Hi Randy... My name is Sohini. I am from India. I started watching your show recently and I love it. Watching you and Leonard has become a part of my life. I noticed in some of your videos that you enjoy warm rice with curry, gravy, etc. Do try making your rice with two pods of cardamom, an inch of cinnamon stick, half a teaspoon of cumin seeds n a bay leaf sauteed in a tablespoon of olive oil. Add the washed and soaked rice to it. Add some salt to taste. Warm water(for each part of rice, two parts of water). Cover n Cook. Hope you like it 🙂

[@dinnerpartytonight]

wonderful idea...I sure do love some curry!! Stay tuned for our HUGE christmas episode coming soon!!

[@sohinikar4058]

@@dinnerpartytonight hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving Randy. Looking forward to your HUGE Christmas episode. I firmly believe that the best way to tell someone that you care is making them a wonderful meal. It's not just recipes that you share with us. It's love and care.

Bonjour mes ami(es) ! Thanks for all the nice suggestions in this episode. As usual it is not just about the good looking and yummy food, the pleasure of watching it all about "la bonne humeur de Randy," la joie de vivre qu'elle dégage et de la complicité de l'équipe. Bravo for the accomplishment of the theater ! Wishing all of you guys and of course Leonard a Wonderful and Happy Thanksgiving ! Much love and appreciation your way !!! (( hugs ))

[@dinnerpartytonight]

thanks mama!! And thank you for being such a great fan!! Big christmas fun coming soon!!

Classic German grandma dish: Kohlrouladen (Cabbage Roulade). Cabbage Leaves filled with minced meat.

[@dinnerpartytonight]

holy cow!! Look on instagram! I JUST made that ( or a version of it!!). Thanks for watching!!!

[@DeeDeeDee57]

Love you!! You are the best! Happy Thanksgiving 🦃

[@rebekahbridges-tervydis5054]

I make the packets but, not as healthy. I make the mushrooms finished with sherry. Oh! And, I use puff pastry!

[@virginiasiewert514]

You and your creativity are truly fabulous!, So happy to have found your channel

[@sparkydoodle96]

green packets remind me of stuffed grape leaves and peppers. it's eastern european/middle eastern and the stuffing has spices and rice in it so it makes it a more substantial dish rather than a side. it's also cooked in olive oil and steamed. you can make them with essentially any leave, definitely cabbage(my mom loves stuffed cabbage i personally hate it but to each their own)

[@willbmw]

I'm glad I found you ( I know you weren't lost). I love your personality and culinary skills. Thanks

[@Jill4Today]

Where in Sam Hill have you been!!????? You have been so missed by a huge fan in Oregon. Very happy to see you. Once again, you have charmed the husk right off the corn. Super video. Thanks! PS -- Close Encounters!

[@KimberlyKuharik]

I love the Chicken Ballotines. These would be perfect as an entree by themselves. I love how you make everything look so easy and remind me how much fun cooking for and feeding my loved ones can be.

[@dinnerpartytonight]

my honor and pleasure!! Big christmas fun coming soon!! Thanks for watching!

[@paulbaker4644]

@@dinnerpartytonight Hello from Los Angeles. I started watching cooking videos as a way to relax. I have been dealing with a health issue that causes severe pain. In my search, I found Nigella Lawson, Gordon Ramsay, Martha Stewart and three days ago, I found Dinner Party Tonight. You are by far the best. Your personality is infectious. I was sitting on my sofa this morning almost in tears from pain, but found myself for the first time able to laugh through this pain. You are an absolute JOY to watch. Thank you for unknowingly helping a stranger. Only the Best - Paul ✌🙏🖖💙

[@dinnerpartytonight]

@@paulbaker4644 Paul - It is my honor to give a moment’s peace. SO much more to come that i hope you enjoy and I hope that you ARE ABLE TO HEAL while being distracted by our show. I don’t know if I’m “better” than Gordon but I sure appreciate the comment! Onwards, baby….onwards

[@staceyburge7263]

Oh my goodness ! How we have missed you ! Gotta try all ! Again you are so amazing. I've been through a really bad fall, which was a result of a broken hip . 😳 Getting better every day. Randy you are so talented and I enjoy every episode, anticipating the next episode. Thank you crew and Randy.

