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.

directions
In a nonreactive Dutch oven over medium-high heat, cook the bacon and salt pork until they render their fat.
Add the celery, peppers, tomatoes and onions; saute about 5 minutes or until tender.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook about 3 minutes. Add the peas, salt and water. Bring to a boil. Then stir in the rice and thyme.
Reduce heat to low and cook slowly, covered, 15 to 20 minutes or until all the water is absorbed.
Turn off heat and allow to sit 10 to 15 minutes; serve.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.
