Stefan, do you have one of those hand choppers that you push down on the top 
to chop stuff?  They work reasonably well and you have more control over the 
product than a fast grinding machine.
I am most happy doing all the chopping and grinding by hand.  I have a habit 
of letting the water in the sink run to accompany me while doing chores like 
that.  Of course, I let the water run when I clean too.
