How To Make: "Vodka Sauce w/ Linguine"

If anyone knows me, they know I love Vodka....its so yummy when it hits your lips. That being said I decided to show you guys how to make a yummy "Vodka Sauce"

So what I did is got my neighbor "Vladimir" to help me show you guys how to make it. Actually Vladimir is a character I use in my comedy act so I decided to bust him out for you fine folks...and by fine I mean the 3 people who actually read this blog.

It turned out really well and tasted so frick good. I'm trying to not eat a ton of carbs but man.....I tore it up!
