Hi Dave,

 DD> the local Star 66 truck stop restaurant .... Spanakopita, gyros,
 DD> sometimes (rarely) moussaka. But never avgolemono.

 RH> We've got some down in Raleigh but usually don't go down there just for
 RH> a meal unless it's a special occaision. If we're down there, we'll get

 DD> This is my other favourite Greek speciality - especially when someone
 DD> else is making it.  Bv)=

 DD>       Title: Moussaka - Part One
 DD>  Categories: Lamb/mutton, Cheese, Potatoes, Casseroles, Sauces
 DD>       Yield: 8 Servings

 RH> I've eaten it different times but not (yet) tried making it. It may be
 RH> like some things, enjoy it when somebody else has taken the time/effort
 RH> to make it.

 DD> It's sorta/kinda like a Greek lasagne using potatoes/eggplant for the
 DD> pasta sheets. I will note, too, that nat all moussaka uses bechamel.
 DD> I've had some very tasty moussaka made with red gravy.

 DD> I've made this recipe - once only - and it was quite tasty. Almost
 DD> converted me to red moussaka. I'dgladly eat it if someone else made
 DD> it.

 DD>       Title: A.T.K. Moussaka
 DD>  Categories: Beef, Vegetables, Potatoes, Herbs, Sauces
 DD>       Yield: 8 servings

At this stage of my life I'll put it in the "I'll eat it if somebody
else makes it" category. I like it, but not enough to take the time and
effort to make it.

Tried a new to us place after church today, Hibachi Express. Limited
menu, reasonable prices, very generous servings. We both came home with
left overs and plan on going back from time to time. A Flying Biscuit
cafe just opened up in the same plaza, thought about trying it but it
was packed and had a waiting line. We'll wait until it's not so new any
more before trying it.
