Celery

[2dimes]

I'm eating two stalks at the same time, neat.

[riskllama]

dude, you're a savage.

[2dimes]

Yeah a fat one.

I rode my daughter's bike today and yesterday too. We mounted it on a stand and I can do five minutes pretty easily provided I have some entertainment. Otherwise I can only ride around half a minute thinking it's been much longer.

My daughter makes me buy celery so she can dip it into peanut butter... its actually quite good

I also use it in all my beef stews and pumpkin soup

You can't be fat. Only murikanz are fat.

Read it here. Hazza be tru.

[2dimes]

Don't be silly. The only reason I have not been in the USA eating at Sonic, Sizzler, Jack n the box and Golden Corral for over a year is because the border is closed. Also lots of people think I'm a murikan.

I am in the process of getting checked out on a different plane. The instructor asked my weight, I can still fit in the little airplane but I'm running out of available numbers on our scale here.

Ballsy, raw celery.

5 Healthy Benefits of Adding Celery to Your Diet

https://www.healthline.com/health/food-nutrition/health-benefits-of-celery#1.-Celery-is-a-great-source-of-important-antioxidants.

At just 10 calories a stalk, celery’s claim to fame may be that it’s long been considered a low-calorie “diet food.”

But crispy, crunchy celery actually has a number of health benefits that may surprise you. Here are five reasons you should consider adding celery to your diet, plus a few recipes to make it easy.

1. Celery is a great source of important antioxidants.
Antioxidants protect cells, blood vessels, and organs from oxidative damage.

Celery contains vitamin C, beta carotene, and flavonoids, but there are at least 12 additional kinds of antioxidant nutrients found in a single stalk. It’s also a wonderful source of phytonutrients, which have been shown to reduce instances of inflammation in the digestive tract, cells, blood vessels, and organs.

Plus after you try to eat it for a few days it tastes horrible.

Yesterday I ate some and had four potato chips ready as a reward for powering through it.

Celery adds a nice crunch to salads and foods. It is a bit stringy for me in a salad, so I tend to eat it plain and by itself. Peanut butter and cheese gets away from the entire dieting mode, to me. I like the aroma in soups and such dishes.

And at this time of year, it is easier to find at the grocery stores. I guess people start to diet and add celery to their menu.

I can it it raw and plain for about 3 days, then it gets "old" in taste and less crisp and less satisfying to me.

I had heard years ago (before internet) that celery had "negative calories" as it took more energy to digest its fibrous contents than was present in the food. I guess that is not true.

Yeah, I'm eating it because I need to snack. Wife said put cheese wizz on it. I figure adding anything will defeat the purpose.

[mookiemcgee]

I get an allergic reaction in my mouth when I eat raw celery, but have no issues when it's cooked. Same problem with raw apple and carrots.

f*ck Celery

[riskllama]

cheez whiz is kind of disgusting, about the only way i'll eat it is on celery.

[2dimes]

I like cheese whiz on toast sometimes. Last time I put it on celery it was kind of disappointing. I definately don't know who is buying those big jars.

[riskllama]

lol, we were shutting down the rig for break up & it was our last night in camp so we were all naturally very drunk & we decided it would be a good idea to pillage the kitchen. i ended up w/2 of those big jars you are referring to. didn't even make it through one & ended up giving the other one away...

[Dukasaur]

Back when I still ate that kind of garbage I'd have no trouble going through a jar of Cheese Whiz in a day. The stuff is addictive.

I haven't eaten it in years, but that's because it commits so many nutritional crimes, not because of the taste.

---------I chop celery up and put it in tuna fish sandwiches...Before my daughters eat all the celery with peanut butter

[2dimes]

Yeah it is ok as an ingredient.

How? Did you just sit down with a spoon and start shoveling until it was gone?

Yeah, pretty much. Actually I would usually approach it with a knife with some vague idea of making a sandwich, but then end up skipping the bread and just eating the cheese with the knife.

But it's also a decent dip for vegetables. Just take a celery or a carrot or a parsnip and dip it right in. Which I suppose brings us full circle to the point of this thread.

[2dimes]

Huh, I should boil up some parsnips and investigate. I have boiled carrots in the fridge for snacking. They're pretty good. Probably lower in calories than potato chips.

I'm struggling to avoid burgers and pizza. Managed to cut back significantly.

The only safe way to eat pizza is to just eat the topics. Throw the bread part directly in the garbage.

Ditto for the burgers. Not the best food there is, but as long as you throw the bun in the garbage the rest of the toppings are mostly healthy. Well, not ketchup, of course, but assuming you top them with Lettuce, pickles, jalapenos, HP Sauce and mayonnaise, that's all mostly good stuff. Just make sure you eat Jello afterwards. Sugar-free, of course.

[2dimes]

Yeah yeah, you're a glutonist...

Though I would eat your crazy lettuce wrap burger. Solid condiment choices there. I'm adding tomato and onion though.
