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.

A few well-placed herbs and spices can make all the difference in the world, and this pork chop recipe is proof.

4 boneless pork loin chops, cut 3/4-inch thick
4 teaspoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme or savory, crushed
1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram or basil, crushed
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
Trim fat from chops. Brush both sides of chops with lemon juice. Stir together thyme, marjoram, and ginger, rub onto both sides of chops.
Place chops on the unheated rack of a broiler pan. Broil 3-4 inches from the heat for 8-10 min or till no pink remains and juices run clear, turning once.

It's hard to believe that a recipe was needed for something so simple - but honestly we probably wouldn't have thought to pair ground ginger with thyme and basil for the rub. The result was delicious. This recipe would also work well on the grill and with bone-in pork chops (just adjust the cooking time if needed).
