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
1/4 cup olive oil
4 cloves garlic, crushed
4 cans (28 ounce size) plum tomatoes, drained and coarsely chopped
1/2 cup dry red wine
1/2 cup parsley, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup basil leaves, torn in half
2 teaspoons dried oregano
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 pinch sugar
directions
Heat the oil in a large, heavy pot over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook until it colors slightly but does not burn, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and carefully stir in the tomatoes and the wine.
Return the pot to medium heat. Stir in the parsley, basil, oregano, salt, pepper and sugar. Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes.
Serve immediately or cool and store, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Or freeze the sauce for later use.

It was good and it gave me something to do with all the tomatoes I pulled from the garden.
