You can't live on any one type of food. Baffled by your stance on this
one... does it really matter if celery lacks all nutrients essential
for survival?

To be perfectly frank, they came from a packet, so I don't know
exactly what was in it. We'd just come in from the cold, and
I was starving, so I took the line of least resistance.

If I had been inclined to do it from scratch (as I often am),
it would have been garlic, scallions (I believe you might call
them shallots), coriander leaves, and parsley. Salt and pepper
to taste.

freeze what you don't use for the next time you want to make stock.
That means you won't have to make a special trip to buy celery just to
make stock.

In these days of obesity, what's better than a food item with almost no
calories?

Sounds good to me Cindy, I wonder how some fresh French tarragon would
go in place of the coriander (I like tarragon with chicken, but I like
coriander too).

(I appreciate you called it coriander and not Cilantro too

Fresh bunches of celery are not always available here, so that's
another reason I'm interested in freezing it.

I haven't tried that at all, but I might later today out of curiosity.

Great combo. I eat it all the time.

Unfortunately, I buy organic celery, then spread it with Jif. 8|

I usually call it cilantro, but for this I used "coriander", just
for you.

35, AKA Crystal Palace.

If you like celery, and I do, there is at least one recipe out there for celery au gratin.
I don't have the recipe...made it once and loved it, by my son doesn't want it in
anything, so I didn't save it. He and my DIL are my usual guests.
