Cutting boards are essential, for sure, when working in the kitchen.  for years I did my chopping on small cutting boards.  Finely diced celery, onions, peppers, tomatoes falling and piling everywhere but ON the cutting board.  I managed, quite well but it was frustrating.

Then one day a friend walked into my house with a very large bag in her hand.  As large as the bag was, the gift inside was bigger.  For no reason, but having a suspicion about my needs, she had bought me a cutting board.
