I watch these old videos and can't believe Phyllis and Bucky are both gone Steely and Sunny adopted by friends. The end of an era. So glad Steve is keeping the channel alive, though, thankful for that!!
I agree! I'm glad her son is keeping this going. I just found her 6 months ago! I love watching her videos. Her voice is very calming and she has a way of explaining that is easy to understand. Rest in Peace sweet lady.
What a delicious, simple dinner, Mr. Bucky is a lucky man! I would love to see more 1950's recipes, things seemed so much simpler then, and it's enjoyable to learn all your wisdom.
At 78, I never thought I could learn more about making scrambled eggs. I did ! I never knew about taking out those white bits. How I wish I could thank dear Phyllis. ❤️
You still live through these videos; it's so comforting, even though I never knew you, I feel at home when I watch your recipes. I am a thankful stranger. Thank you endlessly for this. I wish nothing but peace for your family and friends.
I forget every time, that she is gone until I come to write her a comment. I know it before , but during a video it is like she right there. Love this lady.
All your cooking videos remind me of my childhood. I'm only 20, but I grew up with my grandparents, so simple meals like you make were the norm for me. Watching these videos really makes me appreciate the simpler things.
Thank you for doing the great cooking videos. I am a widower for 5 years and your recipes are easy to follow and keep me from eating out. Keep em coming. I'm getting bolder
I do enjoyed this video. You have the sweetest southern voice! Thank you for sharing your mother's recipes. She was like my mother; she poured her love into her meals for her family! 💜
Mr Stokes Jr , I hope you see my comment. Thinking of you and sending prayers. May this particular video inspire you and give you strength as you continue the ministry of your Mother.
@@shepherdboy9692 Its especially difficult if you have followed for a couple years,knowing she's gone is so depressing.I think it's nice to make a recipe she shared and honor her.
Missing you Mrs Phyllis! I always looked forward to your videos. You’ll be proud to know your son is doing a great job telling us stories about you and blessing us with his recipes.❤️
I love how Phyllis eats and prepares simple ordinary foods. Nothing wrong with scrambled eggs any time of day for any meal. Eggs are wonderful protein and great for kids and all ages, too. I cook mine over medium low heat in butter, no milk. And use a lot of black pepper and a bit of salt. RIP dear lady. You live on in your son and your videos.
Hi, I am a new fan Phyllis, I run into your channel and I love it! I was born in 1952, so I"m going to be 65 in a few days, so blessed to be in my Golden Years. I loved growing back then!
Ms Phyllis you're so sweet and can you cook. I love how you speak about lessons learned from your mom. Thank you for sharing and I hope you're well. I also have that pan. God Bless you
LOVE YOU, PHYLLIS wherever you are! Yes, whatever part of Heaven you are in! TYSM! I hope you are coping, Mr. Bucky! Very difficult it is, I know! No words suffice! You are both in my thought and prayers! Shine on, Mr. Bucky....for Phyllis and yourself and family...and us!
God bless you Phyllis, you have LANDED the classic betty crocker fluffy scrambled eggs from the cover of the 1952 betty crocker cookbook!! Thank you!!!!👍🎉⛄🙏❄️❄️🎇🎆🎊👍👍
I'm watching this in February 2020. I also take the white "anchors" out of eggs. They tend to have a "ropey" texture. I'm glad to learn I'm not the only one who does this. I'm also a child of the 50s and 60s. We ate what was served. If we didn't like something, my mother said we needed to find a higher priced boarding house.
Oh my squee, Phyllis! This video brings back memories of my Granny Myrtle! Totally forgot about cleaning the "tails", but love the evap milk reminder; I only buy skim and splurge now and then on a small half and half. So very refreshing to see a properly scrambled egg, as I was taught! Thanks so much for sharing your "Mother's Eggs" from this sub. Always, MJ
This really takes me back to my childhood. I remember my grandmother telling me to dip the toast into the soft yolk and yeah it's the best that way. Thanks for these wonderful videos.
So very sad with the passing of Phyllis, can’t believe she’s gone. I hope Mr. stokes keeps us updated with her house and property in the mountains. They worked so hard for that but didn’t get to enjoy it!
I love it when you say "we'll talk a little bit". I get comfy and settle in for a Phyllis story! It's so relaxing watching your videos, I prefer them to TV! It would be so lovely to spend a day with you baking and cooking in your kitchen. I bet you were the most loving, wonderful mother to your children. Lucky them!
Unfortunately I was more of the "Drill Sergeant" which is exactly what my daughter called me. The children were always on the Honor Roll at school and all three children graduated in the top of their class, got a college education and went on to very successful careers. The "Drill Sergeant" here is going to take some credit for that feat.
