Ditto. This part killed me: "About 11 years ago I entered a show with some fruit scones. I was the only entrant but I came third."

Thank God this only happens to her every 11 years. Otherwise she might get a complex. It's killing me. I mean it.

I can't believe they will continue to have an annual bake off if they can't even scrounge up contestants for the flippin' thing! I mean, are they so pompous that they can't give this woman first prize in a contest that nobody enters???? LOL!! That's just too much...LOL!!

Hold one everyone for a second .. Next year they will probably get hundreds of entrants .. this would have been an EXCELLENT publicity stunt ..
