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.

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.

There is something wrong with the size of the pan. I took it to read that I was to use a 9" graham cracker pie crust (like the store bought) There is too much batter! It might be a 9" or 10" springform pan that would be more like it, for the amount of ingredients.
