or Bunnicula?
I feel like celery is an impostor vegetable. I was eating a celery stalk today, and I realized it was probably a waste of my time. Does celery have any important vitamins to offer? I just feel like it's not green enough to have any. It's like crunchy water.
Anyway, have you ever read The Celery Stalks at Midnight? I can't remember the premise of this children's chapter book exactly, but it was weird.

sometimes I wonder if you realize how funny you are. I laughed out loud at the very first sentence of the post. i like the way you operate.
but Alexis, you are a CB!
I find it funny that you are saying this now. You were the Grothe child who wouldn't eat any lettuce other than iceberg. I believe I even argued with you that all iceberg was, was crunchy water. I guess you just enjoy crunchy water.
Ok, so I've also wondered if celery really has anything worth while to offer us. So I decided to google it and here's something interesting I found: "One cup of diced celery provides 344.4 milligrams of potassium, 34 micrograms of folate, 2 grams of fiber, 19 calories, and less than 0.16 grams of fat." In case you're really keeping track...
the thing is - I have absolutely no idea how much folate or fiber I am supposed to be getting
man, i think i was subconciously convinced that i actually like celery after reading your blog...but i tried it today, and not even peanut butter could save it!
on a side note, i think the bag mentioned it had some vitamin c.
i'm pretty sure a serving of celery has 2 grams of unsaturated trans fatty acids, too.
Ohh celery, take it or leave it. Incidentally, Bunnicula, and its sequel were about a new pet rabbit in the household. Suddenly, the vegetables were drained of their color with two suspicious holes in their skin as the only clue to what happened and the other household pets had to solve the mystery. If they read the title they would have known, but then I guess there wouldn't have been much of a story. It would have been
"oh the vegetables look like they've been attacked by a vampire"
"well duh, the rabbit's named Bunnicula"
"oh right, you eating that piece of celery?"
"nah, it's just crunchy water, you can have it"
