follow up: i should have brought the graham crackers.
i brought the cheesecakes and one of those three tier stands to set them on. i put them in place and took my seat at the meeting. they were hardly touched!
the food was amazing! there was a fruit platter and some kind of tarts with fresh fruit on it, also a cheesecake, a chocolate cake, cookies, pie (table top with the little hole in the center haha), pudding, ice cream, gummy worms!!!! in cups, and more. someone brought american chop suey (even tho it wa supposed to be desserts) so i had some of that. and enormous strawberries dipped in chocolate. there were other things, too. quite a spread
it was like a big foodie competition or something.
i tried to eat a cookie bar but it smelled funny ... i don't know ... and it was too hard to bite. then i noticed a tin with a christmas bow on it and i bet someone had them in their house all this time!!!!
i sat with some nice people.
but i can see that there are regulars who want to/try to run the show! they sat together frowning and shaking their heads 'no' at suggestions. blech.
