stock without celery?

[Triple Zero]

I got a lot of chicken bones saved up in my freezer and I want to make stock tomorrow.

But I forgot to buy celery. I got onions and carrots, but the proper mire-poix also includes celery.

I read a recipe by a guy (that slaughtered his own cock) who just used carrots and onions, though he also added a bunch of garden herbs, which I don't have (except dried ones).

Shall I wait until monday and I can buy celery or shall I make stock tomorrow?

(the reason why I doubted buying celery is cause you can only buy it in large portions, I know, freeze it, I should have)

If you can stand to wait, perhaps you should. 

Why do you have to wait until Monday?

[East Coast Hustle]

You can make it just fine without celery. Also, FYI, celery does not freeze well at all.

Because shops are closed on Sunday, here

I've frozen it quite a few times, wash, chop them up in 3-4 inch sticks and in a ziplock back.

When I get them out I just cut them into really tiny pieces for adding to a sauce or something. Does the flavour degrade when freezing, too? I understand the structure will be fucked up, I wouldn't think of serving them as celery sticks or anything, they'd probably be floppy Just for flavour.
You may be right though, when I added the stuff to sauces, I didnt really notice the flavour.

[East Coast Hustle]

Yeah, if you have a bunch of celery and want to preserve it for later and don't care about what it looks like (using it for flavoring in stock or soup), you're much better off drying it than freezing it.

Celery isn't hot right now sell sell sell

...and look what happened to him.

Celery.  No exceptions.

Another way of preserving it is to cut it into 5" or so long pieces and put in a large container with water in the fridge.  That's why it doesn't freeze well, because it's so full of water itself.  You thaw it and the structural integrity goes to shit.

Also, celery salt is your friend.

OP do not listen to the person suggesting celery salt as a substitution for celery. Just make your stock without it.

It amuses the hell out of me that you're trying to be a cooking troll.

Please, keep it up.  You don't realize how stupid you're making yourself look.

So are you saying celery salt is a good substitution for celery in a stock? Or are you focusing on me because you have nothing to add to the topic at hand?

It's like Chef Diesel without the funny bits.
