kimberlylynn @kimberlylynn (978) • United States 12 Jul 08

thetruth4you No I don't get up early to bake. If it is a really hot day and I want to bake cookies or muffins I put my toaster oven on my patio table out on my back deck and do my baking outside. I have done this several times this summer and it works great.

thetruth4you I enjoyed season 12. The team I wanted to win (TK and Rachael) did. They were very laid back and didn't yell and scream at each other. It was a refreshing change. Ron was a jerk to his daughter in the beginning but by the end of the show he had changed quite a...
