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.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
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).
reviews & comments
forgot the pectin as an ingredient
It wasn't forgotten. Traditional orange marmalade doesn't require commercial pectin. There is enough natural pectin in the skin of the oranges.
The preoportions were right, but when I folloewd the cooking instructions, the marmalade did not set up. I ended up simmering the mix with the sugar added for about an hour and it gelled perfectly. I left out the powdered ginger because I don't like that flavor.
