Yes, you've had some really interesting stories.

Things Bakers Know: The King Arthur Baking Podcast
Vanilla: Boring or the Best? with Claire Saffitz

I did see your eyes get wide.

I actually have a note I want to give at the end of our answer about

a specific extract, but why were your eyes getting wide?
