Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.

These meatloaf "mice" aren't just cute, they are also tasty and healthy, made with a mix of beef and turkey.

MICE BODIES
1/2 cup ketchup
2 egg whites, beaten
6 ounces ground turkey
6 ounces ground beef
1 onion, chopped fine
2/3 cup oatmeal, uncooked
salt and pepper, to taste
GARNISH
carrots*
spaghetti noodles, uncooked
colored peppercorns
spaghetti sauce, canned
First cut 2 coins per mice out of the carrots for ears. Then make long thin strips out of the remaining carrots for the tails, one for each mouse. Steam until they are crisp tender. DON'T OVERCOOK!!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Mix together the ingredients for the mice bodies and shape into little mice shaped loaves on baking sheet. Have them shaped to a point in the front and rounded in the back. Bake for 45 minutes in preheated oven or until desired doneness. Take and cut little slits for the ears about 1/3 from the pointed end. Place the carrot coins in the slits for the ears.
Make a tiny slit in the rounded wide end for the tail and place one of the carrot strips in the slit for the tail. Use the black peppercorns for the eyes. Break the uncooked spaghetti noodles into pieces and place around the "nose" (pointed end) for whiskers. Press a red peppercorn at the tip of the nose.
Heat the spaghetti sauce. Place a large spoonful of sauce on a plate. Place a meatloaf mouse on top of the spaghetti sauce to serve.

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.
This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.
