[2]Celery Straws
Duda Farm Fresh Foods [3] (under the Dandy brand) has introduced the amazing “celery straws [4]” in Canada. This is a naturally occurring mutation of wild celery that has a hollow core, making it ideal as a straw for a Bloody Mary. Don’t you wish they sold them here in the U.S.? I plan to bug my local produce guy. Can we get a movement afoot to bring celery straws to America?

[5]We nicknamed mine “Everything But the Kitchen Sink.” With that cute little fork stuck in the olive, it really looks like a meal, doesn’t it? Chunks of cheese, a grape, and olive are skewered in front, and a pickled carrot, green bean and pickle are skewered behind. Those are wasabi peas floating on top. And it is half-rimmed with chili salt and half-rimmed with lime salt. Yeah.
