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).

This is sooo easy to make. Make sure your pineapple is very dry or it won't set up firm. If you want a sweeter dip, add 1/2 cup of confectioners sugar. You don't have to use frozen coconut, just make sure it's fresh. I only used 2tsp. of ginger and it is ok. It's really a big hit when served in a real pineapple. Use an electric knife to trim out a hole. Don't scrape too close to the edge. Coat with lemon juice to keep the color bright.
