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.

Everyone has a dining room table, it's one of those things we think we need when we move away from home, but what do we use it for? Is there anyone that just uses it to eat their meals like it was intended? I am looking at mine,...
