Hi Dave,

Getting back to a previous post of yours to (IIRC) Ben: Living in
Germany for almost 6 years got me comfortable with cooking metric and
weighing things like flour. I have some German/English and one (maybe
more?) cook books. Also, before we left, I bought a set of German
measuring spoons/cups, still in use today. I'm not caught up short in my
conversions. (G) Since I joined the echo here, I've occaisionally posted
a recipe in dual measurements.

True, I'm not as impressed with it as I was my first time or two there,
many years ago. There are a few small non chain Italian restautants in
WF and Raleigh that we usually go to instead of OG.

We have one pretty good Greek place but it's now in downtown Raleigh,
near the NC State campus. Not an area we go to very often. Given a
choice, I'd rather see a good German place open up locally. When we were
in SLC last fall, our daughter told us of a German place they'd found in
downtown SLC. We tried it and were less than impressed, but then too,
we've had much better German food elsewhere.

Looks good, have you tried the red sauce moussaka? That's good too.
