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.

Simple ingredients, outstanding flavor. Lean pork chops are browned then oven-baked in a creamy gravy. Serve the tender chops and gravy over mashed potatoes or noodles.

4 lean pork chops, 1/2- to 3/4-inch thick
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon oil or shortening
1 can (10 ounce size) cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup
2/3 cup evaporated milk
1/3 cup water
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Season the pork with salt and pepper. Heat the oil or shortening in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and cook, turning as needed, to brown on both sides. Transfer the browned chops to a baking dish.
In a bowl, mix together the soup, milk, and water. Pour evenly over the pork chops. Place the baking dish in the oven and bake at 350 degrees F for 45 minutes or until the pork is cooked through. Serve the pork chops with the gravy over mashed potatoes, noodles, or rice.
