TJ, First off, congrats on your first piece of cast iron! Once you get the hang of CI, you will never look at a teflon coated pan again...your pan will last all your life, all your kid's life, and well into your grandkids lives, and beyond. I have skillets that are 110+ years old that cook like they came off the shelf yesterday.
For new pieces, stick with foods that are nice and greasy for the first several many cooks....even though your Lodge is pre-seasoned, you need to maintain that seasoning and keep building layers. Avoid anything acidic for a long time, or you'll be re-seasoning in no time.
Mr. Lampes potatoes look like a nice option. I recommend cornbread....go buy a bag of cornmeal and cook several batches of ultra greasy bread.....feed it to the birds, they'll love you. Cornmeal is cheap, and it builds an awesome layer up the sides of the pan as well.
