That makes perfect sense Cynthia. So, um, I did a lot of work with, uh, uh, with teachers in public schools, um, and we're doing a lot of teaching them how to cook at home and one of the items that I always did recommend was a food processor. And I found one at even like a Walmart for $34 that was small compact and did what we needed it to be able to do. So that would probably be my recommendation, um, for an inexpensive one is go to like a Walmart or a Target and do a little bit of price comparison. Some of the things you wanna look for on a food processor one, um, is it, is it water safe? So will water just splash out the top? Um, if you turn it on, so you wanna look for a rubber seal around the top of the bin. Um, you wanna look for, uh, if, if you can, if it has two blades, that's great. If it has one blade that's metal, that chops things and one that is plastic, which will typically help with on dough and basically helping with dough to be able to mix those. Some other great things are if you can get one of the disks that goes in the top that, um, if it shreds one way and then you flip it over and it does a mandolin setting the other way is great. Now those might be, um, some more expensive ones and the $35 range might not have some of those, but you might be surprised what they're doing today. So definitely take a look and see what you can find. Um, looking for some of those options on it, but you don't have to spend a lot of money, um, on a food processor. Even the food process I to use that was, um, you know, kind of expensive has like, well I wouldn't say it was, um, it was more expensive, but it had three different cups that folded inside of each other. Four blades and like six of the different settings in the discs you could put on the top. And that was like the kind of top end one that wasn't a commercial version of that. And that was like around $200 or something like that. That's the very high end of a process food processor. So, uh, there's anywhere between those, you know, the $35 version up to something like that. And the $35 version is much smaller, it's easier to clean, um, and you don't have to worry about, you know, it falling or anything like that as well too. So the $35 one is a great place to start and that's definitely what I would recommend.
