  1. I absolutely love your videos. you are so very talented. I have an allergy when it come to MSG. could this be done as well without it?

  2. You’re simply amazing. Your energy, creativity and skill set, all of it… off the charts. Bravo 👏 and congratulations on your engagement 💍

  3. Utmost respect to you and your supportive husband for hosting an incredible dinner party that looked amazing in all facets!! What a fun theme but wow what an incredible effort in pulling off perfectly fried chicken and fries!! Logistic perfection! Love love all your hosting videos!! ❤

  4. Isabel! I have a glorious idea… I think it’s glorious because, well you’ll see… Would you ever do a dinner for maybe 10 people who watch you who want to do this and experience this with you?

  5. Sorry if I’m over commenting! But could you ever just give us a run through your kitchen to see what sorts of serving things you have and what sorts of containers you use… We get snippets along the way, but I was just wondering! And also, do you have a hardcopy cookbook? If not my goodness, you need to do one!❤🎉❤

  6. Kudos on an amazing dinner party and being able for us to follow the prep step by step. Love your enthusiasm and boundless energy. All the food was so thoughtful and carefully prepared. I have given many simpler dinner parties or large buffet pot lucks and they are exhausting to get everything in order. Most guests don't have a clue of how many hours it takes to host. Of course, alway worth as you watch friends enjoy the fruits of your labor. Edit: I hope your laptop survived. I spilled a glass of wine on my MacBook Pro. Unfortunately, I closed it and did not let it dry out. It happened again!!! this time I dried it with my hairdryer and melted some of the keys but they were able to be replaced. Now I am a teetotaler and very very careful about where I place my small Japanese teacup! How about an Asian dinner where friends make their own sushi rolls. You can get all the ingredient for miso online and scallions pancakes are easy to make. There is a dish called Chinese Chicken salad where you fry up thin rice noodles. I am sure you will find lots of food to make and be fun to use chopsticks and japanese fans & hanging lanterns et al for decoration…and bamboo/wood serving pieces. You all are young so maybe you can create a large table from planks and sit on the floor.

  7. Would love to see this type of show on Food Network. They have gone away from the heart of the channel. Actually now that I think about it the Magnolia Channel would be perfect! You do a fabulous job!

  8. Three pro tips: 1) iron on your bed (provided your top layer is a natural fiber); 2) dampen your tablecloth and toss it in the dryer and remove it IMMEDIATELY and lay on table; 3) set up your ironing board at the end of your table and slide smooth sections onto the table. Great looking party! I’m inspired!🥂

  9. This makes my Sunday every time! I have watched your videos on repeat and it just relaxes me and is so calm and inviting ❤❤❤❤

  10. Literally check every day to see your new video!!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😃 Please do more YouTube. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😉

  11. girl !! because of you i’m hosting a brunch for the first time at my place in june <3 thank you for inspiring mee, i get so excited when your full length videos are released!! 🙂

  12. Mayo also freaks me out. You could maybe grab some metal funnels with wide mouths to help you decant into containers (like the ones used for canning)? I have a few in my kitchen and they are super useful to prevent spills.

  13. i look forward to this bts every month!! you and aaron work so well together! my otp!!!! <33333

  14. Honestly I love this videos so much. Is currently my favourite thing on the internet. Also your fiance seems like such a perfect match for you you make amazing team! ❤️

  15. what does the vodka do in the wet batter for the chicken? i've seen pretty much everything else in some variation for wet batters, but never vodka! 🙂
