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 basic recipe for pan-fried perch. Flour and cornmeal give the fish a nice crispy crust, and it's easy to add in some different spices to the coating for ethnic twists. Try some chili powder to use these in Mexican fish tacos.

1 pound perch fillets
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup white cornmeal
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
vegetable oil, for frying
Soak perch fillets in a bowl of ice water for half an hour. Rinse and pat dry with paper towels.
In a shallow bowl, mix together flour, cornmeal, salt and pepper. Place 1/2-inch cooking oil in a deep skillet and preheat to 370 degrees F. Dredge fillets in flour mixture.
Fry fillets until golden, turning once. Drain on paper towels.

What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
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).

The recipe was quite good. Perch cooks quickly so watch it carefully.
