Filing Cabinets and Sausage

There is a shortage of filing cabinets, both in our apartment and in the Netherlands.

Our shipment arrived sans filing cabinet and we desperately need one! We have been to nearly every furniture store we can think of, or that has been recommended to us, with no success. We attempted to visit a huge office-supply store, but apparently one has to obtain a special card from the Chamber of Commerce to even enter this store, let alone buy anything. We have found one-drawer filing cabinets that usually also come with another regular drawer for the insane price of around €200-€250! Apparently the Dutch do not prefer hanging files. We are now seriously considering converting all our files to what is obviously the Dutch method of paper organization: hole-punch every single piece of paper and store everything in giant three-ring binders on a shelf.

There is, however, an overabundance of sausage...in the Netherlands, not in our apartment.

The grocery stores, however small they may be, devote entire aisles to sausage. Erin is not quite sure how to decipher the labels or how many different kinds of sausage there could really be. She's sure there must be Italian sausage here somewhere; we just haven't found it yet among all the other piles of sausage. Even after buying some, she is still not entirely sure what kind it is.
