...order to learn a little Polish. My potatoes were stationed next to my inevitably fried pork product and mound of shredded cabbage—ostensibly, in order to ease digestion. I remember my first Polish potatoes: simply boiled and garnished with dill. Little did I know how many possibilities lie hidden in those tubers: there are many ways to kill a cat, but even more ways to cook a potato. Polish elementary schools know their potatoes.

...Dylan was a ten-year-old who had "squeezing," "tight" headaches "for years." They hurt so bad that his head had to "lie down," especially in the morning and evening, though they usually improved with Tylenol. There were no obvious warning signs: Dylan's grades were average, he had no history of trauma, no recent illnesses, no fever, no runny nose, no vision problems and no difficulty eating - although he was a very picky eater.
