once I answered there questionnaire, they sent the package on it's way. I was wondering if maybe, because I do not have a P.O.Box, but the girls at the local Post Office all know me.
