What moron made up the phrase, "Bake it off"? Bake it off of what? I know what it means, but it sounds stupid. The first time I heard it was when I started working in a bakery. I was told to break out (another stupid term) some pies and bake them off. Why couldn't they just say bake these pies? I've noticed Paula Deen says it a lot on her shows. Is there a difference between baking a pie and baking off a pie? I know for me, either way, they're going to come out just the same.
