When root vegetables attack!

Tonight's culinary challenge: Celeriac Cutlets (celery root, breading, lemon juice, salt & pepper). Certainly nothing in our fridge is scarier than this nobby organic celery root (at the moment). But, dear impossible-to-cut-with-my-cheap-knives vegetable, I salute you, because:
Beauty is but skin deep
Ugly lies the bone;
Beauty dies and fades away,
but ugly holds its own.
