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.
Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.

This was delicious, rich and filling. And it should have been, considering that one serving of this creamy dish is probably the equivalent of eating a big wedge of birthday cake. With all the cheese, pasta and oil called for in this recipe, this dish is fairly loaded with fat and carbohydrates. But go ahead and enjoy it "every once in a while." That's just what we did! And change the 1 pound of feta to 6 ounces.
