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.

Ahh rangoon, the pinnacle of take-out appetizer - try making the crunchy, creamy bites at home. Cream cheese and shrimp make up these tasty rangoon, or sub out the shrimp for crab if that's how you roll.

16 ounces cream cheese, softened
4 ounces canned shrimp, drained and chopped
3 whole green onions, chopped
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
1/8 teaspoon granulated garlic
1 dash Tabasco sauce
60 won-ton wrappers
In medium bowl, combine all ingredients except won ton wrappers and mix until well blended.
Using a pastry brush, moisten edges of wonton wrapper with water. Place scant teaspoon of filling in center of wonton wrapper. Fold in half to form triangle, pressing edges to seal. Pull bottom corners across and overlap slightly; moisten one corner and press to seal.
Fry in deep fryer at 350 degrees F, turning once, until golden brown on both sides (about 4 minutes).
May be frozen until needed.
Serve plain, or with seafood cocktail sauce.
A tasty twist on the ever-popular crab rangoon.
