re: what veggie won't you eat~ Rachael - Celery

[Guest guest]

I just love " Ants on a Log " For those of you that haven't heard about what this

is, here you go.. Take a piece of celery, trim off the ends and wash. Then

fill the channel with peanut butter. Add your " ANTs " which are raisins all

along the channel, pressing down lightly into the Peanut Butter.

 

BTW, maybe one reason you developed a dislike for celery is because you got a

hold of some of the very strong flavored kinds.

 

Here is a tip on picking great mild celery.

 

Look at the celery from the top of the stalk. If it is thick, it will have a

much better flavor than if it is very thin on each stalk. Next look for a light

green color. The darker the green the more intense and offensive the taste it

will have. I won't buy thin stalks or dark green celery. I love light green

plump celery.. I have read that it wasn't watered enough when it was growing,

when it is to thin and dark. This would cause it to have that stronger flavor

that many don't care for.

#1, I love the spelling of your name, my niece's name is spelled the same

way.

 

#2, I'm with your partner, celery is too strong for me mostly, I hardly use

it. Fresh, salt, seed, just too much to bear. I do cook with it, the kids

don't mind it and I'm trying to keep them on the veggie path, so sometimes I

grin

and bear it. Do not put it in a salad, or I'll be making faces and picking

it out.

A really sharp knife will cut straight through on a good cutting board.

I taught kindergarten and Pre school and this was one of the children's

favorite " cooking " treats.

BTW...how can you cut celery so there are no strings? Or is that

impossible?

Turn it channel side down when you cut and you'll get a clean cut. Also

sometime I just pull off the strings, if their appears to be an abundance

Strings usually aren't a problem thought with the plump light green stalks. Just

stick with those.
