NOODLES)
As a hardcore Colombian from the mountains of Bogotá,
my wife claims that she could live on soup alone. My
naturally inquisitive mind is plagued by the strong urge to
rigorously test this claim, but every time I decide to force

reminds me that life just wouldn’t be as fun without her,
souporno.She,comingfromarice-eatingcountry,prefers

superior egg noodle. I have generations of Jewish
grandmothers on my side, but she has thetrump card of
Maurice Sendak—though I do like to point out that had
there been more words in the English language that rhyme
