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
1/2 cup sesame seeds
4 tablespoons water
1 package (10 ounce size) frozen chopped spinach, thawed
1 tablespoon butter
directions
NOTE: Sesame seeds, called simsim in Swahili, add an unusual nutty flavor to vegetable stews. This particular recipe is from Uganda.
In a heavy stewing pan, combine sesame seeds and water. Stir in spinach. Add more water if necessary; the amount of water used depends on how wet the spinach is. This mixture should cook in smallest amount of water possible.
Bring to a boil. Simmer until seeds are cooked, 10 to 15 minutes. Add butter just before serving, with a starch.
