Thanks for the info!!! Making batches will make my life alot easier being that I have a two and half year old running around, along with a house full of critters to tend to. What's even better about fasting with my mom is that we live together and are constant sources of encouragement for eachother, say when one of us wants to cave, the other steps forward with encouraging words. Support at this time really is priceless. And the support one can find on this forum is remarkable!!! Looking forward to our fast...Thanks again to everyone!!!
