What to do with Celery Hearts

what with being feverish and fasting and not having an appetite nor the desire to go on the hunt for interesting and diverting foodstuffs i concentrate on using up that which is in the refrigerator

there are several walla walla onions / a package of celery hearts the outer stalks of which have been forced through the juicer with the last of the carrots and the juliette tomatoes for a tasty glass of V-3

there are some nice crisp apples

several potential menu items come to mind

sweet onion / celery / apple salad dressed with the bottom most smear of mayonnaise left in the jar spritzed with a little homemade fruit wine vinegar (choices here at apricot and mulberry) / this will require a lot of chewing

celery and onion stir fry dressed with the last of the pad thai sauce / throw this on to the leftover rice or better still fry up the rice and throw a beaten egg on that !

hmmm / things are looking up / epicurious.com offers a number of exciting options like braised celery

cream of celery/onion soup with the rest of the chicken broth (there are two kinds : the homemade chicken jelly and that which is left in the purchased box of chicken broth / there is enough cream and/or half n half to make this quite sumptous and will need less chewing and has a higher comfort level

or

just stuff the celery with peanut butter and be done with it
