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.

With plenty of basil and a bite from balsamic, this tangy pesto sauce would be equally at home on a grilled pizza or some simple crostini with a drizzle of olive oil.
2 medium tomatoes
1 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons lemon juice
Remove the core of the tomatoes and any excess seeds. Cut the tomatoes into quarters.
Combine the basil, parsley, and garlic in a blender or food processor. Process until smooth. Add the quartered tomatoes, vinegar, and lemon juice. Process until the pesto is the desired consistency.
Use the tomato pesto immediately or store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Used this on a simple pizza as sort of a combo of pesto and pizza sauce. It was perfect!
