Dear Martin,

I wish I could send you photos of my baguettes and pain d’épí de blé. After many less than perfect results, (you warned about this) I am finally turning out loaves that look like baguettes and pain d’épí de blé both outside and inside. They taste good too. I am fascinated by your videos not only as venues for learning a new skill, but also, as a retired teacher, by your interaction with your son. He may not know it now, but I am sure they will be stored in his long term memory, as treasures from his childhood.

Thank you for making these videos.

FYI: I am 81 years old, and you have brought joy to an old lady.
