In this first English-language book of Nicaraguan cooking (and indeed, the only one available in any language), Trudy Espinoza-Abrams has dug deep into her childhood in Granada, Nicaragua and sifted through the countless hours spent in her grandmother's kitchen and her aunt's restaurant to come up with a comprehensive guide to Nicaraguan cooking, recipes, ingredients, and food preparation techniques that is both easy to follow and reliably produces excellent and delicious results, even for inexperienced cooks. The book contains many recipes, divided into sections on Breakfast, Salads, Appetizers, Soups, Main Dishes, Side Dishes, Vegetables, Sauces, Desserts, and Drinks. Included are all the famous dishes of Nicaragua, such as Sopa de Carne (Beef Soup), Vaho (Steamed Vegetables with Beef), Plato de Tortuga (Turtle Stew), Nacatamal (Corn & Pork Tamale), Vigoron (Yucca with Pork), Gallo Pinto (Red Beans & Rice), Bunuelos (Cassava Patties with Syrup), Sopa Borracha (Drunken Soup), and many dozens of other traditional Nicaraguan dishes eaten daily in thousands of homes throughout the country. A Glossary of the Spanish-language food terms used in the book is included, as well as a section of food preparation tips. In addition, sprinkled throughout the book are Ms. Espinoza-Abrams' recollections of her grandmother and early life in Nicaragua. Ms. Espinoza-Abrams is already an accomplished writer, having authored the popular Medical Spanish Made Ridiculously Simple (MedMaster, 1992), now in its second edition after having sold over 10,000 copies.Binding Type: Paperback

Squeaky balls for big dogs
Color: Squeaky-4 Pack, Size: Medium
I wanted a cheaper alternative to the Kong squeaky balls but unless you have big dogs that have powerful jaws, it is challenging for small and some medium dogs to squeak these. My dogs lost interest when they realized they couldn't squeak them. I will have to pass them off to a friend who has large dogs.

Moms dog here…reviewing cos it’s mine!
Color: Squeaky-4 Pack, Size: Medium
Moms corgo here. Reviewing the squeaky balls mom bought.
First off..they’re green. I don’t know what green exactly is cos I’m colorblind, so whatever that is it is and because it’s mine, I like it.
Secondly, they’re fluffy. It’s an annoying texture that I like to peel off, but these are tough and peeling them is a struggle.
Thirdly, the bounce. I don’t know where these balls think they’re going to think my mom is so repulsive, but they bounce just high enough to catch them and bring the escapee back to mom when I feel like they need to go back to her, otherwise, I take them to a safe spot to release into the wild…but mom always captures them and they always escape. I tell you, it’s a vicious cycle.
Fifthly…the squeak!! That rotten vulgar noise!! I want to unalive those things so bad!! Balls in the past were no match for my jaws of death, but these?? These are resilient and have quite the will to live! I have yet to destroy one!!
To wrap this up…Corgo approves and declares them mine. I like them. I think your doggo will like them too. But you can’t have mine..cos they’re mine.
*drops the corgo mic*

Not for aggressive chewers
Color: Non Squeaky-12 Pack, Size: Medium
You get a good amount of balls for the price. My dogs loved them but unfortunately they did not last long. That is not the company’s fault, my dogs are very toy aggressive and destroy almost every toy.

Our German Sheppard loves these
Size: Medium
These cost a bit more than tennis balls, but they are so much nicer and longer lasting. For starters, they stay cleaner than tennis balls because they’re smooth rubber. Dirt won’t build up on them and if anything does stick, like grass or soil, it falls off once the dog slobber dries. They’re also thick, so they don’t fall apart or blow out like a normal tennis ball does in our dog’s jaws after 30 seconds. Our GS chomps on these like crazy and the only damage they’ve suffered is a crack that developed from the edge of the hole, but the crack is growing very slowly and none of these balls have totally failed yet. The balls do whistle when thrown ant high speed and that may help a dog track and locate it, but I’m not sure. Our neighbors hear the whistling too so it’s far from silent. Lastly the orange ball is easy to locate out in our yard, but the dark blue practically disappears.

Great for smaller dogs
Size: Small
These two balls are perfect for the smaller mouthed dog that loves to play fetch.
These balls are not only super durable (lots of teeth biting), but float in the baby pool we use for our miniature dachshunds.
The value here is much better than you’d find anywhere else. The noise, if bitten hard enough, was “low” at best. Easy to spot/find if overthrown. Will definitely buy again once these are in bad repair; so far, so good-love these for my fur babies!
