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.

ingredients
1 1/4 cup peeled, chopped plum tomatoes
OR
1 1/2 cup cooked, well drained, chopped spinach, or any other greens
1/2 cup finely chopped scallions
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 tablespoon freshly chopped parsley
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon fresh mint (heaping measure)
salt
freshly ground black pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon double-acting baking powder
olive oil, for frying
directions
In a large bowl, combine tomatoes, scallions, garlic, herbs, and spices. Add flour and baking powder and mix together so that all ingredients are well blended and have the consistency of a thick batter (about as thick as pancake batter).
In a large heavy skillet, heat enough olive oil for frying. Taking a heaping tablespoon at a time, drop batter into hot oil and fry until golden brown and crisp.
Remove at once with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve hot.

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.
Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.
