Re: Stupid things that piss you off...

When a recipe calls for one rib of celery.

I'm not spending more to buy a small container of pre-chopped celery than an entire bunch, so I guess I'm buying the entire bunch and using one rib. With most other ingredients I can figure out how to use them up pretty easily but not celery. If I'm making soup for this week's lunches and the soup only needs one rib of celery... what do I do? Make seven other kinds of soup that each only need one rib? Make stir fry when I already have soup for lunch? I think the celery and/or soup people are in league with the hummus people because if I have to buy a bunch of celery to get one rib for a recipe, I'm inevitably buying a tub of hummus to eat the rest of the celery with.

TL;DR making a recipe that calls for one rib of celery should be illegal.

I wash, chop and stick the extra celery in a freezer bag for future recipes. It's easy enough to break off approximately one rib's worth of chopped celery and if it's for soup, the soggy texture isn't a problem.

If you boil it very briefly then cool it then freeze it, it won't go soggy. The quick boil denatures the enzymes that otherwise continue to break it down in the freezer.

My freezer is way to small to store all the stuff everyone suggests storing in the freezer.

As someone who lives in a 1 bedroom apartment with half the living room turned into a closet-sized second bedroom, I got a very small deep freeze about a year ago and IMO it's worth the space it takes up.

If you just can't afford it, I get it. But if a lack of freezer space is something that you're frustrated by, and you can afford the $150 for a small deep freeze, in my experience it's worth doing.
