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 stromboli is a type of turnover filled with various meats, cheeses and vegetables. This version is made easy by using frozen bread dough for the turnover dough.

2 loaves (1 pound each) frozen bread dough, thawed
2 eggs, beaten
1/3 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 pound ground beef
1/4 cup tomato sauce (or pasta sauce)
1 package (3.5 ounce size) sliced pepperoni
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 small onion, chopped
Place each loaf of bread dough in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes.
Punch down. Roll each loaf into a 15-in. x 12-in. rectangle. In a bowl, combine eggs, oil and seasonings. Brush over dough to within 1/2 in. of edges; set remaining egg mixture aside.
Brown the ground beef and drain well. Stir in the tomato sauce.
Arrange beef, pepperoni, cheeses and onion on dough to within 1/2 in. of edges. Roll up, jelly-roll style, beginning with a long side. Seal the edges well. Place seam side down on greased baking sheets. Brush with remaining egg mixture.
Bake at 375 degrees F for 30-35 minutes or until lightly browned. Let stand for 5-10 minutes before cutting.
