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...

Yeah, I have been adding chopped celery to my tuna and chicken salads,
but I counted and see I have 4 stalks, not 3 in the fridge. Using it all
before it rots will be a challenge.

Many useful ideas in this thread already, thanks! Will try that soup
recipe. I checked out Joy of Cooking some time ago but wasn't keen on
what they had. Myself (for the soup) I'll probably use nonfat dry milk
instead of cream or 1/2 & 1/2. I declared war on cholesterol a few
months ago with much success. Want to hold the fort. I've eaten almost
no butterfat since.

Don't need any stinkin' JOC... celery is excellent in Ramen.

It keeps a long time. I keep mine in my fridge vegetable drawer in an
open-end plastic bag.

Land O'Lakes makes a non-fat half and half. Laden with chemicals,
though.

Wrapped in foil seems to help celery stay fresh longer. I read it then
tired it and found it certainly worked for me.

that's what i've been doing of late - wrapping in foil and then putting in
a somewhat large open bag. probably someone here mentioned it.

Heh, just what I do, prior to tossing it in the trash

O, not a celery lover.
