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.

Nachos, chili dogs, pretzel dip, the only limit to what you can do with a good cheese sauce is your imagination.
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 1/4 cup warmed milk
3/4 cup freshly grated sharp Cheddar cheese, more if desired
salt, to taste
cayenne pepper, to taste
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until smooth and bubbly. Do not let the flour mixture brown.
While stirring, slowly add the hot milk and continue to stir the sauce until it thickens. Stir in the cheese and continue to stir until the cheese is melted. Stir in salt and cayenne as desired.
Serve the cheese sauce immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat the sauce gently or it may separate.

Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.
Love the spinach dip at restaurants like TGIFriday's and the Olive Garden? Make it at home with these easy-to-follow copycat recipes.

The consistency of the sauce is perfect but it isn't very cheesy. Had to double the cheese amount.
