I had the opportunity to put my schooling to work this weekend. I was asked to cater a going away party for 40 on Saturday. It really went about as well as anything you do with food can go. Dinner was served a little late due to some SLOW cooking chicken, but I figure it gave people a chance to chit chat.
I had a friend help with this event- which was a brilliant idea, if I do say so myself. She was a huge asset... hello, she did the Costco shopping, stuffed 40 chicken breasts, did dishes, and generally kept us on task.
Here's the menu we used:

artichoke, parmesan and herb stuffed chicken
loaded mashed potatoes
dessert
chocolate mousse in white chocolate bowls with raspberry sauce and fresh whipped cream
Are you hungry now??
Unfortunately, the only picture I have is of the mousse cups (yes, we made the chocolate cups), and there isn't even whipped cream on it yet. What can I say? We were too busy to take pictures. And I gave my photographer the night off.
