    I am biased cos I love celery but throwing away food is like throwing away money! find a way to use it!

    Thanks Buffy, I have had a quick look, some of them look quite easy and I don't like all the ingedients but they seem adaptable. However, unless a hungry rabbit knocks on the door the celery is going in the bin. :o I know when I am beaten. :D

    I agree about throwing out food, I try not to, but in this instance I only bought a little bit to test so it's not too bad.

    Celery tastes better when dunked in Nutella chocolate spread. Lots and lots of chocolate spread. Note: This doesn't feature in the Slimming World Handbook

    I decided to order a couple of things I hadn't tried before as I know I don't eat a good enough variety of vegetables, in the spirit of which I have just had my first ever taste of celery. _pale__pale__pale_ I cannot believe people eat that stuff, no wonder I am fat if this is how you lose weight. :mad:

    :D

    Celery crops should be burned. It is a disgusting vegetable. ( & I can eat just about anything)

    Just realised why we're all single, some bluddy greedy woman out there has 5 husbands ... & she's the only one been caught so far, bet there are loads of them - how selfish :(

    From two years of road testing, I can advise you that one is always sufficient, and occasionally excessive. :rolleyes:;):D

    Dex - am totally with you on the peanut butter thing. Love it! I too sometimes have celery with peanut butter as a snack. Nigella has a divine recipe for a fried banana and peanut butter sandwich (apparently much loved by the late great Elvis!!)

    I have to say, I love celery too. Like it braised in a stew or raw (dipped in salt) Actually can't think of any veggies I don't like...I'm not that keen on courgettes on their own - that's about it.

    My day has been v. stressful. My plans didn't work...unsurprisingly as I had entrusted a task to someone who is very very untrustworthy.

    Still is over now, although have a nightmare to sort out tomorrow no doubt.

    Am going to Tatco and then going to watch TV all evening. No Cleaning / decluttering/ other worth while deeds for me today!
    I've got my own flat :j:j

    Now I have to pay the bills :eek:

    And feed my interiors addiction ;)
