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.


6 ounces young, fresh goat cheese
1/2 cup honey
1/3 cup water
several sprigs favorite herbs, such as sage, basil, rosemary, thyme
3 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
12 slices baguette-type French bread, cut diagonally about 1/2-inch thick, toasted
In a small sauce pan over medium-high heat, combine honey and water; bring to a boil.
Add herb sprigs and reduce heat to a simmer. Let simmer for approximately 10 minutes until total amount of liquid is reduced to about 1/2 cup. Remove from heat.
Remove and discard herbs. Stir in balsamic vinegar and let cool.
Spread goat cheese thickly on toast. Drizzle with balsamic-honey syrup and serve.

These were a hit! The balsamic reduction takes a while but the flavor is incredible. Overall it was quite easy to make and everyone who tried them at our taste-testing loved them.
