Cookies...
Ok, Omi had made TONS of cookies, stolen bread among other things. They also told Omi to 'not go nuts making cookies', because they bought some at the store. (What did they not buy?) So when the Uncle asks what there is to eat when the power goes out... why didn't they offer him cookies!? (as a joke, instead of left overs) Where did all the cookies go?
"Beer it is!"
