I prefer my celery raw and crunchy. I mostly use it diced up in tuna or
chicken salad ..... unless it's called out in an ingredients list - like
for a stew, etc. And then I have to parse the recipe to be sure the list
really means "stalk" instead of "stick" or "rib". A stalk of celery is
a LOT.

Normal is just a setting on your washing machine or clothes dryer.  Bv)=

One of my favourite cauliflower things is battered and deep-fried like
mushrooms.

This recipe may be used for cauliflower as well as muchrooms.
