 JW> I find it very flavourful, especially the leaves.

While down in Aridzona several years ago on a whim I decided to make
some "Cream of celery" soup.  Probably had to do with celery being on
sale for some ridiculously cheap price per pound, most likely something
like 16cents.  I've had milder chilli, and I added no chile.

Two years ago I found dried celery leaves on sale in the spice aisle
at the Safeway down there.  Bought 6 of them, two are in "dry" storage
down there and the others are here*.  I generally toss some into the
crockpot no matter what I'm cooking.  In the past I would buy a stick
or three and slice/dice/dry/suckie bag it.

*I check a carry on sized bag while traveling, mainly for the things
I want to transport back and forth.  Things like 4 6" non-stick
skillets that are only available at SamsClub (all of them closed here
in Alaska).  Although last spring I built a small computer specifically
to carry in that bag.

      Title: Marinated Onions From George Fassett
 Categories: Appetizers, Vegetables
      Yield: 1 servings

      2 lg Vidalia Onions
      1 c  Vegetable Oil
      1 c  White Vinegar
      3 tb Sugar
    1/2 ts Salt
    1/4 ts Pepper
    1/2 ts Parsley Flakes
    1/2 ts Oregano
    1/4 ts Garlic Powder

  Vidalia Onions are the sweetest summer onion you can find!  Enhance
  their natural mild and sweet flavor with the above marinating recipe.
  Slice the onions 1/4 inch thick, separating rings. Ingredients are
  more estimated than measured, add or subtract to your own individual
  taste. Mix all ingredients in a container you can cover and shake,
  keep in the refrigerator.  Marinade at least 24 hours before serving.
  You can continue to add more onions to mixture as necessary for up to
  four additions. After that, drain, make new marinade and transfer
  onions. If some have not been rotated through, throw out the very
  soft slices.
  :          Delicious by themselves or as a garnish to salads, burgers,
  whatever.  Eat, enjoy, then kiss someone!
