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.

A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

Didn't taste quite like a real gyro but it was a nice variation and fun to try it in the crock pot.
I would love to try this recipe, however it calls for ground meat, then it says slice it thinly. I don't think I know how to slice ground meat thinly.
I think when Sarah says to "Mix lamb, turkey, oregano and salt together; place on top of onions" she means form into a meatloaf-like mass. That way the mixture will be sliceable when cooked.
