If you have more left over, you can chop it, freeze in one cup baggies and
use in cooking later. Will be soft but flavor will still be there.

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 *love* celery soup. Chop up an onion and a whole stalk (all the ribs,
that is) of celery. Sautee them in butter and/or oil with salt and pepper
until everything's softened. Add good chicken stock or some other cooking
liquid to cover, bring to a boil, and simmer for 30 minutes, adding more
liquid if necessary to keep them covered. At the end, either puree or
don't, depending on your preference, and then add heavy cream.

Yumma.
