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.

This brittle is almost as easy to make as it is to enjoy, with sugar and peanuts coming together in a sweet symphony of simplicity. The only tough part is waiting for it to cool.

ingredients
3 cups white sugar
2 cups regular or Spanish peanuts
directions
Grease a cookie sheet and set aside.
Heat a very heavy saucepan over low heat. Add the sugar and cook, stirring slowly but constantly, until the sugar has dissolved and turns a light caramel color.
Stir in the peanuts and immediately pour the candy mixture onto the prepared cookie sheet. Spread the brittle out with a greased spatula if necessary.
Let the brittle cool completely then break it into pieces. Store in an airtight container.

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.
Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.

Getting the sugar just right takes a little practice and constant watching but the recipe is quite good. I sprinkle the warm brittle with a little fleur de sel.
