The Anderson picnic for the fourth of July celebration brought together essentially all of the Anderson family and relatives for the sharing of comfort foods. Family gatherings foster fond memories. They generate stories for the future of, "Remember that time when..." that is passed on from one year to the next. The little Anderson kids would often respond, "Cool!" That's what the Anderson picnics were about.

When little Jimmy went to college, he would tell his new friends about the annual Anderson event. Most of his friends were jealous. Those who seemed uninterested were really envious on the inside. Jimmy would compare the cafeteria food with comfort foods he had at the picnic. This was especially the case about grilled chicken. Of course, there was no comparison.

It was not long before Jimmy had a college girlfriend. To his pleasant surprise, she was very interested in knowing more about the Anderson picnic and the comfort foods that were served. She especially enjoyed hearing about which Anderson family member prepared which dish. Her small family had a similar picnic on an annual basis, and she was curious to learn how Jimmy's family and relatives celebrated the fourth of July. That summer, Jimmy invited her to the Anderson picnic.
