The Potluck Strategy: Social eating without the Monday regret

Nadia Wren

Every gathering has a table full of dishes and no clear plan for how to move through it. This is how to walk into a potluck with a steady approach: scanning what is actually there before filling a plate, deciding on portions without hovering by the food, handling the seconds question gracefully, and waking up Monday without the familiar guilt. Calm, sociable, and easy to carry into any kitchen or church hall gathering.
