Years ago when our children were little, we'd get them all snuggled in their beds after their own supper. Then we would get all dressed up and do a fancy dinner for two! We called it "An Evening Out.....In". It was a way to have a special dining experience for far less than going out.
He is such a darling isn't he. I'm so with you on Selmar..Just seeing him is soothing. He is a remedy. We could all do with a Selmar right now. I'm lucky to say he reminds me of one of my 3 brothers although Selmar is a little softer in all aspects.
You need a dome silver plate cover to keep the food warm (like hotel's use) on the way to the winter salon..just giving you excuse to go out shopping at your favorite thrift store. 😉
Both dinners have special features about them. Love how everyone is in cocktail attire and one can never go wrong with the little black dress or an icy blue gown.
You all prolly dont give a damn but does any of you know of a method to log back into an Instagram account? I was dumb forgot the login password. I appreciate any tips you can give me.
We’ve decided my hubby and I we’re going to do a come dine for each of our birthdays! His is a week before mine so I’ll cook his and he’ll cook mine and we’re going to do a theme for the food! Love the idea!
Does anybody care who win? Not us , you are all so wonderful, l cannot remember when l laugh so much. It was so delighful to watch all the fun and frienship you are enjoying .From my sick bed , l was totaly with you, thankyou so very much , you all transport us in a wonderful fairy tale life!
As a music lover, Selmar providing records tailored to each person, makes me vote for Two Dutch Men and a Blonde Brit. That, and the ambiance of having dinner in the winter salon next to the Christmas tree gave this team the winning edge, in my opinion, because the food both nights looked delicious. The waltzing at the end was the icing on this wonder FULL LaLande cake🤗
I just saw Michael's recent video and I also wanted to send love your way. You are the BEST Stephanie, don't let any sad sorry people get you down. You are a shining light and hopefully the brilliance of the love and good feelings that the overwhelming majority have for you will BLAST their sorry sad little lies away. You are flourishing and prospering and that's what they can't stand. Keep it up, girl, you inspire me all the time to go for it!
Lol!!! Philipp and Marie dancing 💃 I am dying with laughter and have gone back to watch it again and again. Philipp is genuinely so fun and still such a gentleman.
OMG I needed this today, cheered me up no end! Everything was done with such love fun and care! Selmar is so cute in his yellow tie in your honour Stephanie...he's getting even more handsome!!! All the ladies looked so beautiful - well done for letting Marie lead and sweeping her off her feet Philip -hahahaThank youxxxx
She whips up these fancy hairstyles in such a jiffy , Im left simply amazed! Unless Analisse did it before she left, but I think she was gone by then?! Lol
OMG! The Dancing... I was laughing out loud.... my husband wanted to know what in the world was going on! Thanks for that! Marie had a FANTASTIC idea and it was fun for all of us!
I share a bubble with my daughter son in law and granddaughter. I eat frequently at their house but missed hosting. Now they come over once a month for a surprise dinner. It has prompted me to purchase dishes glasses and silverware to decorate the table. You all have set a fun example for me.
That's so nice! So happy you can do that. It's fun, isn't it? :-) My son and DIL live in the next town. The COVID numbers have been rising here. They work for the same family owned company, and their boss is taking all precautions with his employees for their families. The DH is retired, so home, and I work at the local greenhouse. I'm the only employee until Feb. We've all been hunkered down for months, seems like. All summer we did dinner with our son and DIL once a week outside at the picnic table, now that it's winter we're doing Sunday lunch at our house, playing cribbage or Scrabble afterward. It's lovely. I've been using my china and table linens too, candles lit.
Quel style et quelle élégance autant dans le choix des mets et leur réalisation que dans les tenues ! Stéphanie, cette robe est féerique ! Les 3 dames en robe noire ravissantes ! Philip, cette table et ce service furent impeccable 👌! Bravo Selmar pour cette pâtisserie aux fruits et ce cocktail ! Ça donne envie 😋 ! Merci Marie pour la reconnaissance et la Gratitude 🌸🌸🌸
Highly entertaining and a feast for the eyes. Stefanie, you looked like the picture of elegance in that dress with your attractive hair style. Pleased to see your subscribers continue to grow. Everyone is working hard, and quality of the vlogs keeps rising.
Please know I represent a local group that gather to watch, laugh, and enjoy your vlog. We are all media professionals and we understand the hours of hard work needed by you to publish this huge amount of video. Unbelievable really. We understand how the trolls affect you and yours. We are living through enormous societal changes. Good and bad ppl now have access to our lives. We stand for love and kindness... we stand with you.
Most inspirational ladies and gentlemen. "Kiss of La Land" Selmar, you are full of surprises. May I suggest a book containing all of your delicious cocktails.... ❤🇦🇺
Well, the winner to me is Stephanie, Phillip and Selmar!! with the presentation and different courses of food and music and just plain everything! Loved it all. Fantabulous ❣️❣️❣️
The things you brought them Jenni were wonderful! Once you actually catch the peacocks and get them back to your place Stephanie will have to come vlog them there.
These vlogs are just the uplift I need in my stress filled life and bring me such joy. :) Marie you absolutely have inspired me with this idea. I need to do a night like this. So fun and wonderful!!
Ahhh...laughing out loud through tears of joy at the dancing scene, I realized this is the first time I have laughed today. That has what has changed for me during this pandemic...my laughing has been flattened into occasional smiling. You have made me decide I will focus on rediscovering the joy in life. There is a television commercial in the US which assigns a monetary value to things, ending by depicting something that is “priceless.” That is what the Chateau Diaries are to me. Priceless. Thank you seems inadequate.
