To go with their bloody Mary? But I could never understand why anyone would
wnt to ruin the taste of that or Bufalo wings with celery.

Sorry Jeff, but as you may have forgotten, it's one calorie to raise one gram
of
water one degree C, however, it's one Kilocalorie (Cal) in human consumptin
terms. this means that it takes .37 Cal to raise 1 gram of mostly water
dessert
by 37 C.....By the way, why would anyone eat celery for dessert??
