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.

Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
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).

I scaled this to serve only 25 so some of the measurements were kinda hard to follow but since it's a pasta salad I figured precise measurements weren't so much of an issue. It turned out pretty good. I think I would use shredded carrot and maybe omit the green pepper and use white wine vinegar instead of the red.
