  • Dad's donated liver saves son's life

    Pamela Lannom|Updated Apr 27, 2023

    From the time Dan Janowick's son Will was diagnosed with biliary atresia when he was 3 weeks old, they knew he would need a liver transplant. They just didn't know when. The Kasai procedure he underwent at 4 weeks to bypass his blocked bile ducts and connect his liver directly to his small intestine was successful - but it's not a cure, said Janowick, executive director of The Community House in Hinsdale. "They explained it that a third of the kids who have the Kasai procedure...

  • Sharing joy with lemon blackberry cupcakes

    Homemade cake is one of life's great joys - something that should be enjoyed on more than just special occasions. Making time to bake is a wonderful way to celebrate the everyday.

Mention the word cupcake and my daughters will run to the kitchen. All the measuring and mixing is worth it for a...

    Watching "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" at Northbrook Court in 2002, I did not understand why the line, "I'm going to the Jewel," drew howls of laugher from the rest of the theater. It wasn't funny. None of the characters on screen laughed. But, the people around me roared. They were laughing because it was real. That insignificant little article in front of the grocery chain was how people in Chicago talked. They got it right! All those laughs were little "That's us!" high fives...
