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.
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.

This was so yummy and easy. I put it on before work and it was perfect when we returned home. Had it as a sandwich on King's Hawaiian Hamburger buns, super. I even had it for left overs today and loved it, which is saying a lot as I don't like reheated meat!
