Wrapped around shredded carrots that have been marinated in balsamic vinegar. So good.

The United States of Pizza: Iowa

By the way, I can vouch for Casey's pizza. It's available across the state, not just in Ankeny. You can fill up the gas tank and buy pizza by the slice, or a whole pizza. The breakfast pizza, especially with bacon, is addictive. You probably don't want to know what all is on it, but it's good.

Zeno's in Marshalltown is excellent, though almost prohibitively expensive. Family-owned joint that's been around forever; they offer thin crust and only thin crust. It's delicious, though I wish it weren't so expensive (~$25 for a supreme pie).

Poll: Are You Joining a CSA This Year?

@svehsa

I'm in the same boat - one person in an apartment, but I purchased a half-share this year, meant for 1-2 people. It comes out to about $9 a week from June through September. I finally found a CSA near me after two years of searching, so I'm excited to get started.

SmashBurger Is Smashingly Good

I was really excited when one of these opened up near my home. Unfortunately, I didn't like it as much as the author did. The burger was excessively, unpalatably salty and overpowered everything else. It was disappointing.

The fries, with garlic and rosemary, were good, but were also dealt a heavy hand of salt.

Have You Ever Deep Fried a Turkey for Thanksgiving?

I've had fried turkey. It was OK, but seemed to defy all laws of physics as the breast was remarkably dry.
