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.

Wild rice is wonderfully tender when cooked in the crock pot. Combine it with almonds, onions, celery, mushrooms, chicken, and herbs and you have a delicious dinner.

2-5 hrs
ingredients
2 cups wild rice, uncooked
1/2 cup slivered almonds
1/2 cup chopped onions
1/2 cup chopped celery
1 can (12 ounce size) sliced mushrooms, drained
2 cups cut-up, cooked chicken
6 cups low sodium chicken broth
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
directions
Rinse the wild rice and drain well.
Combine the rice and remaining ingredients in the crock pot. Mix well.
Cover the crock pot and cook on low heat for 4-5 hours or until the rice is tender. Resist checking the rice too frequently or it may require a longer cook time as steam escapes from the crock pot.
Stir the rice before serving. Drain off any excess liquid if necessary.
