Ingredients

  • 1 pound of ground meat (50% port / 50% beef)
  • 2 pounds of potatoes
  • 2 onions
  • 1 jar of diced tomatoes
  • 1 bucket of yogurt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 pound of mozzarella
  • 5 table spoons of flour
  •  1/2 cup of cooking oil
  • 1 table spoon paprika
  • 1/2 tea spoon black pepper
  • 1 tea spoon savory
  • 1 table spoon salt

Preparation

  • Put the cooking oil in a deep pot and heat. Peel and dice the onion and add it to the pot. Stir regularly. Cook until the onion gets soft.
  • Mill half of the tomatoes in a food processor and add it to the pot. Add the ground meat and mix it well with the tomatoes and the onion.
  • Add the black pepper, the savory and salt.
  • Cook until the water from the tomatoes is gone or very little is left. Then add the paprika and stir well.
  • In the mean time you had to peal the potatoes and cut it into a small cubes (1/2 inch side). Add them to the pot and stir well.
  • In a baking rectangular pan pour some cooking oil to barely cover the bottom. Mill the other half of the tomato jar and spread evenly on the pan bottom.
  • Pour the mix from the pot to the baking pan and spread evenly. Add 1/2 cup of hot water.
  • Put the baking pan into a pre-heated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake until the water disappears.
  • It is time for the icing. In a big bowl mix one jar of plain yogurt, 2 eggs and shredded mozzarella.
  • Add 5 table spoons of white flower  while constantly stirring. Keep stirring it until you get a very homogeneous mix.
  • Take the pan out of the oven. Pour the icing on top and spread evenly.
  • Put the pan back into the oven.  Cook until the top becomes golden brownish.
  • Take the pan out of the oven and put it aside to cool off. Turn off the oven.
  • You can serve it with parsley on top and yogurt on the side.

This is it!

[XPS 15 9560/Precision 55520] FIX for Lag/Stuttering on Kaby Lake

I bought a Dell XPS 15 9560 recently and after setting it up and updating all drivers, etc. I noticed there was a lag/stuttering when using Google Chrome browser.

It turns out I was not alone – apparently many people noticed the same problem. I came across this reddit thread which helped me to fix the issue: [XPS 15 9560/Precision 55520] FIX for Lag/Stuttering on Kaby Lake

The problem seems to be a buggy driver for the Intel HD Graphics 630 display adapter.

The most current version (as of the time of writing) on the Dell web site is version 21.20.16.4574

In order to fix the problem you need to download version 21.20.16.4590 from the Intel’s web site: Intel® Graphics Driver for Windows [15.45.14.4590]

EDIT (17 April 2017): You should see a yellow banner on Intel’s site saying there is a newer version of the driver:

It is version 15.45.16.4627 and it is working fine on the same computer I installed 4590 before. You may wanna use the newer one. The steps below are the same regardless if you use 4627 or 4590.

There is .exe and .zip file. Download the .zip file and save it on your disk. Extract the files.

Right-click the start button and run Device Manager:

Expand the Display Adapters, right-click Intel(R) HD Graphics 630 and select Update Driver Software…

Important: In the dialog below do not click Next or Browse. Instead click on Let me pick from a list of devices on my computer.

You will see a list of devices. This just shows the graphic card and what drivers are installed. You may have more than one driver installed for the same graphic card. This is normal – when a newer version is installed the old one is kept so you can revert back to an older driver if you want.

Important: The picture below shows one of the items selected – this was my mistake. You do not have to select one. Just click Have Disk… to continue.

Navigate to the folder where the drivers were unzipped. Open the Graphics folder. In my case the full path is C:\Users\Vicki\Downloads\win64_154514.4590\Graphics

There should be an .inf file. Select it and click Open.

This should start the installation. After it is complete verify the driver has version 21.20.16.4590.

Note: The steps might be different for you since I took the screen-shots after I had the new driver installed.

The important part is to not click Next but to choose Let me pick from a list of devices on my computer as mentioned earlier.

This seems to fix the lag/stuttering I was experiencing. I hope this works for you too.
