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.

under 30 minutes
ingredients
2 tablespoons butter
3 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
1 1/2 pound flank steak, about 3/4-inches thick
salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley
directions
Warm butter and garlic in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook until garlic is fragrant, about 5 minutes. Discard garlic. Set butter aside in a warm place.
Pat steak dry with paper towels, then season liberally on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over high heat. When pan begins to smoke, coat with oil, then add steak (oil will spatter). For rare (the way Shire likes it), sear until almost black. Don't move steak until ready to turn, or seal formed by crust will break. Cook about 4 minutes on each side.
Transfer steak to a platter; top with garlic butter. Cover loosely with foil to keep warm. Allow steak to rest for 10 minutes. Cut across the grain into 1/4-inch slices. Spoon juices over steak and top with parsley.

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.
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.
