I like that idea of One Fork Entertaining. I've never heard it called that, but it's a good plan. We have a dining room, but it's tiny. Our table is an oval and can seat up to 6 people, but it's a tight fit. We've learned to just move the living room couch (the dining room and living room are really one large open space), and push a card table (or 2!) up against the dining table. The seating for dining then extends into the living room, but at least we can all sit together if we have a large-ish group.

Entertaining in smaller spaces can be a lot more challenging, but on the plus side, it's a lot more cozy.

And that is what true hospitality is — using what you do have (creatively) to bless other people.

I should add that you will want to make knives and spoons available, especially to older people, who of course should be seated at whatever table you have.

Just that juggling 3 utensils would not be necessary for your menu.
