I find myself coming back again and again to LaLande. So much laughter and fun---a great escape from the troubles of the world.
Selmar, I love your hair pulled back.
The Dutchmen look dashing and that food looked exceptionally delicious.
Those Dutchmen look fantastic in their finery. Jebus, Selmar really knows how to WOW.

Best name, no question. Well done.
Please tell Philip that when people ask me why I can't eat nuts, I simply answer that I am nuts enough already.
I can’t thank you enough you happy friends, I was really in that kitchen with you all enjoying the evening. What a fantastic idea, it all looked so professional, and cocktails too, wow. Can hardly wait for the next meal. You all looked so elegant you all deserve top marks. WCL

That was an amazing episode. The meal looked delicious and everyone looked beautiful. Thank you for letting us come to the dinner party. And thank you Stephanie for creating a world that I can escape to. You will never truly understand how much joy you and the LaLanders bring.
Selmar is a handsome fellow!
What a wonderful evening. The table, the food, getting dressed up, the plotting, the secrecy, everything! Can’t wait for round two:)

OMG! You guys REALLY know how to have a good time. Fancy table, fancy food, fancy dress...and just for yourselves. Can't wait to see the second dinner.
I love the way they create fun and excitement to keep their spirits up and have a bit of adventure along the way.

Can I say Stephanie, you completely impress me with your thank you’s at the end of each video. This was a delightful video and cannot wait to see what you, Selma and Philip create in the kitchen.
💗you’ve become a part of our lives and it’s such joy💗
This was a good choice for a competition. Thank you Marie.
Oh my goodness just when i think the vlogs can't get any better ..... fantastic what a lovely idea for a vlog defiently cheering me up in Uk lockdown no 3 Xxxx
The food, table and everyone looks amazing xx
I love Marie’s gorgeous smile.
Wow!! The men were especially well dressed tonight!! The ladies looking beautiful as always. What a gorgeous dinner at home. Well done Team Laladies.🥰
That was so much fun! What a great idea! Both teams all dressed lovely, but to me, the dark team looked the best. That dessert Nati made looked fabulous!!❣️😍
Thank you for this lovely evening. I feel like I'm there with you all enjoying the company and the food!
Bravo, ladies! That looked amazing...all of it! Somehow I have the feeling that “The Others” are very motivated after this to pull out all of the stops with their meal. I am expecting fabulous things. Selmar always surprises with his talents as do Stephanie and “the boy”.
WOW, WOW, WOW you girls out did yourself! Everything looks so good! You Girls ROCK!
Brilliant idea!! Really enjoyed this, can't wait for the 'duck off' on Friday :D

Stephanie, You're really going to have to up your menu for tomorrow. Get your wonderful French cookbooks out! This was fabulous fun to watch ... Thank you!
Absolutely loved this tonight, can’t wait for the next instalment.
Selmar you look soooooo stunning...I love your menbun 😊 the table looks gorgeous and the food delicious...I can't wait what the "otters" will prepare
Oh what a fun idea! Can’t wait for team the “Others”👍
OK… That was amazing. Can’t wait for the next one.
Very impressive!! Wonderful to see a family of friends coming together to make a wonderful celebration of food and cheer. It is very refreshing during this difficult time in history and is so appreciated by many. Thank you so much and bless you all. Love from Canada xo
I was smiling all the way through...nobody could do such good ad lib entertainment as this.
I cannot count how many times I laughed out loud...I mean REALLY loud!! How many times I just down right giggled my insides out!!! And how much I was in AWE of the entirety of it!!! Merci beaucoup Stephanie, Selmar, Nati, Marie, Philip et Mandy!!!! ❤️💕😘🏰⛪💒
The ladies are always stunning but WOWZA - Selmar and Philip - you both look spectacular !! I only wish Canadian men would dress this way for dinner! Really enjoyed the party!! Please share more of these!! xoxo
And the cookoff begins!
That was so much fun!
I literally cried when I listened to Michael’s last post. I’m so very sorry for the hurtful terrible things that have been said and the way Micael has been treated by they who shall not be named. (We know who. And we’re NOT happy!) But he was brave to finally tell his truth. That was so touching and will cause his friends to love him more because he’s been so vulnerable. Your vlog, Stephanie, is an absolute joy! Thank you for your hard work in bringing your love for “life and la Lande!” to us. I’m from Vancouver, Canada and never miss your episodes. Your incredible joy comes through in every episode (I’m sure you don’t always feel it, but you show joy anyway.) And you and all the dear ones at la Lande inspire us all...! I love Michael’s vlog too. He has won a lot of hearts with his engaging purist style and his warmth and talent...his family too. Thank you for EVERYTHING!
The roast parsnip looks delicious!
What a fun idea, everything looked beautiful.
What a fun vlog. Everything looked so good. So happy to see you all again.
Blessings! To everyone! Everthing looks delicious! Love competition! Cant wait! For the other team!
How wonderful to have dinner in the kitchen. The beautiful candlelight. The meal looked delicious. ❣
Interesting vlog. "Come dine with me" is such a popular TV programme in the UK. This is such fun. Can't wait for the next video to see who wins!

