My husband and I have a rare weekend off together with no plans. He suggested we go for a drive in the country, so we decided to head north and check out the Edgewood Locker. Because of the wet fall, there are still quite a few crops in the fields and lots of tractors on the roads, so there was lots of activity to see on the drive.
The place was hoppin' when we arrived. Outside was a chalk board advertising a special on Brats. The first meal I remember eating in Iowa was grilled Brats (aka Bratwurst), so for me, they have a special connection to this state. We didn't need 48, but we did get some Sweet Onion, Pineapple, and of course Cranberry & Wild Rice for the holidays.
The store had all kinds of meats and cheeses, and they were very reasonably priced. We ended up coming home with Ranch Cheese Curds, Smoked Pork Chops, an assortment of ham and beef sticks, and lots of other meats for the freezer.
Here's my dear husband carrying all of our wares (the freezer bags from Aldi's are perfect for keeping road trip foods cold).
All-in-all a very relaxing drive resulting in lots of fun new foods to try.
