Cutting a couple of chives almost every day until this Reddit says they’re perfect. Day 35


There is a bit of green left on my cutting board which means I did something wrong today. So I will be sharpening my knife again for tomorrow.

    me at the start: “The perfect ~~blossom~~ chives is a rare thing. You could spend your entire life looking for one, and it would not be a wasted life.” (Katsumoto, The Last Samurai)

    me now (willing to see the beauty beyond the imperfection): [“Perfect… They are *all* perfect.”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDYBL70eReo)

    KarmaKrazi is gonna need a whole aircraft carrier for this one, chef.

    If I go into a coma and awake a year later and still see chive posts I’m gonna go crazy.

    Man, it’s not even been 10 minutes and you’ve already been diced in the comments better than those chives.

    Good luck for tomorrow 🫡

    I suddenly realised while searching that one of these days, out of nowhere, it might actually be perfect and this whole insane beautiful rollercoaster will end abruptly.

    I’m glad it’s not today, because I learned that I’m not ready. And probably won’t be when it happens.

    See you tomorrow, chef.

    Ya know, I’m happy to be here but also….when does it end? If it doesn’t, do we just succumb to the agreement that chives may never be perfect? Is this a grand social experiment we are all engaging in?

    Did you use a mallet or a knife? Sharpen that damn thing, and no don’t just hone the knife

    I can’t believe I’m here within 10 minutes of posting and KarmaKrazi hasn’t even posted yet.

    But see you tomorrow chef!

    I have no cooking experience and I come every day and zoom in like I have any clue what I’m looking for. I have enjoyed these posts immensely. I got pretty sick for a bit and this gave me something to do while stuck vegging on the couch.

    Have you tried tilting your knife slightly to the side while you cut in a forward motion without the tip of the knife leaving the board?

    Tilting the knife can add that extra side friction to seperate the fibers of the chive.

    My wife thinks it’s weird when I talk about you.

    Nah man, this guy needs to buy a newspaper and cut the chives on that everyday so we can verify the date. No longer can you be trusted OP
