Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
I guessed at the celery amount, the recipe states "All tender celery" and when I measured, it was about 1/2 to 3/4 c if you took it from a fresh celery stalk.

One year, David made this, and cooked it too long, so the sauce went hard, and my mom remembers that as a fond memory, and after reminds everyone not to boil the sauce too long!
