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.


5 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
6 slices fresh ginger root
2 tablespoons plum sauce (optional)
1/2 cup cold water
3 tablespoons dry sherry
10 ounces lean boneless beef shin or chuck
Combine soy sauce, sugar, ginger, plum sauce, water and sherry in a mixing bowl. Stir until sugar is dissolved.
Put beef in heavy Dutch oven or heavy pot with tight cover. Pour sauce over beef and bring it to a boil. Reduce heat, cover tightly and simmer gently for about 2 hours. Turn meat after the first hour, recovering tightly after turning.
To serve, slice meat very thin and arrange over cooked Chinese noodles and pour sauce over all.

This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.
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.
