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.

6 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 cups apples, peeled and chopped
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Combine butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla, then flour, soda and cinnamon in a large bowl. Beat until well mixed. Add apples and nuts. Stir to mix. Scrape into greased 9X9 pan.
Bake in a 350 degrees F oven for 40-50 minutes. Cool 15 minutes. Sift icing sugar over the top. Cut into squares. Very good warm with ice cream.

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.
