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.

Want to keep those beautiful flowers around a little longer? Use this homemade drying formula to preserve them for years.

10 parts white cornmeal
3 parts borax
Combine the cornmeal and borax in a deep container. Gently press flowers into the mixture, covering them completely with the mixture. Let the flowers sit undisturbed, and uncovered, for 2 weeks.
Carefully remove the flowers from the mixture and shake off the drying formula. Use the dried flowers as desired.

This worked! It was a little tricky to get the drying residue off the flowers so I used a small art brush which was perfect (a makeup brush would work also). It's amazing how good the flowers turned out.
