Dear Queenie,
Last week I invited some friends over for dinner. I cooked a lot of food so I could have leftovers to eat for a few days after that, but they all ate so much there wasn’t anything left over.
Queenie, why are people so greedy?—Annoyed hostess
Dear Hostess,
It is reasonable for guests to believe they are welcome to eat everything that is on the table in front of them. Obviously you did not expect your guests to have such hearty appetites.
In the future, if you want to be sure of having leftovers, prepare a lot more food and set part of it aside before you serve the meal.
