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.

This pilaf recipe is a fantastic way to elevate some regular white rice. The key is toasting the rice to add depth of flavor; throw in some onion and spices and you've got a spectacular (and simple) pilaf.
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 medium onion, finely diced
1 cup long grain white rice
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
2 cups water
salt and pepper, to taste
Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft.
Add the rice to the saucepan and increase the heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 3 minutes or until the rice starts to lightly brown.
Add the cumin and coriander and mix well. Let cook for 1 minute. Add the water, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil then cover the pan, reduce the heat to low, and let cook for 15 minutes.
Turn off the heat and let the rice sit, covered, for 5 minutes.
Fluff the rice with a fork and serve hot.

Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
Pizza night is always a favorite, especially when you have great tasting pizza from some of the most popular restaurants.
