REVIEW: Video Librarian
Chef Tom Small is a soft-spoken, practical teacher (no gimmicks or catchphrases) who here offers effective step-by-step demonstrations of recipes that require no exotic ingredients or difficult techniques. A native Californian who's currently executive chef at a restaurant outside Seattle, Small prepares five antipasti (appetizers), two pasta dishes served as first courses, two entrees, and two desserts in a home-kitchen setting.

Recipes include giardiniera (vegetables pickled in water and vinegar), a beet salad, a mussel salad with olives and oranges, butternut squash lasagna, chicken with lemons and roasted vegetables, pork tenderloin with garlic and sage, flourless chocolate cake, and caramel apple bread pudding. Small also demonstrates simple tips for efficiently chopping vegetables, peeling fruits, and cutting up a whole chicken. Individual recipes may be selected from a menu, and ingredients are listed onscreen (as well as on a text paper insert). The other titles in the Dare to Cook-Seasonal Italian Cuisine series are Spring, Summer, and Fall. Highly recommended. Aud: P. (M. Puffer-Rothenberg) 3.5 of 4 star rating

REVIEW: Library Journal
Dare To Cook, Seasonal Italian Cuisine with Chef Tom Small. Washington State... based chef Tom Small has all the right ingredients to be an outstanding cooking coach: a graceful way of moving about in limited space and using standard equipment; mellow, unhurried speech; and a creative use of ingredients. He here prepares inspired Italian dishes in what looks like his home kitchen and on his outdoor deck. He is a chef who knows what he is doing and can convey it to others in an easy fashion.

Each disc includes a variety of creative recipes for appetizers and salads, entrees, desserts, and drinks appropriate to the featured season as well as a demonstration of special skills. For example, on Summer, he shows how to debone a whole chicken; on Fall, how to make sausage without special equipment. From first to last, this reviewer... a dedicated amateur... wanted to go right to her kitchen to prepare some of his dishes and felt certain she could do so with only one more viewing. Small is a serious, straightforward, and knowledgeable professional and a splendid teacher. This series is highly recommended for academic cooking classes, high school and above, and for public library patrons wanting to expand their kitchen repertoire.... Sheila S. Intner, Prof. Emerita, Simmons GSLIS at Mount Holyoke Coll., So. Hadley, MA DTC01

The squeeker isn't durable, but the balls themselves are.
Color: S6-muti-color, Color: S6-muti-color
I have two 70+lb, ball obsessed dogs (a field bred Golden Retriever, and an Old Time Scotch Collie), and these balls are living up to the abuse they're receiving. In the fall we always lose a ball or two in the yard due to getting lost in leaves or longer grass, so I always try and buy a multi pack at the start of the season, so went with these this year. I'm glad I did. Great price for a 6 pack, they fit the medium Chuck-It launcher (a little loosely, but they throw just fine), have great bounce, they FLOAT (which means I didn't lose any at the beach), and they're super durable to the dreaded "mouth squish." The squeaker dies pretty quick, like, within a day, but it isn't the kind that can fall out or choke your dog, so no worries there. The boys are happy, I'm happy, my wallet is happy - I've already ordered another pack.

Great Value for a ball my dog loves!
Color: S6-muti-color
I wish these ball were in the subscription program! My dog gets sooo excited by the new ball, but her interest in things lasts for a few days. She kills the squeak within 11minutes, but the squeaker stays in place rather than becoming a chocking or swallow hazard, and she still loves to chew it. Next, we must throw the ball approximately 723 times the first day, possibly 496 times on day 2, and just 3- 4 on day 3, at which point she will chase the ball before hollering "it's over here if you need it," while she checks on the chipmunk den. We currently have 17 of these balls in our yard (because we have given several leftovers to a less discriminating doodle next door). These balls hold up really well, get her extremely active for the first couple of days, and are a much cheaper than doggie daycare (after an active morning with a new ball, she is happy to chew on it and sleep much of the day). I always have these on hand!

Pieces chewed off
Color: white & green
My Aussiedoodle loves it. I throw it down the hallway, it bounces crazy, and he chases it. The only complaint is that he can't chew much of the ball part. So now I have to have it put away and brought out for special playtime.
