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.

ingredients
1 package (4 ounce size) long grain & wild rice mix
1/4 cup butter
1/3 cup chopped onion
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup evaporated milk
1 cup chicken broth
2 cups chopped, cooked chicken
1/3 cup diced pimento
1/3 cup minced fresh parsley
1/4 cup slivered almonds
directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a 2-quart baking dish.
Prepare the long grain and wild rice mix as directed on the package and set aside.
Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft.
Stir the flour, salt, and pepper into the saucepan. Mix until the flour and butter are combined.
While stirring, slowly add the milk and chicken broth. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened, about 5 minutes.
Stir the chicken, pimento, parsley, almonds, and cooked rice into the sauce.
Transfer the chicken and rice mixture to the greased baking dish. Place the baking dish in the oven and bake at 400 degrees F for 30 minutes.

A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

I made this today and it was delicious. I added celery and garlic for more flavor but it turned out perfectly. I recommend this dish and it is very comforting and tasty. Serve with a salad or a green veggie and you are all set!
