You know how a potluck always has a lot of chips & dips? Eventually, the pretzels and some potato salad arrived, but up until then everyone brought sweets! I've never seen that happen before. I had meant to bake cookies, but realized that what I _really_ wanted was Oreos, so I bought some.

A picnic table set up with paper plates, buns, sliced cheese, and condiments for the hamburgers and hotdogs that are still on the grill, but everything else on the table is cookies, cake, chocolates, and fruit.

Tommy and Mandy brought a big bag of soft pretzels, and Bernie innovated by slicing one in half as the bun for his hamburger.
