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.

- #62626
These cute rice balls make a great appetizer for Asian meals. The recipe calls for brown rice, but substituting in some sushi rice and adding fillings like avocado or smoked salmon gives you a fun variation on standard sushi rolls.
