I’ve been doing a lot of chopping lately. I like to have an apple nearly every day with lunch. My teeth have been bothering me for a couple of months — not enough to schedule an emergency dentist visit — but it’s uncomfortable for me to bite into an apple. So I’ve been cutting the apple into bite-sized pieces. And even though I don’t cook, I’ve gotten great at chopping, and also pretty good at not slicing open a finger.
