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.

The meal was wonderful. The recipe was missing a few steps. According to 2 other sites that had this recipe, after boiling the tomatoes, you peel and chop them. Hope that helps!
