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.

Take advantage of those seasonal summer berries and make a skillet-baked cobbler. Hot cobbler with melty vanilla ice cream is a true thing of beauty. And, when the seasons change, just switch out the blueberries for peach slices.

1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup whole milk
1 cup granulated sugar plus
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups blueberries
ice cream, for serving
mint for garnish
Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the butter in a 9 x l3-inch ovenproof serving dish or 8-inch cast iron skillet and transfer to the preheated oven to melt.
Meanwhile, combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Add the milk, 1 cup sugar and vanilla and stir to combine. In a second bowl combine the remaining tablespoon sugar and the blueberries.
Remove the hot dish with the melted butter from the oven. Pour the batter into the hot pan. Add the sugared blueberries and return the pan to the oven.
Bake until brown and the batter has risen up and around the fruit, about 30 minutes. Remove to a rack to cool slightly. Serve with ice cream and garnish with fresh mint.

A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

Delicious in glass. But the cast iron is best. Will be making it for the 5th time this weekend. It is a hit with everyone.
