.. from this day in 2021 --- when out shopping at a local market, I saw and purchased a fresh, locally-grown, whole, large stalk of celery being sold with the leaves still attached. A very unfamilair sight, and I sure wanted one. I guess with my loud 'yeah' upon seeing and picking up one, the woman working and arranging the produce displays was so delighted to see my expression, she offered me (at no extra cost) a large bag full of some more broken stems and leaves, which I welcomed and graciously accepted, and came home with celery "delights" to use and enjoy for now and later (much of the leaf greenery was frozen for use over time, it sure worked well, and was so enjoyed).