Marie's toast hit the nail on the head! Lalande IS a wonderful 'diversion' from the stress of the times and your talents and creativity is VERY inspiring and FUN! THANK YOU ALL!
Did anyone else catch that when they were trying to catch the Peacocks, Stephanie and Selma so did not look happy being up at that early hour but Nati was all "bright eyed and bushy tailed" standing in the doorway at that early hour. lol Too Funny.
Daniel Boulud has an incredible stuffed pumpkin recipe with lardons and creme fraiche and gruyere...all layered inside the pumpkin and baked in a brick oven low and slow...it's delicious and can feed a crowd!
This was all so uplifting, so hilarious, I was in stitches, the superb effort put into a meal, so much attention to detail, from Selmar’s little pastries, Phillip’s cutlery, the beautiful table setting, etc etc, Stephanie is in her absolute element, there is nothing to touch her, hearing her laughter along with all the others is like an injection of well-being and our problems just evaporate!
I don't get though why they don't just cook a vegan glutenfreie meal for all? It's supposed to taste yummy so everybody could eat it. Why make a alternatives to the "real" one? If they are going to rate it anyway?
@@FM-ix8xc I think it's probably because they're used to doing it that way. It would be difficult to always incorporate everyone's needs in the same dish because it would have to be vegan, gluten-free AND "philip-friendly". Philip and Mandy are pretty much on different ends of the spectrum because he can't eat a lot of things, but eats meat, while Mandy doesn't eat any animal products, several of which Philip does seem to be able to eat.
@@FM-ix8xc That's assuming that everyone's nutritional needs are the same. While I can eat a vegan meal once or twice it won't harm me but it doesn't meet all my needs. Meaning that after a few days of vegan food I become malnutrition. Veganism is great for some but not for all. This way everyone can get a satisfying meal that suits their needs.
no it'd be better if it was the Petherick team! Wouldn't that be fun?? Michael, Billy, Gwen, maybe even Ryan, since he 'is' like an adopted son! hahah I'd LOVE that episode.
Stephanie!! THAT DRESS! LOVE-LOVE!! Stunning as always! And of course, the gentleman and other ladies never fail to impress! Thank you all for allowing us to share these wonderful parties with you. Please do more!! xoxoxo
Unbelievably gorgeous dinnerware, divine service staff and absolutely stunning evening attire. The food was inventive and delicious by the opinions of the dinner #2 guests. I laughed hysterically at the Phillip/Marie dancing faux paux. Stephanie, you not only looked amazing but I really hope you do this again. So much fun to be a part of this. The initial planning phase was also very funny. Omg. Snake soup?? Lol. Lol. Thank you! I’m very interested in trying out the cocktail, Kiss of La Londe. Cleaver. So very clever. I have to add that the peacocks 🦚 are truly going to be difficult to relocate. They love their La Londe home and the gentle genteel inhabitants.
What a treat , the food prep by Selmars delicate touch and Stephanie, the serving of the plates by Philip, the giggling, dancing and overall very proper dinner service, a night to remember!! How nice, thank you from us all.
I can't wait to watch this after I get home from work this evening. The La la ladies really set the bar high, so I can't wait to see how you three did!
This, “competition”, was an excellent idea and just loved watching it unfold! You all are so creative, skilled, talented, fun and loving! How wonderful to have such great friends! Loved what Marie said at the end! Selmar killing it with the pastries! 🙌🏻
I laughed so hard at Marie dancing I very nearly wet myself 🤣🤣💦 Soo much fun 💃❤️ Marie reminds me of my sister Trudy who has a very quiet voice, loves all things natural yet she is quite clumsy, a very dry sense of humour that has you in stitches without her meaning to and the biggest heart of anyone. You've got to love them ❤️
I can't even speak! you are all SO BEAUTIFUL and have managed to pull me out of the depths of lockdown and into your dream♥ The food looked wonderful & it was a pleasure to enjoy the process of preparing it as well. THANK YOU STEPHANIE and friends.♥♥♥ it was also lovely to see the ians...PEACOCKS all grown up🦚🦚🦚
Absolutely beautiful! The food, drink, desert, music, and dance ... the whole dinner was breathtakingly beautiful and so well presented and served so elegantly. All of you looked divine! Thank you for bringing us into Chateau LaLande to so much beauty and fun. LOVE IT!!!
Love this episode. I laughed so much at the dancing with Marie. What a hoot. The dinner was so beautifully done. And Phillip handles himself like a gentleman from the 18 th century and it fits him. Selmar with his beautiful dancing as always. And you Stephanie as always the true Lady of her Chateau. What beauty to live that way , especially now in this pandemic. What joy you brought me. I thank you, God bless all.
So much fun to watch✅ Everyone looked AMAZING ❗️ Stephanie, that dress is MAGNIFICENT 😍 Nice to see Marie stepping out of her comfort zone. I am loving her journey. She is so precious. The day you all go your separate ways will be heartbreaking. 🥺😩😢😭
This was so much fun to watch! Thank you to Marie for such a great idea. It was such a fun competition no matter who ends up "the winner". We all win just from enjoying the making of the splendid dinners to the laughter of the dancing afterward.
Dam that waltz! Now I've got to clean up my tea off the table/floor that I spit out in laughter watching Marie lead Phillip across the floor. It was worth it!
(Moira Ashton) What a lovely evening, enjoyed every minute!! Such a lovely ending with the dancing, and laughing at Philip sweeping Mari off her feet, lovely!!🥰😍💗💓
You have given me reason to polish the silver and haul out the china. Thank you! Stephanie looks like goddess in chiffon with a French twist. Everyone looks elegant. 1 last note, well done on considering individual dietary needs.
Two wonderful dinner parties ... seems like everyone came out a winner. Phillip always brings a smile to my face. The salmon dip looked delicious and the dip that Marie and Phillip executed was divine. Bravo to both culinary teams!!

