Under the circumstances I'd recommend you cook something you already
have experience with and concentrate your efforts on presentation.
Think about how you're going to serve the meal, table decorations,
plate arrangements, a special dessert (even if it's bought). It's just
too chancy to try to cook something new and fancy. -aem
