I like anything that's named after Nico Case. So I'm sort of falling towards that one. I'm a big Nico Case fan. Yeah, I sensed a big difference between a lot of the callers and myself and you, Jessica. There's a lot of really like earnest, sweet names. And the only time I've ever named a sourdough starter, it's always been either self-deprecating in some way or sarcastic or punny or, you know.

Yeah, they're so sweet. Very sweet stories. Yeah. And it's opening, it's opening a whole new world for me in terms of what I could name my sourdough starter. And the ones that are named after other people or that are reminders, or I think that one caller said that it was named after all the strong women in her family. That's very sweet because, you know.

Oh, yeah. And the reason why is last time I was up at headquarters, I brought back a bag of our new oat flour. And I'm just looking for ways to use it just to check it out. And digestive biscuits keep on coming up. So I want to make some classic digestive biscuits. I love like weedy, oaty cookies. Yeah. And I'm definitely going to dip half of them in chocolate.
