You can find celery at most grocery stores and farmers markets, and you may also encounter it in some gardens. For the freshest celery, consider buying a locally-grown product. You can find pre-packaged celery, but it may have been shipped from who-knows-where, stored for who-knows-how-long, and sprayed with who-knows-how-many pesticides. Buy a whole stalk of celery. Make sure that the stalk is light green, firm, and unblemished. If the stalk is whitish, soft, or cracked it may be going bad; if the leaves are wilted, choose a fresher stalk. If you're looking for a quick and convenient snack, consider buying a package of pre-cut celery sticks. Again, pre-packaged sticks may not be as fresh as whole-stalk, locally-grown celery, but they take less work to prepare if you're in a hurry. Celery is a Mediterranean plant, and it grows best in temperate climates with temperatures between 59 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Celery is a long-season crop, and it may be difficult to grow in areas with brief summers. The seeds sprout best when they are sprouted indoors. You should be able to find a package of celery seeds at a local nursery or garden-supply store. You may be able to harvest wild celery seeds; refer to botanical field guides, or ask a friend who grows celery in her garden. If you grow your own celery, you can collect the seeds and use them as seasoning. With care and planning, you can ensure that you will have a consistent supply of celery from year to year. Use fresh, running water, but don't use soap or detergent. There's a chance that commercially-grown celery has been sprayed with pesticides and other chemicals, and a thorough rinsing can remove many potential contaminants. Washing can also reduce the risk of contracting any number of food-borne illnesses. You may store celery in the crisper drawer, in a well-sealed plastic bag, or in a bowl or jar with the end of the stalk submerged in a bit of water to keep it fresh. When properly stored, fresh (whole) celery should last 3-4 weeks past the printed sell-by date; pre-packaged celery should last 2-3 days past the printed date; and cooked celery should last up to one week after it is cooked. Celery is not always sold with an expiration date. Use your intuition: if the stalk is whitish, soft, cracked, or wilted, it may be going bad. If you won't use your celery before four weeks have passed, consider freezing it and thawing it out when you need it. If you buy a whole, fresh stalk of celery, cut off the leaves at the top; compost the leaves or put them out with the trash. If you will be dipping the celery into a sauce or condiment, chop the stalk into pieces ranging from 3-4 inches in length. If you are cooking with celery or mixing it into a salad, chop it into smaller, bite-sized pieces, or dice it finely.

You can address it to a different person if you are asked to, though. Make sure to write down your contact information and phone number at the end so the employer can get in touch with you. You can also send an acceptance letter to the employer. Your future employer may already know that you've accepted the job, so don't ramble on about how good of a fit you are and what you can offer the company. They know this by now if they offered you the position. If you're not sure what to write, look up some examples or templates online. In your email, you'll want to include the following: Thanks and appreciation for the opportunity Direct acceptance of the job offer Starting date of employment Because it's sometimes tough to recall every single detail of the job before you've actually started it, you may need to ask your contact questions about your future employment. Don't feel like you're being too forward. This is expected by the employer. These questions can include, but are not limited to: Questions about supervisors and/or who you'll be reporting to. Questions about work eligibility and/or visa requirements if accepting a job overseas. This may not be applicable, but it is good to let them know if there will be any conflicts. You don't want to surprise them after you've started the job. Be sure to remind your liaison of any dates you will not be able to work on because you scheduled something before you accepted the position. For example, if you agreed to travel across the country for your grandfather's 80th birthday two weeks after your start date, inform your liaison that you won't be able to work those days because of a prior scheduling conflict Finally, you can say "yes" to the offer. Congratulations! You can say something like "I would be happy to accept this position." Or, "I'm thrilled to accept the offer and become a team member." Make sure that your email is well-written and that you've proofread it for typos and grammatical errors. Even though you already have been offered the job, you want to make sure all your correspondence is professional. They likely won't revoke the offer due to a few grammatical errors, but it could be embarrassing.