[@dinnerpartytonight]

Hey there!! I had a total hip replacement! Look at the video "NEW HIP"...it changed my life and I have FULL mobility now. SO SO sorry you had a fall..that is terrible! Glad I can offer some distraction while you return to perfect health!!

[@XxBREWxX]

I had to rewind the collard green fanning ..who’s that gentlemen at the bottom of the stairs part...hilarious 😆

[@deniseharrell1591]

I love your show! Thank you! You're just inspirational!

[@LongIslanderGal1]

Thank goodness your back! Great video, thank you so much!

[@roxylgzz7052]

Grape leaves could be an option but I've never done it with mushrooms only with meat and rice. The good part is they come in in a brine in a glass jar ready to use. Love Ur show.

[@eviem70]

Woohoo 🤗 Welcome back! You were missed

[@angelaziebarth1678]

Another amazing video!!!!! You are hilarious....should be titled dinner theater and dinner party tonight!

[@NovaScotiaLiving]

I just found your channel last night and watched the entire Christmas Spectacular special...then a couple and this morning with my coffee was this video. I'm totally hooked. You all have such positive and genuine energy radiating through these videos. Thank you for so much enriching energy and recipes. I truly want to try those green pouch leaves (totally keto friendly too for those interested) along with the stuffed chicken. Delicious. I always have a big fat Thanksgiving get together here in Nova Scotia and host 35-40 family in October here in Canada. I will definitely try some of these hits. Thank you thanks you thank you. Oh and just subscribed too. Peace love and happiness to each and everyone...and you beautiful pup too. He's gorgeous. So glad he is making out ok now. ~ Tracey

[@steviebear55]

Welcome back! We missed you! This vid has just about got me convinced to invest in a sous vide. Loved the green packets idea. As a Southerner, I’ve spent my entire life with collards and never seen anything like that. I so want to try this. And was that the theme from My Three Sons you were humming? Please keep the movie lines coming. Happy Thanksgiving to you and the team! So much fun to watch.

[@suziedemarco9935]

@@dinnerpartytonight Thanks Randy for all the inspiration!

[@protocolofficer2629]

A Polish friend of mine taught me what she called “Polish science!” All it means is to shave away the coarse cabbage vein down to a whispy thread and yes, I wondered about using cabbage in Canada as we find it really hard to find collard greens. (Cross over the border at Buffalo and it aboundeth). Go figure. Same thing with grits! Also, Gordon Ramsay is a psychotic and disgustingly rude, four letter purveying piece of 💩 and I have nothing to do with enabling him! Sorry to be negative. As you probably know by now, ah jes luf your videos and am always very happy to see a new offering. Thanks for this and Happy Yanksgiving (we Canucks who have the real Thanksgiving in October (harvest festival), differentiate your rather late celebration to our au courant one). Cheers, Colin. P.s. Graham Kerr (Care) is the Galloping Gourmet!

[@rebekahbridges-tervydis5054]

Do you rinse the mushrooms? Or rub them clean? It didn’t seem like you did but, I’m just double checking.

[@conservachick100]

I find wiping them clean works great and keeps the mushroom flavor more in tact. 😘❤

[@dinnerpartytonight]

hello! You should never wash mushrooms in water...they absorb too much! Susan is right. I wipe them clean. Laborious yes...but it keeps the flavor! Big christmas fun coming soon!!

Don't say collard greens....then folks will know your white... instead say "colla-greens" your black friends will double take 🤣🤣

[@rebekahbridges-tervydis5054]

Okay, lol as “green” as the green packets are...those chicken ballotines are anything BUT green. Man all the waste of landfill plastic.

[@dinnerpartytonight]

You are 100% correct. IMMEDIATELY after we filmed this (during which we commented so many times about the terrible waste) I began research on re-usable sous vide bags! They exist and have been ordered!! Thanks for watching!! Big christmas fun coming soon!!

Why is there an animal in the kitchen. Unsanitary. Especially when cooking for others.

The animal is not on the cooking counter. Chillax!
