Consistency

It is often said that Consistency is the hallmark of success. Or one of the hallmarks of success. I have recently noticed that while cooked spinach has the consistency of a baby's hair while you're washing it in the little baby tub in the kitchen sink, Uncooked spinach has the consistency of lettuce. I wonder how that change from uncooked spinach to cooked spinach affects the success of the dinner you are preparing. Curious isn't it?
