Hi Dave,


 DD> I use it in salads (meat or traditional), in chilli (to add body),
 DD> stuffing/dressing, and soups. Also with peanut butter (yes, I know) or
 DD> cream/pimiento cheese in the trough as a snack.

 RH> You're cooking for one; I'm cooking for 2.

 DD> And I can always use the limber (but not rotten) celery for soup.

Always a use for it, even rotten celery can be used for compost.

 DD>      8<----- SLASH ----->B

 DD> Wally-World groceries are a RIP-OFF. Especially the "fresh" meat - all
 DD> of which has "up to 15% flavor enhancing solution added". I will be
 DD> forever damned (as in condemned to the pit) if I'll pay meat prices
 DD> for salt water.

 RH> I don't get meat or produce at W-M; usually get toiletries, some
 RH> foodstuffs (not their house brand canned goods), automotive/camper
 RH> needs, etc.

 DD> I don't care for their corporate culture since Sam Walton passed and
 DD> his heirs turned their largess over to the avaricious bean-counters.
 DD> So, I vote with my wallet and withhold my custom.

 RH> Sometimes they're the only place in town for something.

 DD> In which case I'll do without or order on-line.

On line isn't always an option and sometimes it's something needed.

 DD> of my near-bys. But, like the C-F-A they're about as far from me as
 DD> they can get and still be in town.  Bv)=  They put me in mind of the
 DD> Wegman's "super" stores, w/mezzanine dining and live music sometimes.

 RH> We don't have the mezzanine dining and live music at our Wegman's, just
 RH> a lot of good foods. (G)

 RH> Our store isn't as big as the one in MD nor as small as the one in
 RH> Newark. Good sized--and busy all the time.

 DD> Weggies are no dummies. They size their stores according to the area's
 DD> demographics. I'm in a twn that is (currently) 120K bodies w/metro
 DD> area more than double that.

I'm not sure what the population of WF is but Wegman's draws in
customers from a wide area. More are being built in the area but none
close enough to draw customers from our store; others are west, south,
east of Raleigh. When the Raleigh store opened, they had the largest
number of customers to ever go thru a store on opening day. They also
had to have Raleigh police at the exits off the Beltline to control the
traffic flow.
