That might fly if it was the first time she was eating with the
group. If this is a regular thing, she *must* have noticed the
other people eat more.

Besides, when you cook for people at an occasion
like that, don't you make extra? I would, just in case.
I don't even know in case of what (laugh). All I know
is I'd rather have a lot left over than even one person
thinking ... I'd better not take that last piece.

Bring extra, that's what she should do.
