Kitchen tip,
Cut a bunch of herbs without the mess
Wrap your herbs loosely in a wet paper towel and cut through it. Less mess on the board, best with chives, works with parsley too.

The problem
Cutting a bunch of herbs turns your cutting board into a mess.
The fix
Grab a wet paper towel and wrap it around your herbs, loosely enough that you can slide it around. Hold the wet paper towel, cut up your herbs, and slide the towel back as you go until you reach the stems. This works best with chives, but it also works with parsley.
