What's the best way to get the gallery list items to be equal height?

Nick seems to have paragraphs that all line up neatly with two lines of text on mobile - but what if some paragraphs are longer than others? This extends the height of the li, which messes with the alignment of the gallery.

My usual way of doing this would be to set a min-height in pixels on the li:

<code>

gallery li {

float: left;
width: 45%;
margin: 2.5%;
min-height: 200px;
background-color: #f5f5f5;
color: #bdc3c7;

} </code>

I know that frameworks like Foundation have an equalize class that helps set equal height - but is there a "correct" way of doing it in a scenario like this?

Absolutely. I guess I was getting ahead of myself. Thanks!
