All you have to know about celery is that it’s made up of 95% water, and it’s 100% not pizza.

I thought it was time for a fun Musing. And this quote, I couldn’t agree with more.
When I was a kid, my Mum would make healthy food; salads and the like. In the salad there were always radishes, (I still don’t get them!) and in a separate bowl were sticks of celery.
Honestly, the taste! Blegh!
But pizza now; oh yeah!
Next time you buy a bunch of celery read the plastic wrap. The celery sold here are from USA or Australia and it labels sugar content. Let me know if you see itπ

Oh, this is awesome. Also, celery exists solely as a method by which to fill my body with things I actually want to eat. Namely, ranch dressing and peanut butter. Not at the same time, though.

Raddish and celery I don’t mind, but what the heck is lettuce all about? Definitely go for pizza every time though (if the chip shop is shut) π

Lettuce tastes like metal to me! I have to force it down. So glad it is nearly winter, and I can forget about salad for a few months! π

I make homemade pizza twice a week. The way i make it is super easy and (actually) rather healthy and very tasty.
I put 3 very flat tortilla (whole wheat) discs on a pizza pan. Then no salt tomato sauce is poured over it. Then Kraft non-fat mozzarella cheese is sprinkled on with pieces of low-fat stick cheese here and there. Then 2 to 3 tablespoons of canola oil is sprinkled over the cheese; it improves the taste and is way healthier than the regular fat that cheese has. Then i put on toppings… usually just green olive halves and oregano spice. I eat broccoli as a side dish when i eat this.
My parrots go nuts over pizza, but (of course) you can’t give them much!

I cook a lot with celery and love its crispy crunch. A little peanut butter goes well with it.

You can defeat celery by filling the stick with ketchup, Mayo or salad cream as I used to do. Thinking on it I might as well have thrown the celery away and replaced it with chips.
