Title: You know you've been milling too long when...

You know you've been milling too long when you're helping prepare dinner and when you look down you realize you're backsawing the carrots for a stir fry. :D

As an aside, can we still call it "spring" when it's a vegetable?

You know you've been milling too long when you save the sawdust from your pockets!

Longtime, do you cut the carrots along the taper for grade or do you level the pith?

What do you do about stress?

I too have noticed the spring in many carrots, I usually put these straight in the dip and eat right away,  not worth the fight in my opinion,
