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 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.
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!

This is very delicious, and not hard to do. I think it will go great as a side dish with almost any type meal. I used light margarine, and doubled the recipe with no problem. I found it easier to mix the flour with the hot margarine by using a whisk and adding a little of the milk mixture as soon as it began to thicken because it tends to thicken too quick. Then I just kept adding the milk mixture as needed until the sauce thickened just right.
