Pickled Celery

# 1

4 celery hearts Juice of 1/2 lemon 1 pt. vegetable oil
Juice of 6 lemons
1/2 pt. wine vinegar 1 clove crushed garlic 1 tbsp. chopped
parsley 1 tsp. oregano Good dash cayenne pepper 1 sprig
thyme 1 bay leaf Salt and pepper Sm. jar pimentoes

Trim, wash and halve four select young celery hearts of
equal size. Parboil for 8-10 minutes in just enough water
to cover along with juice of
2/2 lemon. Prepare a mixture of oil, juice of 6 lemons,
wine vinegar, garlic, parsley and remaining seasonings
and set to boil. Add parboiled celery and cook until
tender. Remove celery to serving plate and decorate with
pimento. Serve very cold!

# 2

1 med. bunch celery
3/2 c. sugar
4/2 c. white vinegar
5/2 c. water
6/2 tsp. mustard seed
7/2 tsp. salt

3 1/2 hours or the day before, cut celery into 1 inch
diagonal slices. Place in a large bowl. In 1 quart
saucepan cook over high heat sugar, water, mustard-seed,
and salt. Pour over celery and stir gently and refrigerate
for at least 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

Original Waldorf Salad

This very easy, simple salad has a long, rich history. It
was created in the 1890s at New York's Waldorf-Astoria
hotel by maître d' Oscar Tschirky. The original salad
contained only mayonnaise, apples and celery, but today is
usually served with walnuts and other ingredients. This
recipe serves four to six.

"variation"

Ingredients: 2 ribs celery
8/2 c. red grapes
9/2 c. walnuts 2 apples
10/2 c. mayonnaise
11/4 c. sour cream 1 lemon 1 head horseradish or
romaine lettuce

Steps:
12. Cut the white ends off the celery ribs. Use a vegetable
peeler to peel off the strings that cover the outside
of the ribs.

13. Dice the ribs into 1/4-inch squares.

14. Cut the grapes in half, and use your fingers or a knife
to break the walnuts into pieces. (Image 1)

15. Wash, core and dice the apples. (See Tips for apple
varieties.) (Image
16)

17. Place the apples, grapes, walnuts and celery in a bowl.
Add the mayonnaise and sour cream and stir everything
together. Squeeze a few teaspoons of lemon juice in,
stir well, and taste - the lemon juice should be almost
undetectable. (Image 3)

18. Arrange a large whole inner leaf of romaine on each
plate and top each one with a scoop of the salad.

Cut them into bits and freeze them in a box to make more
soup in the future?????????

Throw them straight into the soup when you use them - they
look ultra ugly if you leave them to thaw... my experience
from using a malfunctioning fridge provided by my
landlord...

I have made this soup/stew since many many times using my
little 3 litre thermal cooker since I was a student - mainly
to use up rotting veg. Use cubes of beef, brown them in a
little bit of oil, loads of chopped onions, salt and pepper,
splashes of soya sauce and balsamic vinegar. Then chuck in
large amount of tomatoes, carrots, celeries,
green/red/yellow peppers, potatoes (optional), cabbage
(optional), spices (optional), tomato puree. Fill the pot up
with water straight after I've finished putting in the
vegetables. Leave it to boil then simmer for a loooonnng
time. Nothing overly exciting - the celery will
disintegrate, so you can be eating them without seeing them
if you are fed up with seeing the celery... and more
importantly, only ONE pot to wash!

Stir fry them with sliced chicken thighs... I usually cut
the celery into diagonal slices - kind of make them look
bigger and easier to pick up.

Ah! Just remember this - my mum makes this juice with a very clean fresh taste:

celery green/granny smith apples green peppers white bitter
melon (You might be able to find this in a Chinese
supermarkt - I don't know what they're call but they're (1)
bitter, (2) white in color, (3) their surface is smooth like
bell peppers but it goes up and down like spoils on
teenagers' faces)

chop them all up and throw them all into a juicer.

This is a small town, I bet everyone bought a bag of that
celery. But now I'm wondering if the deer would eat celery.

I think you could dry the celery. You'd lose the texture,
but you'd still have the taste.

tried drying celery. Didn't quite do it. The end product was
very hard and it didn't rehydrate to what I wanted.

They eat everything else :-(. They even ate the rhubarb
leaves last fall; apparently, they don't get poisoned by
them? So probably they'd enjoy the celery (if other young
growth isn't tastier).

Can't help you much on celery recipes, other than suggesting
the usual soups, stews, salads, etc. I've never tried to dry
the stalks.

They probably will. And while you're trying to keep them out
of your garden going after everything else you will be
cursing yourself for feeding the deer.

No problem here, I love deer (and I'm not talking about
venison, although I love that, too). But once you invite
them near your garden, you may have a problem.

I admit that the first thing that popped into my mind is
Chop Sue E.

I drove by the old Grand China restaurant here in Sandy
Eggo, that has been going since 1924 and realized I hadn't
eaten there in some time. It a shame because I would hate to
see such a piece of history be unsupported. With all the new
"more authentic" and, of course, more expensive Chinese
restaurants the old Chop Sue E restaurants with their
wonderful fantasmic Chinese decor are disappearing. Best
place to go for BBQ pork fried rice, fried shrimp, Chop Sue
E, and Chow Mein with pots and pots of jasmine tea and very
reasonable prices. Just about every town (at least here in
California) had at least one of these Chinese palaces. They
all looked remarkably similar - booths, lots of pagoda
looking woodwork and paper lanterns. There are many simple
things I miss these days and the old Chop Sue E palaces are
the one I'm missing now. I only know of two of them left in
the San Diego area. There is also the Grand China in
Escondido.

No sense on wasting all that lovely celery on just soup and
stuff. Sheldon can mix these up and chug 'em down the
morning after. With celery of course. I just hope these
recipes don't kill him 😉
