Oh my goodness I just sent my fondue set which I received in 1979 to a consignment shop. So much fun having fondue night that I probably should’ve kept it and revised it after Covid crisis is over. The table was Hideouslygorgeous! Made me laugh out loud!

Never let these people leave. You all make me so happy. I’m 66 and am in love with Phillip and his quite funny puns. I know, I’m much too old for him. Lol. ❤️

I was snorting at Phillips dodgy puns🤣Thanks for cheering me up.

I just love Selmar ! He always has a giggle and a laugh when speaking. He's just so happy ! I love you Selmar !!!

What I love about this channel and Stephanie is that it encourages you do what you love with what you have. From buying beautiful plates that range from expensive to adorable and giving them a new life, to cooking more, getting back out in nature, decorating, planting a garden from seeds. They encourage you to try new things regardless if it fails or not. To do what makes you happy. You can have the life you want whether in your apartment or in a chateau with land. Life is what YOU make it.

“Stop laughing at your own jokes!” Oh Cat! You and Phillips’s relationship is like that of siblings. 😂😂😂

You can plant the chrysanthemums and they will come up again in the spring to bloom in early fall. Marie will appreciate them!

My parents got a Fondue pot and disks and forks in the 70's - Now I'm a proud owner of those and I love making fondue, specially the meat one. I also remember Fondue ads on TV as a kid with a couple being intimate while enjoying a pot of Fondue.

I remember that commercial. Wd always had fondue when hosting Sarah Coventry parties, Tupperware.....the fun, lol

That was a beautiful gathering of Fondues. Fondont’s, and Funnnndooo’sss!!

Oh my goodness, I had the exact same fondue book in the 1970's!! I not long parted with it which is even stranger... We had many a wonderful evening with friends around: using 2 fondues, one for meat and the other was cheese. We had homemade coleslaw which went with the meat and celery with cream cheese. It was delicious! Chaps would bring beer for themselves and of course that 70's classic Matêus Rosé. I decorated the table with an orange and brown floral tablecloth which was my Mum's, that I STILL own. And strangely enough I too had the exact green glasses you have and I still have them! Some things you just can't get rid of. Watching your fondue night took me back to some great parties with great friends. I now mainly used fondue for chocolate and marshmallows with my grand children. Just as fun! x

Our fondues, late 70's early 80's, were raucous events. Low tables, cushions on floor, etc and thank God fondues can't talk. But they were epic fun. Great show as usual, thank you.

Fondue's and fondon'ts absolutely made my day

My parents would have huge fondue parties on Christmas Eve when I was a teen. If you lost your food off your fork you had to take a drink of wine. The adults only of course but us teens were sneaking the wine too!Fun times.! Love LaLande❤️

Stephanie, Philip and Cat, you've made this so much fun, I'll now have to give it a go... at 69 I've never had Fondue! 🏰🎄👍

“Fon dos and Fon donts” OMG! He is so funny! Cracked me up! Phillip was totally on a roll in this video.

Move over Martha Stewart, you got some table setting completion on your hands. What’s old is new again. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Marie, I grew and sold flowers at a farmer's market when I was your age. I would make a bouquet at the stand in a color combination that I was not particularly attracted to, but felt led to do it. Someone would walk up as soon as I was done and this combination was exactly what they wanted.

My parents had fondue parties when I was little. We loved it. One cheese, one hot oil and dessert with chocolate. I now want to go out and buy a fondue pot.

You just keep on joking, Phillip! Don't let that woman intimidate you! I personally was thinking of "fon du siècle."

Ooooohhhh, Stephanie, I woke up today, rolled over, and thought :"Today's the day Stephanie gets that 100k". Such a thought to have first thing in the morning that I had to check. And you've DONE IT! I've watched you work for this forever, so this is my first ever public comment, to say CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I remember when fondue parties were all the rage! Then they went out with a huge bang and people really turned on them! Thank you for the video!

Best KZread channel by far 🧡🌹❤️

Oh fondue! Yes, Philip, you are spot on with fondoos and fondont’s! It brought back fond memories! The Germanic common rule is, if your lump of bread falls of your fork you have to drink a Kirsch Schnaps! Good times! Kissing the men! I may be old but but ours was the generation of the first mini skirts, hot pants, burn your bra, skintight satin overalls. And magnificent parties. I so enjoy the community you created, Stephanie, because it’s joy and love in the time of COVID. The only way to make it through. Better days will come!

The advent calendar 12 days are the Best ❤🥰 Missing mummy and her husband.

Wonderful Stephanie it took me back to when I use to host Fondue Parties in the late 70's early 80's and we use to have a meat fondue and lots of wine. It was just as you described and I remember all the laughing and fun we had.

Cat, you are women after my own heart. I too roast my vegetables for soup, creates such a depth of flavour. The table setting looks like it could be out of a magazine,. Love watching all of the fun you have at Lalande.

“I’ll find something that does not explode”......the best 70s quote.

Ask Dan to plant the mums in the garden so you can have them year after year.

Fondue was very popular in the 70's in California and I owned a book like that back then. Hot tubs, california wine and fondue!

Love Kat and her humor! Would love to cook with her.

"It's insane and I like it!" I couldn't agree more. So many crazy items all put together somehow makes it a little sane and it works. Fondues are always great fun and from here on foreward I swear to use the term "Fondo's and Fondon'ts".

Its was so kitch, that it was beautiful! 😁

You make a special event out of every meal together. Lot's of fun people, and knowing we are all watching likely helps.

Loved it when Phillip makes himself descend into uncontrollable laughter! That hole in the tablecloth? Is it a hole in fon?

Oh no, I dropped my bread, whats the forfeit. Enjoyed this. My teenage years were in the 70s, do not recall it being this much fun. X

Steph is always gorgeous, and I think her light blue outfit in the Xmas Diaries intro is my second favourite ever after her iconic yellow in the regular Chateau Diaries intro

I loved fondue and still have two fondue pots. They are actually very useful pots for many types of foods. They are great to keeping hot dips warm at the table. Not just for fondue. I use one of my fondue pots when I make chocolate candy at Christmas. And it's a great pot to use for desserts: like dipping ripe strawberries in melted chocolate...or ripe banana chunks...or marshmellows, then roll the chocolate covered marshmallow in crushed Graham Cracker crumbs. Yum.......LaLande should have a fondue dessert night!

I Am ready with chips, in my bed ! My Highlight moment of the Day ! Thanks ! Groetjes aan Selmar !

Philip's with both Stephanie and Cat seems the lovingly antagonistic sibling--bad puns, eye-rolling, recitation of past grievances and unfortunate decisions, and lots of laughter.

That table setting brought me back to my childhood.

Always fabulous. Love hearing them all read.❣🎄❣

La Lande's people energy is fantastic. No matter the video, after 5 min I am always smiling. :D

I had my first cheese fondue in 1994 , working as a nurse in a "Reha Klinik", on top of a Swiss mountain, of the car free village Braunwald. Since that first time you can wake me up for a cheese fondue! What a great episode of the advent calendar!
