I confess, I’m fudging the dates a bit here, but essentially, I ushered in the New Year with a new chopping block.
I can’t remember how long I’d used the last block. I looked through the blog (useful as it is, as an informal diary) and found one other reference to changing the chopping block, this post from 2010: In Search of the Perfect Chopping Block. I know that the block I just retired was not either of the “new” blocks I described in that post. It had to be one that came after that. Based on some quick and dirty estimation, it looks like I go through a chopping block in about 4 years, on average.
