baby it's etc outside.



Yes, that is snow outside. And a beer delivery truck loading crates and crates of beer into my house. And I have a sandwich in my hand that is, compositionally speaking, extremely unexceptional for these parts, but which many sandwich-eating people in other places would probably find worthy of comment: warm, toasted roggebrood (no real translation that makes sense, but it's a northern Dutch version of German-style pumpernickel: slow-cooked, very coarse-grained via whole crushed rye kernels, sweetened with beet sugar, and no caraway or other spices), with katenspek (cooked, smoked, thinly sliced pork belly), and Dutch coarse-grain mustard that until pretty recently was actually ground in a windmill.

mmm, not yet, this was Prelude to Snert. we are moments away from Actual Snert.

ok so, we ended up freezing the snert due to emergency dinner plans change...i had a bite (or two) of cold snert however, and that gave me enough information to decide that it will not stay frozen for long.