When Selmar did his little happy dance after he put the pastries in the oven!!! So precious. I love that man! He warms my heart!!!
I like him too, he seems like a very caring and warm person :)
He is such a darling isn't he. I'm so with you on Selmar..Just seeing him is soothing. He is a remedy. We could all do with a Selmar right now. I'm lucky to say he reminds me of one of my 3 brothers although Selmar is a little softer in all aspects.
Now I see Selmar more, he definitely grows on me, he has such a heart, so much to give, he is superb!
Nice to see Annalise. Having them over for another "Dine with me" is a great idea.
Phillip, such a gentleman letting Marie lead. That dip was fantastic.
Bravo, Phillip!
That’s love 💕
I was laughing so hard!!! 😂😂😂
You made laugh with tears in my eyes! 😂
You need a dome silver plate cover to keep the food warm (like hotel's use) on the way to the winter salon..just giving you excuse to go out shopping at your favorite thrift store. 😉
And so we can watch the shopping!
They really don't need another excuse.......🤣
I was thinking the same thing!
Warm the plates first!
I thought Philip’s “snake” looked more like Bjork’s swan dress when draped around his neck 😂
i thought the same thing ahaha
😆
Yes!!!!!
I shouted that at the TV 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@MoominBetz lol
Both dinners have special features about them. Love how everyone is in cocktail attire and one can never go wrong with the little black dress or an icy blue gown.
I was literally crying with laughter when Marie was ‘leading’ with Phillip. What a great vlog. Thankyou to the LaLande gang!
Yes, I was too. Partner dancing is so much fun.
You all prolly dont give a damn but does any of you know of a method to log back into an Instagram account?
I was dumb forgot the login password. I appreciate any tips you can give me.
Me, too. They are all so utterly gorgeous!
We’ve decided my hubby and I we’re going to do a come dine for each of our birthdays! His is a week before mine so I’ll cook his and he’ll cook mine and we’re going to do a theme for the food! Love the idea!
Everyone has clearly enjoyed the presentations and each other’s company. I personally would mark this first competition as a resounding draw.
It is all in the fun, secrecy, surprise and pageantry... wonderful to want to make such a thoughtful experience sensation for the ones you care about.
Does anybody care who win? Not us , you are all so wonderful, l cannot remember when l laugh so much. It was so delighful to watch all the fun and frienship you are enjoying .From my sick bed , l was totaly with you, thankyou so very much , you all transport us in a wonderful fairy tale life!

