Seems like a lot of not-that-common skills for a mere 35 points...

Adleman kings is a heck of a great choice.

For me it was the Larry Bird coaching era of the Indiana Pacers...

My all time favorite coach's 1st stint with Indy (Rick Carlisle as an assistant) coaching my all time favorite non-Piston: Reggie Miller

Here's a fun NBA question: not including past teams of the franchise you're a fan of, what was your favorite team to watch of all time?

For me, my favorite non-Timberwolves team to watch were the Adelman Kings. No team has ever had a prettier half court offense

Been a while since I've tried Google Maps... Does it also do hyper specific stuff like this?

I tried to get a little too fancy and grind my own cinnamon from sticks using my coffee grinder... Did not work... If I had still had my mortar and pestle, I could've started it in there and finished in the grinder... But, alas, she broke years ago, and I haven't had the heart to replace her...

Guys, PSL at home is so dang easy!

Just get some:
🎃pre-made pumpkin spice (or make your own if you can't buy)
🎃sweetened condensed milk
🎃cheap instant coffee
🎃whipped cream
🎃cheap vanilla

➕ a cheap handheld milk frother

You can figure out your own ratios based on your personal tastes.

I over salted the crust...
But the guests loved the pie...
Ate the whole thing...
*and* the 10 year old finished all my pumpkin pie spice in their lattes...
So I made a fresh batch of pumpkin pie spice...

One day short of 2 lunar years...
Tonight and tomorrow marks Shmini Atzeret aka Simḥat Torah...
And it will mark the literal "Day After"...
Mixed emotions...
Some relief...
Honestly didn't expect anyone else to make it home...
But they are home...
