    Chef, I think you can take a break. Great job.

    The bigger question is what exactly have you been doing with all the chopped chives?

    Never caught it this soon. I was not prepared chef. Apologies

    Whether or not Reddit gives you the go ahead, this is your best! There’s a tear in my eye.

    Just a little uneven but this is more than acceptable for service chef.

    This going to be like Doby when he is gifted a sock. You’ll be free one day OP

    I swear to Enkidu, you curmudgeons are just wasting your time. Your reports on the post and my mod comments asking for civil behavior are automatically approved. No humans see them.

    But hey, if that’s how you want to spend your day that says a lot more about you than it does a dude working on his knife skills.

    I see some herb bruising scattered throughout. Sharpen your knife and dont apply too much pressure while cutting. See you tomorrow.

    It’s not perfect yet chef

    When you finally get it, I want a celebration video of you eating a bowl of perfectly chopped chives

    Time to sharpen your knife. I can tell some of the edges are crushed

    Thank god no yellow board again lol. I’m so glad to see the improvements you’ve made since day 1!

    The only reason I continue to be here is so that when this thing hits day 1000 I can tell everyone I was here from the start

    Just a tip: As you’re using a plastic cutting board, make sure it’s 100% flat. The more “affordable boards” tend to warp if cleaned in a high-heat dishwasher and not stored flat for the first ten minutes or so after washing.

    I notice my results are less than optimal when I’ve got a cutting board that has a warp to it (ie: more trains, long/short, etc) as the knife blade doesn’t make smooth/even contact with the board. You’ll know you’re working on a warped board when you hear the heel of the blade make heavy contact with the board before you’re 100% through your cut, even by a millimeter.

    Keep up the good work, OP! Your skills are improving and, I assume, your skin is hardening as well from all the commentary. Proud of you!

    I think we need to see the original uncut chives because I’m starting to think these are green onions and I’m going to lose my mind.

    Hasn’t anyone figured out yet that OP cut one batch of chives, then took pictures of that batch in different containers and on different surfaces, and is now posting one pic each day?
    It’s all the same batch of chopped chives.

    I don’t know why people keep saying it’s perfect. There are holes in every single one of them.

    Have you tried just cutting them all the same size?
