Thanks for allowing me on this site! Is it my imagination, or does it smell wonderful here?

Esme left a post that sounded like she might be willing to do a little breadmaking teaching, and suggested anyone interested should post here as well, so that's what I'm doing.

We are celebraing my Mom's 80th birthday on the afternoon of October 8th, 2010 and hope to be able to enjoy a bread making experience with her.  Really, we'd like not so much to learn how (as if we could in an hour or two!) as to experience kneading it and sprinkling it with seeds (my mom really likes seeds on her bread), brushing it with egg yolk (if that's what you do), smell it baking and taking home some loaves. It could be done in my kitchen if that would be easier.  We think that would make a wonderful birthday event.

I don't even know if Esme will read this, so anyone else in the Ann Arbor area who'd be willing to allow us the privilege of hiring you to help make this happen, would be greatly appreciated.

I'm told that sometimes there's the option of a private message on forums, which I don't know how to do, but if anyone get's back to me, I can find out.

I admire you all for your delicious work!
