Celery Saver

Did you know that wrapping your stalk of celery in aluminium foil extends its life?  Really - this works great!  The stalk seen below is several weeks old and as good as new.  I used the heavy duty foil to wrap the stalk  only because I had it on hand and it withstands the constant opening and closing of the packet as I take out a stalk or two.  Try it - it works! No more soggy celery, no more having to prop up soft stalks in a glass of water to revive them.  I did cut off the bottom of the stalk before I wrapped it, but I don't know if this was necessary.
