Looks like Acid Reflux and Lipitor pills required pre-dinner

Wow. I really thought I had that one down. Will correct the attribution. And as to the FOOLISH part, so KEY!!! Would have written the post differently if I'd remembered that! I guess the consistency is what stuck with me. Not that one kind of consistency is better than another, which in the case of good, old, consistently performing restaurants, is in fact the case. Thank you to both Josh and Jonathan! And regarding that teacher in Boston -- a twin separated at birth? Mine was in Los Angeles, but maybe THEY went to college together... ... Regarding consistency of BARF: Yep, that's what it looks like. Tastes better. ... Regarding sushi: A) This seems like quite a non sequitur; B) I'm pregnant (must I remind you again ? -- was trying to break myself of that habit), and even though sushi isn't really a risk (see NYT op ed piece: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/15/opinion/15shaw.html), the stuff repulses me at the moment; and C) Do you want sushi in the East Bay? Go to Kirala. Do you disagree? Please tell me your favorite in your comments.

Weird, my high school English teacher quoted that exact line ALL THE TIME. You didn't happen to grow up in suburban Boston, did you?

Julie, to nitpick even further, Emerson writes that "a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds" -- an important distinction.

Hey SFist, sorry to be a stick in the mud today, but that first quotation is from Ralph Waldo Emerson :-)
