[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here! She hadn't made any food. It was literally sandwiches/picnic stuff, meet in the yard - not a dinner party! If I'd known she were cooking, of course, we would have clarified (or sucked it up). It was like, let's meet and hang with the kids in the yard.[/quote]

Sorry, I missed this post from OP.  So then did your SIL go and buy sandwiches and prepare a picnic for your family?  Or do you mean that she literally prepared no food for your family and then got upset with you for bringing food?[/quote]

OP here. The latter! No food was prepared!![/quote]

So, you brought food to an event that wasn't a food for everyone event?

I am more and more confused.[/quote]

This isn't complicated. OP brought sandwiches to her sister's house to eat while hanging out. Sister hadn't prepared anything ahead of time.[/quote]

I feel like I get more confused. each time I read this thread.

SIL called OP and invited her over.  Nothing was said about food, and the invitation didn't mention food (e.g. it wasn't "come over we'll have a picnic" it was just "do you want to come play in the backyard for an hour?").  OP packed a full meal.

At some point, OP brought out the food but when.  I assumed it was when SIL was also bringing out food, but now I'm confused.  Did OP just pull out sandwiches when SIL wasn't eating or offering food?  Because that would have been rude prepandemic, and the pandemic doesn't make it less rude.  Did SIL pull out food for her family, and not offer OP any, and then OP pulled out food?  I am unclear how it went down.
