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.

1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cup shortening
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon almond extract
red food coloring (optional)

Shape into balls using a tablespoon of dough for each cookie. Place onto an ungreased baking sheet and make a depression in the middle of each cookie. If you don't wish to use red dye you may garnish with a piece of blanched almond.
Use a chopstick to place a drop of red food coloring in the middle of each cookie. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes.

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.
This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.

Easy to make. I used a blender to mix everything together at once. They were light even without sifting ingredients (I think most flours are presifted).
