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.

Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.
Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

I tried this recipe and was very disappointed. The recipe called for 1/2cup of flour. The recipe calls for a 13 x 9x2. There is no way the batter will cover this size pan. Either the amount of ingredients is wrong or the pan size is wrong. This recipe needs to be rechecked.
