Where I am sitting it is the eve of Christmas and I’ve just sat down after a long day of cooking and trying to wash dishes in my mom’s fancy sink. My feet hurt and I am hungry.

Speaking of hungry there is a possibility that tomorrow someone will go home from the feast and feeling the same. This inevitability is a symptom of conflicting dietary “needs”. I’m sure you’ll run into a very similar situation with a house full of vegans, gluten freers, pelolithic throwbacks, and that one uncle who only eats deviled eggs and meat. 

If you need a strategy for surviving without starving your guests find one or two below.
