Reduce heat to medium, and cook 10 minutes or until celery is tender; drain well. Add butter to celery; cook over low heat until butter melts. Add flour, stirring until smooth. Cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually add half and half; cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, just until mixture is thickened and bubbly.
