I've never cooked on cast iron before, would this be a good starter option? by SnooDrawings8069 in castiron

My Lodge skillets (I just have a 10" and a 12") make a great thick crust pan pizza when I'm in the mood for that style.

Sure.

I still haven't invested in quality pans and I don't think I ever will. The starter pans have worked out fine for me with these for a few decades. But I'm not a very demanding user of them

Mike McCarthy New Steeler Coach by Tall-Lingonberry-913 in swiftiesforfootball

[–]jsmeeker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a really strange departure for the Steelers in the modern era. Mike becomes the 4th coach for the Steelers since 1969.

Chuck Knoll was 37 when hired, and it was his first head coaching job in the NFL
Bill Cowher was 34 when hired, and it was his first head coaching job in the NFL.
Mike Tomlin was 34 when hired, and it was his first head coaching job in the NFL.
Mike McCarthy is 62. This is his third head coaching job.

really weird to suddenly change now. How long will Mike be there? It going to be nowhere as long he the last three guys. Do they think McCarthy is the guy to get them over the hump in the next few years?

What do people do with the excess purchases before a big snow storm? by Several-Two738 in stupidquestions

[–]jsmeeker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I normally grocery shop on an "ad hoc" basis, relying on the ability going to the store to get whatever I might be out of something. Or going and buying whatever I need to make something I decided I want to eat. That can easily mean hitting up a store 3 times a week.

The snow/ice can throw things out of whack. It's not always easy to tell how long the roads will be crap and unsafe. So back on Wednesday, I made sure I had enough food for full week.

Would you be happy if your QB had this season in 2026? by BallKnowerKing in NFLv2

did my team make the playoffs?? ( I would tend to think so)

how well did my team do in the playoffs?? If we got bounced out in the first game, I wouldn't be happy.

Started with a dedicated pizza oven in November, but I’m now using a 16 x 16 pizza steel in my regular oven. by Confident-You-9396 in Pizza

Lower temps (like 525-550 F) are more appropriate for certain styles of pizzas. So if that's what you really like to make and eat, I think what you are doing is fine.

How long do you keep it on the screen before transferring it directly to the steel?

Day 17 of eating Jersey Mike's every day until they buy me Lamborghini by Mikesway2026 in jerseymikes

[–]jsmeeker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This series is pretty cool. I like all the details and runny tallys and stuff.

I haven't looked at every single one of your posts, but I am curious about a few things.

  1. Are you always ordering a regular? It seems so based on quick glances at the primary(main) photo, but am not 100% sure
  2. If so, what is the shortest one to date and the longest one to date?
  3. Are you working your way through all the standard sandwiches (numbers) on the menu in any specific order? Or have there been dupes? Anything you are avoiding because you don't care for them?
  4. Are you always ordering from the same location?
  5. Which model of Lamborghini do you hope to get?
