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.

ingredients
1 package phyllo pastry, thawed if frozen
1 cup cranberries
1/2 cup soft brown sugar
1/2 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons butter, melted
12 ounces ripe Brie cheese, chilled
directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Put the cranberries into a pan with the orange juice and brown sugar. Cook over a low heat until they begin to pop and release their juices, about 8 minutes. Continue to cook until the cranberries are soft but do not completely lose their shape.
Remove the rind from the Brie. Put it in a food processor and beat it until it becomes white and creamy, about 10 minutes.
Cut the phyllo into 6-inch squares. Be careful not to allow them to dry out. Brush half of them with butter and lay the remaining ones over the top.
Put a spoonful of the whipped brie in the middle of each square and some of the cranberry mix, being careful not to add too much of the liquid. Fold the parcels over to form a triangle and brush the edges that come into contact with oil before folding them over on themselves.
Bake the phyllo parcels for about 12 minutes, or until golden and hot.

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.
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

While the flavor was good in these, the directions on preparing them are seriously lacking and very vague about the phyllo dough usage. First, only a few sheets should be layered, then brushed with butter, then a few more sheets. The directions either make it sound like you only use two layers per parcel, or two HALVES of the package!
