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.

Graham crackers have a multitude of uses from snacks to baking. Try this homemade version rather than buying them at the store.
1 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup honey
1 tablespoon molasses
1 egg
In a small bowl, mix together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
In a mixing bowl, combine the butter, sugar, and brown sugar. Beat on medium speed with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add the honey, molasses, and egg and mix for 2 minutes.
With the mixer running on low speed, add the flour mixture in 1/2 cup increments, mixing until combined.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours (or as long as overnight).
When ready to bake the cookies, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly flour a work surface. Divide the dough into fourths. Roll out each piece to a 1/8-inch thickness.
Using a fluted pastry wheel, cut the dough into 6x3-inch rectangles. Score each piece lightly in half each way to outline four crackers per rectangle. Lightly poke the dough with the tines of a fork.
Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees F for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove the crackers from the baking sheet and let cool completely on a wire rack. Store the graham crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