That was way too funny. Marie leading Philip. I loved Stephanie’s hair and dress.
Lol!!! Philipp and Marie dancing 💃 I am dying with laughter and have gone back to watch it again and again. Philipp is genuinely so fun and still such a gentleman.
Awww I felt so bad for Selmar, when Marie said 'more raisins'. The look on his face.
OMG I needed this today, cheered me up no end! Everything was done with such love fun and care! Selmar is so cute in his yellow tie in your honour Stephanie...he's getting even more handsome!!! All the ladies looked so beautiful - well done for letting Marie lead and sweeping her off her feet Philip -hahahaThank youxxxx
Stephanie please show us how you do your hair, you did it a few weeks ago too, its fab!!
Yes, please do! I would love to put my hair up that way. It's just a bit longer than yours, Stephanie 💗
She whips up these fancy hairstyles in such a jiffy , Im left simply amazed! Unless Analisse did it before she left, but I think she was gone by then?! Lol
Phillips and Mary's dance👌... I'm still laughing 💛💛💛
Peace Love I agree. Loved it!

@@myhomeandcastle9197 I just subscribed to your channel! Keep going friend!
Fantastic dinner, beautiful china, extraordinaire ambiance, and finished with Phillip dipping Marie. Lmao!
4 minutes in - something very Bjork about Phillip’s squash neckwear. ❤️
I am certain you have inspired people all over the globe to host their own versions of 'Come Dine With Me'!
Absolute, I go for it 👍👍👍👍
I will plan one with my bubble as soon as I can order that cheese shaver flower maker gadget. Any tips to buy online?
You look like Cinderella in that dress! So beautiful 💙
Selmar as a pastry chef produced a beautiful and structural dessert - he's a natural!
Well, the winner to me is Stephanie, Phillip and Selmar!! with the presentation and different courses of food and music and just plain everything! Loved it all. Fantabulous ❣️❣️❣️
I love your clothes tonight as well, Phillip's color combo is great, and of course the food looks perfect.
You guys are brilliant , don’t ever change.
Selmar's Tarts and Phillip's Snake!! what more can we ask for

Stephanie reminded me of Princess Grace of Monaco in the dress with the French chignon type hair. Beautifully elegant.
@Cleo I know - I meant how she looked and conducted herself. ;)
Marie and Philip dancing was the best! So cute and funny😂 seems like such fun!
From the Nordic Marie look a little like polka dance 🥂

