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.

The blueberry cake roll is a delicious and easy to make cake. This cake is made with a from-scratch cake base and a cream cheese and blueberry filling. The cake is rolled up, making it easy to slice and serve.

Cake
3/4 cup sifted cake flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
confectioners' sugar
Filling
3 ounces cream cheese, softened
4 tablespoons butter, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups fresh blueberries, left whole or slightly crushed
For Cake: Sift together flour, baking powder and salt, set aside.
Beat eggs on highest speed of mixer until thick and lemon colored. Add sugar a little at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat until thick and fluffy. Add vanilla. Gradually fold in flour mixture until smooth.
Grease the bottom on a 15- x 10-inch jellyroll pan lined with wax paper. Butter paper and sides; dust with additional flour. Spread batter evenly in prepared pan. Bake in a preheated 400 degrees F oven for 8-10 minutes.
Sprinkle a kitchen towel with confectioner's sugar. Remove cake from oven, immediately loosen the edges and turn out on prepared towel. Peel off wax paper. Roll up cake in towel, starting with the narrow end. Let stand 20 minutes.
For Filling: With electric mixer mix the cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla to make the filling.
Unroll cake and spread the filling mixture on the cake. Sprinkle with blueberries. Roll cake again without the towel. Cover and refrigerate. Garnish with additional blueberries.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.
