Well it went fantastic 
Arrived at 3:30 and started the prep and at 7:15 dinner was served.
I guess the true testament was the fact that all the plates came back clean, but for the thigh bone
Now next time I have to remember to eat during the day. By 9pm when I left I was so physically drained and it was then it dawned on me that I had not eaten anything all day. Just the sips from tasting spoons.
The only 'problem' was I could not find the cucumbers for the appetizer and had to send my server to the store to grab some. The minute she got back, I found them
I guess I put them in the fridge and didn't even realize it.
Final menu was -
Cucumbers slices with sundried tomato cream cheese
Puff Pastry with black peper chicken puree
Coq au Vin
Salmon with Fennel
Herb Roasted Potatoes
Mixed Greens with an orange vinaigrette, orange supremes and toasted pine nuts
Whole wheat dinner rolls
It was cute cause the lady that hired me got my name and info from another client, who also happen to be there. As my new client is giving a tour to some of the guests she points to the kitchen and says "this is Chef Fennell who's preparing our dinner tonight...". Lots of ooo's and ah's. And then I hear my other client pipe in "Oh she's wondeful! I discovered her back in August..." Lol so now I've been discovered? hehe
