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.

ingredients
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup minced mushroom stems
3 tablespoons finely minced garlic
8 anchovy fillets, drained and minced
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon sugar

directions
Melt the butter and gently saute the mushrooms and garlic. Do not let them brown. Add the anchovies and stir constantly for about a minute. Add the remaining ingredients and cook over very low heat until the cheese is totally melted, whisking continuously.
Pour into a serving dish with its own heat source: candle warmer, electric hot tray, spirit lamp, or whatever you want, to keep warm. Accompany with a basket of fresh, crisp, chilled raw vegetables.
