Thank you so much! I’ll give that a go. My air fryer sits in the cabinet and I just forget to use it. This will be a good reason for me to remember to use it next time.

I have to ask though since you’ve had experience cooking them in the air fryer… what is your experience like baking them?

I brush olive or peanut oil on them then season with garlic salt and black pepper. I put the temp pretty high to brown the outside and keep the middle slightly tougher so it’s not mushy. I’ve never done the air fryer though and I’m left wondering whether that is just the superior method. Should I air fry them over baking?

Except the title is literally make it count. That is a very convenient way to define it back tracking but I think we both know the intended meaning.

I’d be satisfied to do absolutely nothing with my life, people attributing false definitions of what it is to live poison our happiness.

There is no such thing as doing X. It’s a thing people made up that is ultimately meaningless if it doesn’t make you happy.

There is no predefined achievement for any singular person one can look back upon and agree that it was worth doing. You can only decide that for yourself, and if it were… then let it truly be nothing and relish the peace that accompanies it.

To add on this, they were murdered by political opponents to the previous regime when they came into power. Any lingering family members from previous leaders represented a real threat from which other actors could rally behind.

Those who did not engage in the practice of killing their old political rivals children often came to regret the decision. Unless they were married into the current regimes family tree with the outward notion of unity.

Back when men were men. Men are also men today as well, but he was still a man back then, too.

Interestingly enough, back in this time period, women were also women and boys were boys. We can draw a lot of comparisons today because those same people are alive today and they are still either women, or men, or girls.

Wild stuff to think about.

Thank you for the correction! I did indeed get them mixed up. I still struggle with the extremely long names they accrue throughout their lives.

Wow this is so cool. I love Antoninus and Lucius! The first official co “emperors” in Roman history. Although Antoninus was primed to dawn the purple he demanded of the senate that his brother be able to join him when he took the throne. The senate was afraid of conflict via succession if Antoninus was not granted the request and allowed it to happen. They were extremely different people from each other but worked surprisingly well in tandem.
