In order to plant my kabocha pumpkins a few days ago I had to dig up 3
good sized celery plants and they're in my refrigerator in plastic bags.
For me living alone, that's a lot of celery! Keeps well, but even so I'm
going to need ideas or most of it will go bad. I need good ideas for
recipes including celery. Celery sticks, celery with peanut butter I
know about. Maybe some soups? What do you like? TIA...

I hit send too soon. Here are some other ideas:

1) Stuffing: Sautee onions and celery in butter; add to stale bread
cubes with chicken stock, salt, pepper, and sage

2) Chicken salad (or any other kind of mayo-based salad) benefits, in my
opinion, from a LARGE amount of VERY FINELY DICED celery and some finely
diced sweet onion. I'm picky about that, but it comes out really well.

3) Celery roasts very well. To roast veggies, I chop them into roughly
equal-sized chunks, toss all of them in a little olive oil and salt,
spread them out in one layer on a baking sheet lined with something
(foil, parchment, silicone, whatever) and bake at 400F, turning every
15-20 minutes or so, until the edges are all caramelized. My favorite
combo is potatoes, beets, carrots, and onions, but celery is a lovely
addition to that.
