Logging food

Tonight I'm going to a tasting for my rehearsal dinner. I'm assuming I'll just be having a bite or two of a couple different foods, but I don't know how to log it. Thoughts?

    Find the closest items on MFP to what you eat, and estimate a few bites (1/8-1/2 cup probably) of each.

    And if it is something with lotsa ingredients try to break it down by ingredient. Good job on logging even the smallest bites

    Use your phone to take a picture of everything you taste, then log in the food with the closest description with the portion. 1-2 bites is probably 1/4 cup

    I would try to guesstimate as best I could the calories and quick add...Otherwise, it sounds like a pain in the butt trying to break everything down...My mom is doing the cooking for my rehearsal dinner! (That one will not be low fat/low cal, my mother is a FAB southern cook...BUT its one meal so I am not bothered by that! :) )
