One of the things about being a vegetable-heavy vegetarian is that it involves a LOT of chopping. I’ve concluded that it’s best to make enough of whatever you’re making so that you get the occasional meal or two or three that doesn’t involve sharpening your knives and going to war.
Case in point: this half a melon filled with berry salad from the other night for breakfast. (Also, this soon after stopping coffee, not needing to juggle big, sharp knives this early in the morning is a good thing).
