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 tasty fresh salsa made with tomatoes, green onion, bell pepper, jalapeno, and cilantro and served with festive blue corn tortilla chips.



3 medium tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and chopped
1/2 cup chopped green onions, white and green parts

2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
blue corn tortilla chips
Combine the tomatoes, green onion, bell pepper, and lime juice in a bowl. Mix well.
Add the cilantro, jalapeno, garlic, and salt. Mix well.
Serve the fresh salsa immediately with blue corn tortilla chips (or regular tortilla chips).

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

A wonderfully fresh salsa! I reduced the lime juice considerably and left the seeds and ribs from the jalapenos to make it extra spicy (love hot hot hot salsa!). Delicious and the blue tortilla chips add that festive touch!
