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.



Grilled portobello mushroom caps are filled with a mixture of grilled shrimp and marinated cherry tomatoes.



1 pound large shrimp, shelled and deveined
4 medium portobello mushroom caps
5 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 cup halved grape or cherry tomatoes
1/2 cup thinly sliced fresh basil leaves
OR
1 tablespoon dried basil
Prepare outdoor grill or preheat broiler. Thread shrimp onto skewers. Brush shrimp and portobello caps with 2 Tbsp of the oil.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the remaining 3 Tbsp oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper; add tomatoes and basil leaves. Set aside.
Place portobellos and shrimp skewers on grill, or arrange on a rack in a pan. Grill or broil about 5 inches from heat source, turning shrimp once, until cooked through, about 3 minutes.
Remove shrimp from skewers and add to bowl with tomato mixture. Combine well. Turn portobellos and continue grilling until softened, 2 to 4 minutes longer.
Place portobellos, smooth side down, on serving plates. Spoon shrimp mixture into caps, dividing evenly. Garnish with basil sprigs and serve with salad greens, if desired.

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.
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
