Hurray! The Great Celery Famine of '07 is over and we survived.
For more than 2 months, GS Mart, Kim's Club and HomEver have been out of celery every time I was shopping. Thanksgiving is coming up and the lack was getting serious. Ya just gotta have celery for the turkey dressing AND pimento cheese stuffed celery. Ya just gotta.
So I was relieved to find some celery at Kim's Club tonight. A few packages were full size celery stalks but most were midget size.
(I've been thinking a herd of crazed rabbits swept through the celery fields of wherever Korea gets its celery.) |

Don't be too pleased just yet...
I wanted to make some chicken'n dumpling soup the other day and picked up some celery, but I was kinda pissed when I went to put it in the soup. It was limp as a...well...it was just limp and soggy like it had been throughly frozen and then put out to be sold. Bad luck or piss-poor storage I guess. |

| I feed my guinea pig celery regularly. I usually find it at the big farmers/wholesale market. Sometimes it's really cheap 3,000 won for a huge box and at other times it is a bit more expensive. Usually though it is about 1,000/stalk. Today we couldn't find celery very cheap, but got loads of parsly. Well, she likes that too. |

I make my own. I have clam juice and use either V8 (Homeplus sells it now!) or McIllhenney's Tabasco Bloody Mary Mix. I mix it close to 1:2 (clam:V for a decent enough homemade clamato. |

| Everytime I've bought celery that wasn't from Costco it had a slug in it. Every. Single. Time. I would check each bunch and even though they looked clean, I'd get home, and there'd be a nasty slug. I'll never buy celery outside of Costco again. |

Does it taste good? Sorry for all the questions - but just one more. Where do you get clam juice? Do you make your own?
Ok - that was 2 questions. |

It's better than I would have thought, and put into a caesar,you can't really tell the difference, especially after a couple in the gullet  I buy the clam juice. Usually from home, and have it shipped here. The bottles are small enough that they are much less expensive than sending over full bottles of clamato.
I saw clam juice a couple of times in a foreign market in Haebonchon(sp?), and have had a GI buddy get me clamato from the PX a couple times, too. |

| Sure, if you don't mind paying $7.00 for a regular-size bunch, which is what it goes for in Homever. |
