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.

ingredients
2 bunches spinach, stemmed and washed 3 times
1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic, bashed and chopped
2 cups sliced mushrooms
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts
2 cups cooked long grain white rice
directions
Cut the spinach leaves in 1/2-inch strips and set aside for later. Cover the sun-dried tomatoes with hot water and soak 15 minutes. Drain and chop.
Heat the oil in a high-sided skillet on medium high. Shallow fry the onions 2 minutes. Add the garlic and reconstituted tomatoes and cook 1 minute more. Stir in the mushrooms and cook until they begin to wilt, 3 to 5 minutes.
Add the spinach, stirring to mix well. Cover and cook 3 minutes or until spinach wilts but is still bright green. Season with salt and pepper, spoon over rice, and scatter the pine nuts on top.

This was great! Here are some changes I made. Used a bag of prewashed baby spinach leaves, 1/2 cup more onions, 1/2 cup less mushrooms, 2 cloves of garlic, and 1/2 tsp of pepper.