@@gailcraig4495 it's been going for many years here in the UK. The programme goes to a different town each time. 5 complete strangers take turns to cook a meal in their homes over 5 days, with a dress theme and often entertainment, and the others score them. The winner gets £1000. The mix of personalities is interesting. Some groups become good friends, others just don't get on. There is a narrator, who is very funny. Sometimes there will be a "Celebrity come dine me", and the winnings go to charity. Great fun.

The table looks stunning!
What a tease !!! Lol 😄 I can’t wait to see how ´The others’ will do! This would be hard to beat! Bravo ladies! 😍

What a great way to improvise a dining out experience! And a little fun competition always adds to the fun. Good luck team Stephanie and the Dutchmen, you’ll need it. Well done Marie, Nat and Mandy!
How fun that was to watch. The food looked so delicious. It really was like being at a 5 star Restaurant.. thank you
My favourite episode so far! And I've watched them all 😉

I so love all of the vlogs! watching from start to finish and am at 2020 Discover the Secret Attics. One small observation is that elusive Nick is missing out on being visible and present in this wonderful video capture of his life, his family in these years - having memories to rewatch later are priceless treasures for family and friends.

I'm with him on not enjoying being filmed, some of us are just quite camera shy. I'm sure he will still have plenty of memories to enjoy with his family, all the same.
Each of you are like family and I feel as I could just sit right down with you and join in with the banter.
Wonderful activities and friendship. I love all the progress and the friendly energy.
I love your black outfit Stephanie ❤
Wish I could LIKE ten times.
That was so much fun to watch! Can’t wait til tomorrow...

He has done better but still needs a LOT of work! Snorting is socially unacceptable and while he is on the camera and working the camera he really needs to be more thoughtful and careful. It is time Phillip and this boxing of his ears is done in a loving way. There is no desire to be mean, just helpful.

Congratulations!! re New Video. Stories, Food & Beautifully Dressed. Is Awesome.
Wow, how much fun was this? And do I have it right, that in addition to Part Two of Come Dine With Me, we also have Part Two of the final Christmas Present Unwrapping later this week? So much joy to look forward to🤗
(Moira Ashton) Great fun evening! Everyone looked lovely! Can't wait for the next one!!!
Stephanie! Love the outfit you wore shopping😍
Oh, when Phillip blushes by candlelight over his 3rd plate. Sigh...♥️
What a lovely way to entertain each other during a winter lul. Hugs
This was so fun to watch!! I am looking forward to watching the next one
Hi all😊what a great idea‼️ looked like a fantastic meal😘 ,can’t wait to see the challengers🙀‼️

Our son when he was in his teens and early twenties would 'sleep eat'. The number of times we would be up and see him still asleep, walk to the fridge get something to eat and then back to bed. He is like Phillip in size, he just burnt all that food off.
Everything was so lovely. Well executed and a treat for all to share. Thank you😊 Looking forward to seeing what the rival team will be bringing to the table.
I love that show Come Dine with Me. Watch it all the time. Great idea Marie! Cant wait to watch the next one. Cheers!
That was brilliant! What a good idea Marie. The shopping trip was hilarious, and then everything came together with everyone looking beautiful x
