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.
Imitation Crabmeat Rangoon

Imitation crabmeat rangoons are a staple in many Chinese restaurants. They are surprisingly easy to make at home with wonton wrappers, imitation crab meat, and cream cheese. These rangoons taste great warm or cold and can be eaten on their own or served as an appetizer.

ingredients
1 1/2 cup imitation crabmeat, chopped
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 teaspoons minced garlic
12 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 packages (20 count size) wonton wrappers
1 jar duck sauce, sweet and sour sauce, or Chinese mustard
directions
Combine the crab, onion, garlic, and cream cheese. Mix well.
Place a wonton wrapper on a work surface. Spoon about a teaspoon of the crab filling on the middle of the wrapper.
Pull opposite corners of the wonton together so that they meet in the center and pinch together. Repeat with the other corners. Pinch the sides to form a star shape. Seal the wonton wrapper right around the filling, leaving the edges unsealed.
Set aside on a lightly floured plate and cover lightly with a towel while you prepare the remaining wontons.
Heat oil in a deep fryer to 350 degrees F. Add the wontons in batches and cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from the oil with a slotted spoon and let drain on paper toweling.
Serve with duck sauce, sweet and sour sauce, or spicy Chinese mustard for dipping.

Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.

These served well as a party snack and my boyfriend's mother fell completely in love with them. I prefer my rangoons a little sweeter and tried using pineapple cream cheese in the second batch which worked pretty well. Wasn't quite what I was looking for, but still satisfied by taste buds.
