Very nice dinner. Made this as posted, though I subsituted bleu cheese for the cheese. The vodka definately was not overpowering, but added a delightful flavor to this. The kids didn't try this due to the alcohol, but I took a couple to my buddy next door, and they were raving over these. Tagged and made for Holiday Tag.
