I use an Asus 7" eee pc which is very portable.Nothing in Barras, but plenty at various points of the village. Look out for "connex" and "corfunet" connections and perhaps others. Both these are open (no access key required). So bring your laptop - I have used mine lots. (I am in San Stef now).May I ask why? your supposed to be on holiday mun - does your missus mind?

We intend to try it and I will report back.

Where to eat out in San Stefanos? / Re: moussaka!
« on: May 17, 2009, 12:11:46 PM »without sounding snobby, making your own has to be better than ready meals that go PING!My wife and I both make, but hers is best. It takes a long time to make, at least 4 hours. There is less need to salt aubergine with new varieties.
On the face of it moussaka should be straightforward,a lasagne without pasta but with aubergine instead [or potato]layers,but Ive yet to make one thats anywhere near authentic - I think it's the cheese sauce that makes it...oh and always salt your aubergine slices for at least half hour in a sieve,or they'll taste 'orrible

« on: May 17, 2009, 12:05:52 PM »:- after all they seem to enjoy all sports.The Greeks will probably join in with you.JULES next saturday we play Arsenal..... Hope it still matters and we can be helpful.............. When we meet I will tell you why I feel that way!!!!!! Never did until last year!No wonder I prefer rugby these days!!
Pity you'll miss seeing The B&I Lions out in SS[last game is 4 July ],it'll be a novelty for me, I wonder what the Greeks will make of a Rugby mad Welshman, mad Welshmen are bad enough,but a rugby one?.....I am under strict orders not to have too many

« on: May 17, 2009, 12:01:43 PM »The Sunset has the courgette and the aubergine versions and Barras sells the courgette one.more a tempura than batter,same thing is done with Aubergines...more an I talian than Greek dish
If you want the Aubergine version, then look for...Deep Fried Eggplant
