"Making cheese is a lot like being in a painting studio. You spend 8 hours there or more, and you're doing very tedious, repetitive, meticulous things. At the end of it, you get this thing that is edible and delicious, and everyone can judge for themselves whether or not they like it." -- Anne Saxelby on The Morning After

"The ratio that we used is based on a ratio developed by the United States government during World War II, when the government was sending out packets of coffee to their troops." [25:45]

"Brewing a whole cup of coffee and then icing it down tends to not only water it down, but leaves a bitter aftertaste." [28:00]
