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.
Vanilla Rum Soaked French Toast

French toast, with a not-so-French addition. Adding rum and vanilla to the whisked egg mixture gives the toast a delicious extra layer of flavor, and makes a wonderful complement to some sliced bananas and maple syrup.

under 30 minutes
ingredients
3/4 cup half and half
3 large eggs
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 tablespoons rum
1 pinch salt
8 slices French bread, slightly stale and cut thickly
directions
Combine the half and half, eggs, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, rum, and salt in a shallow dish large enough to hold a few slices of bread in a single layer. Whisk the egg mixture until uniform in color.
Soak a few slices of bread in the egg mixture, turning to coat on both sides, or 4-5 minutes.
Heat a lightly greased griddle or skillet over medium high heat. Add the soaked bread slices and cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown. While the french toast is cooking, soak a few more slices of bread in the egg mixture.
Remove the browned french toast and keep warm. Repeat with remaining bread slices.
Serve the French toast with desired toppings such as butter, maple syrup, powdered sugar, or jelly.

Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored 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).
