Method:

The moussaka needs to be baked inside an oven. You need to use a roasting container, this can be either a square or an oblong and it needs to be around 25X25 cm or 39X28cm. now the best thing to do would be to spread your work over a span of two days. You can simply cook the meat a day before and your moussaka won’t suffer at all. Make sure that you don’t do this with the aubergines; they need to be friend on that day. You need to top and tail these, but make sure that you don’t peel them. You can rinse them and then cut them into lengthwise strips and them soak them in water which is salted for half an hour then rinse them and squeeze them and then drain them and pat them dry. Then fry them in vegetable oil and dry them on absorbent paper.

Then sauté the onions in the vegetable oil and add the meat to it till the lumps start to break down and the color changes. Then put the wine, tomatoes, salt, pepper and spices, cook for 20 minutes. To make the sauce melt the butter and stir the flour in then add milk and seasoning and stir continuously. Let this simmer for 10 minutes till it becomes thick and take the pan off the heat and add the cheese and egg yolk. Don’t let the sauce boil after adding this. This is a kind of thick sauce which will sit over your mixture.

Next you need to assemble everything. First the base should be covered with half of those friend aubergines and then the half of the meat mixture should be spread evenly on top of that and then it should be covered with the rest of the aubergines. Then you spread the remaining meant and cover it all up with the sauce. Then grated cheese and bread crumbs should be sprinkled over this. You need to pre heat the oven to 350 degree Fahrenheit and let this bake for around an hour till you see that a golden crust has formed. Let this stay for around 5 minutes before you start to serve it, this will help you cut it easily.

If you want to promote something flyers are the best and the most economical way to do it. You don’t need to be completely artistic to get a good flyer which will grab people’s attention. If you have good principles of design you will be able to create those pieces which are going to stand out from the rest of the crowd.

• Start by choosing an artistic medium. This basically depends on what your audience is and what your budget is as well. If you see that you have very little money with you, you will need to hand draw the flyer or you can even photo copy it. If you have clients who are high end then you need to do it on Photoshop or any sort of other programs which are going to help you make a good flyer.

• Then you have to think of a concept. This should be a creative concept which you are going to have to sell. You need to think about images which are going to be eye catching.

• Now usually people don’t read beyond what you write in your first line. So you need to make sure that you get most of your point through in the first line. Make it short but to the point and catchy. Don’t use terms which are ill defined and mushy. Make your first few words count.

• If you want to create a flyer which everyone is going to remember you can cut out letters from different magazines and you can create a ransom note like style. People usually remember creative things like this. You can even use magic markers or glitter pens.

• The best thing to do is to check out the usual layouts which are present in designing software’s like Adobe Photoshop and so on. You will be able to find various tools out there and various frames and fonts which you can use. You will get a lot options in these software’s.

• You can even try and use papers which are light in color. This way if you have bold writing in different colors they will stick out. It will also be able to catch the attention of the people.

• Before you get the final print out make sure that you get a test flyer. You can put it up your wall and think about how it looks there and then you make the changes.
