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.

It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
Pizza night is always a favorite, especially when you have great tasting pizza from some of the most popular restaurants.

Ack...this stuff is nasty. The spicy syrup is a good start but adding a ton of alcohol and a little OJ and pineapple to it was a waste.
