Beef Noodle Soup

"Beef noodle soup. According to the Balkan myth mill two things keep one in tip-top shape – staying away from the draft and a good (daily) soup. Staying away from the all powerful draft is questionable, and it seems to affect people based on the depth of their own beliefs regarding the draft. My sister, for example, sits near an open window for 2 minutes and the next day has a full blown migraine slash pneumonia. On the other side of the spectrum, I knew a Norwegian girl who came to class with wet hair every morning, rain, snow, apocalypse or shine, and she’s still doing excellently. She squashed the myth for me forever."
