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. Cake in my mind is a gift to be shared. This is one of the reasons that I love cupcakes. They are every bit as delicious as a large frosted cake and much easier to decorate and share. 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...

John Cordogan was touring Hinsdale Middle School shortly after moving to town last summer when he stepped in the choir room and immediately noticed the piano. "It didn't take long for me to know they needed a new piano - I could see from across the room they needed a new piano," said Cordogan, who owns Cordogan's Pianoland with his sister, Dianthe.

Plummeting down the rabbit hole of fantasy with a tardy white rabbit was a first for many Hinsdale readers when the library acquired a copy of "Alice in Wonderland" around the turn of the century. The best-selling novel was one of the first books to grace the shelves of Hinsdale's then newly minted library. Roughly 125 years later, the Hinsdale Junior Woman's Club hopes to take guests on a similar Queen of Hearts-inspired adventure. In order to raise money for several...
Clarendon Hills Middle School art teacher Michael Bale embraces opportunities to display his own work. "Mostly because it motivates me to make stuff that otherwise I would put off," he said. So when the request came to be part of the Faculty Art Exhibit at The Community House, Bale produced two charcoal drawings to turn up the creative energy level both for him and, hopefully, his students. "I show my work as frequently as I can, and whenever I get an invitation I just say, 'Y...

Years ago, when I first moved to Hinsdale from Texas, I was curious to know what my new friends loved to eat. I would often ask people what they thought was best "Chicago food." The most popular answers were deep-dish pizza, Italian beef and hot dogs. But if I were to ask myself that question after living here for seven years, I would say that I love Chicago's family style Italian dishes. One of my favorites is chicken Vesuvio. I first tasted it a Paul Virant's Vistro and...

Of the three primary theater disciplines - acting, singing and dancing - BAMtheatre artistic director Melanie Lamoureaux knew dance was an area where her young troupe needed to step it up. So earning the top Freddie G Excellence in Dance award at last weekend's Junior Theater Festival West in Sacramento, Calif., was a showstopper. "We generally have students who can sing very well and act very well," Lamoureaux said. "This year it was really our goal to perfect every single mo...
This time of year always seems like a good time for a mental health PSA. It can start to feel like there's no end in sight to the cold and dreary days, leaving many feeling low in mood.

As we hopefully continue to progress in this direction, the following can be helpful to keep in mind: • Things aren't always as they look. Despite my professional und...

"Big Mike" Sirin already has the wet ingredients working in the mixer when I arrive Monday afternoon to learn how to make Page's famous apple cider doughnuts.

"I'll finish," he says, noting the mix still needs more flour. "I've got to do that by eye," he explains. Sirin is one of four people at Page's who make these popular treats, owner...
