The old law of economics' supply and demand is one of those laws that seem to work well all the time. Frankly, after all these years of understanding that fact tires me when the Mills, who don't eat cereal because they have to wash the bowl, are now driving up the cost of celery--that little green vegetable that is hardly any calories without the peanut butter. It seems that they liquefy that water-filled stalk in their Kitchen Aid and drink it for breakfast.

I have eaten celery as a on-the-road snack for years. It's easy to pack. The 10-inch stalk contain about 6 calories. I cut them into 5-6 inch pieces for easier handling while driving. Up until a month ago, my favorite little market sold fresh,crisp stalks for $0.79 to $0.99 on a regular basis. Now, they are getting $2.39, which is about half of the so called organic stores where one had prices at $3.89.
So, I'm already thinking that the dressing for the turkey this year will be without celery. I might have to go to cranberries. I bet grass clippings have some nutritional value and we know it will be green when you kitchen aid that!! Try it Mills! You might like it better than celery!
