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.


These crispy pieces of bacon are sweet and tangy. Great for a snack, crumbled and added to a recipe, or sprinkled on a salad.


2/3 cup brown sugar substitute or regular brown sugar, packed
2 tablespoons dry mustard
11 slices bacon
At least 1 hour or up to 1 week before serving:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 15 1/2 x 10 1/2 x 1-inch jelly roll pan with foil.
In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and mustard. Spread half of the mixture evenly in pan. Place bacon slices in a single layer over brown sugar mixture in pan. Sprinkle with remaining sugar mixture. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until bacon is medium brown and crisp.
As bacon is done, transfer with tongs or a fork to a sheet of waxed paper. Cool. Break each slice into five pieces. Store in an airtight container in refrigerator up to 1 week.
To serve, place pieces in a glass or wooden dish.

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

Part of the Great Bacon Experiment @ CDKitchen. Truly outstanding. WOW! These decadent crisps have a wide range of possible uses (other than just eating plain!). Try crumbling them in pancake batter, in baked goods, or on top of a salad! Good luck getting any leftovers though, these are hard to stop munching on! We did change the recipe just a bit, we coated one side of the bacon with the mixture and then placed under the broiler. When browned and bubbly we flipped them over and spread the remaining coating on and finished cooking.
