You can make it without vodka. Just make sure to reduce the tomatoes well to concentrate the flavor before adding the cream. I am totally guessing on the amount of vodka used to since I just pour it . However i figure a shot and a bit per person is good. Make sure to cook the alcohol off.

If you do it right, when it turns to vapor, you collect through copper tubing, it condenses and you get more pure alcohol to drink.

I'm a thinker, someone who makes the best of a situation especially when it comes to making the most out of alcohol.

If you want to see me as a revolutionary. I'll deny it, act humble, but still accept the adulation.

I'll give you some adulation if you cook up this dish for me.

Honestly cooking isn't my strong suit. I'm way more of a left brain person.

I can bake quite a bunch of stuff because baking is much more scientific, and based on chemistry, where as cooking is more, by "feel" or "taste".

So....I'll do the cooking and you do the baking and afterwards we'll adulate one another 'till the break of dawn?
