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.

3 slices bacon
4 bone-in center-cut pork loin chops (1 1/2 inches thick)
1/2 teaspoon salt

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.

Bourbon and bacon? How can you go wrong? The pork chops were very tender (didn't really time the cooking but rather used a thermometer to gauge it) and the sauce was incredible.
