Preserving celery

Does anybody know if celery would be usable for putting in stuffing after it's been frozen? I've got a bunch I could cut up now for use on Thanksgiving, but I don't know if it will last that long - I know, I know - it doesn't cost all that much, but with nobody else around to eat it, I'd hate to let it go to waste!

Preserving
I like to dehydrate it in my Excalibur Dehydrator. Google it on the net and go there! I use ours constantly. We make killer jerky in it, dehydrate garden produce, especially tomatoes (don't you hate paying those prices at the store for dried tomatoes? I do). Another way you can save that celery is to saute it with your butter, onion and broth, if you want, and put it in a jar and freeze it. That way you have a headstart on Thanksgiving! I like the dehydrator too to dry cranberries and peaches, makes yummy fruit leathers too.
Preserving planet earth
I've begun my own conservation program this week in honor of earth day. I'm starting small...bought my first fluoroscent light and it's not too bad. REplacing my kitchen cleaning products with things like baking soda, whie vinegar, lemon juice and club soda as well as borax. These can be used for various things around the kitchen/bathroom and are much cheaper than store-bought chemical things. Not much but it makes me feel good that I'm doing my share little by little. For simple ideas do a Google search. There are plenty of sites that come up with simple suggestions that we can all do and benefit from.
