I am in tears right now reading all the sweet, motivating comments about my story!!! Plateaued asked about the particulars of having a friend do it with me.

I would make a double batch of brownies or some other homemade treat so there was one pan for the family to share and one whole pan for me. The family's dessert lasted for days and mine would be gone by morning.
