Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

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 really does dress up mac and cheese nicely. I've made it twice. Once as directed in the crock pot and once just on the stovetop. The crock pot version is better since the flavors meld more.