Oh well...I had a plan to have a lazy evening... And now I am going to defreeze my puff pastry dough and make Selmar's dessert🤦
Daniel Boulud has an incredible stuffed pumpkin recipe with lardons and creme fraiche and gruyere...all layered inside the pumpkin and baked in a brick oven low and slow...it's delicious and can feed a crowd!
That sounds delicious... they should do it next time they fire up the wood oven! 😛
Selmar’s writing is beautiful! The prettiest apple pie recipe ever!
Loved this. Laughed so much watching Philip and Marie dancing. Didn’t realise I was laughing out loud!!!
Same!! I startled my teenage daughter and she left the room because I was so loud- BWA HA HA HA!!!
It would drive me crazy having team Marie coming in and out the kitchen when prepping the meal . :D
This was all so uplifting, so hilarious, I was in stitches, the superb effort put into a meal, so much attention to detail, from Selmar’s little pastries, Phillip’s cutlery, the beautiful table setting, etc etc, Stephanie is in her absolute element, there is nothing to touch her, hearing her laughter along with all the others is like an injection of well-being and our problems just evaporate!
The best way to escape this pandemic is to be enchanted by one of your vlogs.Thank you!!!

This is such a great idea. I miss the occasional night at.a great restaurant - but Chez La Lande seems a lovely!
We just get SUCH a kick when we see Selmar wearing our apron! Way to go big guy!
My goodness Philip has amazing taste in cutlery!! 😍💕
Meeting everyone’s dietary needs is the biggest effort.
I don't get though why they don't just cook a vegan glutenfreie meal for all? It's supposed to taste yummy so everybody could eat it. Why make a alternatives to the "real" one? If they are going to rate it anyway?

I think the peacocks were trying to say something when they were looking thru the windows. They are so pretty.
Yes I agree, I believe they were trying to say something...What's going on? Don't split us up Stephanie..boohoox

This was so much fun to watch! Now who won??? We’re in suspense now.
Stephanie said on the live chat that she will tell us next vlog. 😂🤣
I laughed so hard at Marie leading Philip in a "waltz". You all have so much fun it is contagious. Thank you for sharing!!
Me too. LOL
I totally loved the waltzing at the end. I burst out laughing when Marie took the lead. What a treat when a new Lalande video comes out.
Everyone looked so nice. Stephanie so elegant. I love the dancing, the ending made me laugh out loud. So cute!
Philip is just so fun!
I can't wait to watch this after I get home from work this evening. The La la ladies really set the bar high, so I can't wait to see how you three did!

This was so much fun to watch! Thank you to Marie for such a great idea. It was such a fun competition no matter who ends up "the winner". We all win just from enjoying the making of the splendid dinners to the laughter of the dancing afterward.
Dam that waltz! Now I've got to clean up my tea off the table/floor that I spit out in laughter watching Marie lead Phillip across the floor. It was worth it!
Marie what a excellent ideal. You guys did so good both meals. Phillip and Marie made me laugh so hard when they were dancing.
I have had the best laugh for Saturday morning!!!
Marie and Phillip gotta love it!!!
That is about how I dance, still trying in my mind.
Next time the song to use when serving The cocktail 'The Kiss of La Lande' play the song by Louis Armstrong... ' A Kiss to Build a Dream On'.
I just love going back and watching the passed videos , i was laughing so much at Marie and Philip dancing . 🤣
Wow, Stephanie, where is the gorgeous blue silk pleat gown from? Is it vintage?
🥰 I believe she mentioned (on a Christmas diaries chat) that it was from “Self Portrait” 🥰
Stephanie looks so pretty in that color. Great color for her. :)
(Moira Ashton) What a lovely evening, enjoyed every minute!! Such a lovely ending with the dancing, and laughing at Philip sweeping Mari off her feet, lovely!!🥰😍💗💓
Very touching little speech Marie. I totally agree. The food and table is fantastic.
You have given me reason to polish the silver and haul out the china. Thank you! Stephanie looks like goddess in chiffon with a French twist. Everyone looks elegant. 1 last note, well done on considering individual dietary needs.
You really look like Prof. McGonagall with that hairstyle. That’s a compliment. And your dinner is gorgeous. Wishing of that kind of dinner ✨🥰
Did Philip say ‘Oh my Gourd’ - is he making Dad jokes again 😁
That was a great idea from Annalise! Social distancing dining!
Two wonderful dinner parties ... seems like everyone came out a winner. Phillip always brings a smile to my face. The salmon dip looked delicious and the dip that Marie and Phillip executed was divine. Bravo to both culinary teams!!
This is what great life is...Great food, great ambiance, great friends, great music, great fun.
This video was GREAT from begining to end.
I was in stitches watching Marie and Phillip dancing!
Love your dress Stephanie!
Always beautiful:)
