The meat balls

I came across one of the freakiest bugs I have seen in my IT career so far today. We were thinking about buying this 3rd party web control. It's a drop down list. You know, like a list of countries. You click the arrow on the side and it folds open a list. Now, I work with 2 screens and was testing this on my right screen, which is the secondary one. The control wouldn't work. Not even the samples from the maker's website. I started looking into this before the weekend and had also emailed the maker to ask what's up with not working on my computer (and 2 other colleagues' computers). He wrote back something about a bug in Internet Explorer and dual screens, not specifying what exactly. Out of sheer desperation I moved my browser window to my left, primary, screen and behold, it bloody worked!

The above picture shows the drop down list in the middle of my 2 screens. When I click it, the list is displayed entirely on the left screen only using half the width of the control. It will NOT show on my right screen. Bizarre.

When I left work I ran into piano-man again. He's cool.

The view behind me as I was waiting for the bus. Nicole can't pick me up anymore because she works a little later than me.

Crossing through the park lands in the bus.

I got off at the shopping centre to buy a block of butter. I also bought to boxes of tissues and 3 pair of socks. Because of the latter we can now postpone washing clothes till the weekend.

I walked home as it was getting dark quickly. This is what people see when they run into me ;-P

The tennis courts close to our house. Unfortunately it's a private club and not open for public. Bastards...

I made meatballs tonight. Big, round giant Dutch meatballs. And as with all super-food we start by melting a big block of butter ;-)

Raw meat "Before" picture. It's about half a kilo of minced meat. I added salt, black pepper, paprika powder, currie powder, 1 egg and fine, dry bread crumbs.

Raw meat "After" picture. 5 lean mean balls of meat.

When you're done rolling, the butter should've almost melted.

Put the balls into the melted, hot butter and brown the outside nicely.

When the outside has been sealed you can add half a litre of water and put the lit on.

The meat balls have to simmer for about 30 minutes so why not crack open some wine?

30 minutes later they are done. Oh, did you notice one is missing in the picture above?

Here it is! In my sandwich. I really need to get some applesauce, maybe tomorrow.
