Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.

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.

Yum, Yum and did I mention YUM? I had all ingredients except the shrimp and not really a shrimp lover anyway, so I justed used the sausage. I also added a very small amount of garlic. Tasted even better after letting it sit for about 10 - 15 minutes in the broth. Also had some leftover and finished it off the next day and it was just as good. The pasta did not get sticky or gooey like most leftover pasta. This is a keeper!!
