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.

Thanks for the tip about the butter. These were tasty with the garden salad that I made.

Tasty! The only problem was that the first pieces you add to the butter in the skillet start to absorb all the butter and spices. I ended up having to double the butter because it was absorbed too quickly. I would recommend melting the butter and mixing with the herbs/spices and then brushing it on the bread. More time consuming but I think it would more evenly distribute it. The croutons baked up nice and crisp. They're great as breadsticks or dippers (I was wishing I had some pizza sauce to dip them in!). I like that they can be frozen so you could make them ahead of time and just keep them on hand.
