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 1/2 pound fresh asparagus
1/3 cup slivered almonds
1 tablespoon salad oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 pinch sugar
1 dash ground ginger
directions
Break or cut off woody ends of asparagus spears; slice asparagus diagonally to get pieces about 1-1/2" long. Saute almonds in oil until light golden in medium skillet; add asparagus, salt, pepper, sugar and ginger. Cover, turn heat to high and cook over medium-high heat, shaking pan to prevent sticking or burning. Cook just until asparagus is fork-tender, about 5 minutes. Don't overcook. Serve promptly.

Pizza night is always a favorite, especially when you have great tasting pizza from some of the most popular restaurants.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

Very good and extremely easy. Requires very little prep and takes just minutes to cook.
