What's French for "Eureka!"?

Coq au vin! It's perfect, I think: multiple steps, which appeals to my longing to be put through Julia's paces; super-French-sounding; elegant and appropriate for an Occasion...
I'll still serve scalloped potatoes (a level of richness that Julia Child would not approve of, I think, but what if the chicken didn't turn out and all we had were her suggested parsley potatoes? That would be a failure, I'm sure) and asparagus, and a salad to start. Chocolate cake for dessert, and cheese puffs if I get ambitious with the hors d'oeuvres. (Full disclosure: I totally had to look up how to spell hors d'oeuvres. I'm a babe in the woods with this French s#@%.)
