Blanch it first, Terry.
Since I usually buy the thinner stalk, I blanch for 2 minutes in boiling water, then shock it in a bowl of cold water with fresh water running through it for 2 minutes (I never have ice on hand). Thick stalk is 4 minutes.
Then I set the stalks on a paper towel to drain and cut them into bite size pieces, because I like that size when adding it to dishes likes eggs goldenrod or ham and scalloped potatoes. It will cook in a few minutes after it's thawed and taste like fresh. Put them on a half sheet to freeze before putting them in a bag so they don't all stick together. I use a vaccum bag. It will work for whole stalks, too, but if I take a handful out and reseal the bag, the vaccum action will crack and break some, so now I just freeze them cut up when I buy extra.
No, FM;
I have an older son, Gunny Sgt. in the Marine Corps; two beautiful granddaughters- you can check out pics at my profile page.
THX, everyone, for your warm wishes............. Dinner went well........ Prime Rib cuts were HUGE, Jerry, HUGE !
There were serving bowls of Roasted vegetables on each table, provided by management gratis, which I thought was nice of 'em...... the tilapia was carb "Imperial"-stuffed, but a very nice portion. Warden's Veal Parm hung off both sides of the plate !!
My grand-daughters, (3 and 6) are in charge of the petals tomorrow, so they were participants in the rehearsal...... amazing how the three-year-old patiently followed instructions, and stood quietly when necessary... she made up for it at the dinner tho'; she went from quest to guest, climbing up on laps and ripping off the little tomatoes from everyboby's salad !
