The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
Love the spinach dip at restaurants like TGIFriday's and the Olive Garden? Make it at home with these easy-to-follow copycat recipes.

I make this recipe with chopped celery, onions and garlic. Just follow the recipe with the chopped celery. Deglaze with good white wine and add a touch of milk at the end. The celery taste is wonderful with the mussels.

I used a third of the butter, onions instead of shallots and dried tarragon instead of thyme. I didn't have parsley, either, but the dish was very good and much easier to make than a three rating suggests. Yum! Thanks.
