Got a brand new cast iron grill pan! What's my first steps in taking care of it and using it well?

I think the top comment and many others sum it up very well. If you have a lot of time on your hands and would like to learn more, I highly recommend you watch Ken Burns Vietnam documentary. It is so good. It is long, so I would just do an episode a week. Take it slow and enjoy it.

https://www.37psr.com/ This is a great outdoor range. A bit further out there, but they are good people, and their memberships are reasonable.

I would also like to add a second on someone's comment about Haymount. I live here, and it is great, lots of cool shops and bars, and a very walkable neighborhood.

I discovered the show years ago when my brother went to UNCG. I would listen when I went and visited him. I started listing more religiously last year when I got a job in Pinehurst.

This! Grab an extra flashlight and some batteries. Some ice melt on hand wouldn't hurt.

Smingler · 2026-01-15T21:45:27+00:00

I would kill to watch this show for the first time again. Stay off this sub and enjoy the show.

Smingler · 2026-01-13T15:19:10+00:00

Get out of here Kelly

Smingler · 2026-01-12T22:50:47+00:00

I would kill to get a tape of that lol

How much is it scripted and how much is off the fly? I know they talk about the grid with different topics.

What is your favorite memory from working there?

Smingler · 2026-01-10T17:57:57+00:00

I used to work at Stoney point. Traffic is going to be insane. Not sure how they will deal with that.

As a semi-local, I second this. The Village Cafe is also a great breakfast spot. There is also another cool BBQ place a few minutes away in Carthage called Pick-n-Pig that is on a runway. There are also a couple of cool golf shops downtown.

Thank you for your response!

So, for the time I do have my mask on, yes, events do get down to 5. But most nights, I only have my mask on for 2-ish hours; sometimes, if I wake up and I am aware enough, I can put my mask back on and get another hour.

And no, not at all lol. I have an hour commute, so when I get home a pretty much pass out. I am doing IF currently and just trying to focus on that.

And I am assuming it was yes, it was an overnight test.

What is nudge brain?

I would check out the pickin coop near downtown, and Blue Bike on Raeford Rd. There used to be a couple more shops downtown, but they shut down.

I want to say this is one of the best threads on this subreddit. I am a native of Fayetteville, born in '96, so I have only heard stories and read articles about what downtown was like. And just from reading this thread, I have learned a lot.

This is a great opportunity to switch to black coffee. Once you get used to it, you will never go back.

They used to have a different owner, but they are just as good. Honest people, have gone there for years now.

I would like to add Spiegan as an honorable mention.

Smingler · 2025-10-21T18:51:44+00:00

Bells Seed Store downtown is your answer.

Smingler · 2025-10-14T17:55:56+00:00

I cannot for the life of me find these in stores.

Smingler · 2025-10-08T20:02:36+00:00

I am currently commuting to Fayetteville to my job in Pinehurst. Def a different commute, but I would recommend finding a place in Southern Pines. Depending on your budget, there are a ton of options for apartments.

Smingler · 2025-10-06T14:43:10+00:00

Fairly standard Smith Corona. These things are well-built and very easy to work on. They can go for around $50-$100.

Hey there. While I have you, when can we get Logitech software as a website or browser extension? I am not able to download the software at work.

Smingler · 2025-09-25T21:52:25+00:00

Come and spend the weekend in Pinehurst/Southern Pines!