Phyllis....sometimes being loving means being tough and having high standards and expectations especially when you know your children are capable of achieving so much. I've watched your video about how you and Mr. Bucky met (what a nice love story) and learned about your very successful children and sadly, your daughter's passing. I am so truly sorry for your heartache. By what you shared, it was clear she was brilliant and very driven and highly motivated. You definitely get to take credit for that, Sargent Stokes! Now, I'm going to be a little tough on you for a minute, but it comes from a place of love and concern. I'm worried about you re-using plastic jugs for your sweet tea. A few years ago I had a life changing experience with early stage uterine cancer (I am fine now don't worry). I learned then that plastic has "estrogenic properties" which means plastic tricks our bodies into thinking it is estrogen. When we use plastic for cooking, drinking and food storage, the estrogenic chemicals leak into our food. This is all microscopic, we cannot see it. My gynaecologist made me promise to go home and through out ALL my plastic and to never, ever re-use plastic water bottles or juice bottles. When you re-use them, the chemical leeching is worse, especially if the contents are hot or the bottle has been heated by leaving it in the car for example. Plastic bottles are not to be re-used. I watched you make sweet tea today and totally relate to your problem finding a good glass pitcher. I am still searching. But please, please stop using that plastic juice container! I didn't say anything earlier, I didn't want to come off like a know-it-all and was contemplating sending you an email but then I saw you had responded to me. I don't want to criticize you at all, I am just concerned for your well being. We women have to be careful with estrogen, it feeds things like breast cancer and endometriosis and I don't want anything terrible to happen to you. Let's both work on finding ourselves a great glass pitcher ASAP! I hope you hear my words with the sentiment intended and are not offended. I am making your sweet tea recipe tonight! Anyway, please consider what I've shared, but know that I won't be upset if I see you continuing to use that plastic jug and I will still watch and appreciate your videos. I am just sharing what I learned and hoping it will help others. Much love and appreciation to you, your friend, Andrea.
OMG that looks so DELICIOUS 😋 I'm definitely going to try this, I always use milk but never tried evaporated milk, I also love Jasmine rice🍚 so sad she passed, she seems like a wonderful Lady & I love her voice ❣️
This reminds me of when I was back in music school and on a choir tour where we stayed with host families of the local churches where we performed. I stayed with a southern lady and her husband and she made soft scrambled eggs like Ms. Phyllis makes here. They were so creamy and delicious.
I live in Fl, growing up if we had left over grits or rice, I would ask my mom to to put it in the fridge for my breakfast the next morning. She would mix the leftover rice or grits into my scrambled egg. It gives it a another level of taste. My mom was a great cook for someone who never read a cookbook in her life.
I would cook some of my mother's meals but she was an auful cook,just a waste of food. it is so nice to see someone who has great memories of their mother, I love it.
Mrs. Stokes all of your videos cheer me up and I learn so much from them. My Grandma made eggs this way and they were always fluffy and perfectly cooked through with amazing flavor.I watch your videos everyday. I am praying everyday that your health improves and that you become cancer free. Don't worry about making more cooking videos, just take care of yourself first. I am sorry that your husband Mr. Bucky passed away. You are carry so much sadness, that I make it a point for my Son and I to pray together in the evening for you every single day. Take Care and God Bless you Phyllis! Sending prayers, love and hugs your way. Respectfully, Mrs. Mary Vu (O.F.S.) Order Franciscan Secular
My mother made scrambled eggs that looked like this, they were my favorite but I tried it and they never came out like this! Now I know what they were missing, the canned milk, my mother never told me that!! :) Good memories! My mother has Alzheimer’s and is in a nursing home, she will be 93 in June, I sure do miss her cooking!!
I agree, i dont like to give my kids cereal for breakfast either. I like to make em a hearty breakfast. I like that you tell stories about your momma while cooking. My son had to draw a picture of his momma at school and drew me standing in front of the stove cooking. I guess thats how he sees me. Thank you for your videos, i really enjoy them.
Enjoy those childhood memories,reminds me of some of mine. You and your mother both have a soft voice. Hope you don't run out of stories soon,thank you for sharing. Luv
Such a delight to watch all your videos. My 4 year old granddaughter watched with me last night. We made this morning. She was so thrilled and ate 3 of the four. She kept saying this is so fun Mimi when she cracked and scrambled. Thank you Phyliss
I really love all your stories about your momma and your life with her in the 50's. Talking about how "of course, in the 50's you ate what was presented to you." I'm a teacher and I'd be hard pressed to show you a dozen six year-olds who stand by that lifestyle, let me tell you..... Hahaha.
My mon was a short order cook so it was Alice's restaurant we got basically what he ordered for breakfast. It was nothing for her to whip up sausage, eggs & toast for me and oatmeal for my sister. Both my mother and grandmother both always kept a can of bacon grease on the back of the stove. My grandmother would dip her toast in the bacon grease that she just had cooked bacon in instead of using butter lived to be 93 almost 94 years old
I am a child of the 50s as well, and my mom kept that canister that said "Grease" on the front. She had it on the stove between the burners and kept her drippings of ham, bacon, sausage and whatever else. She added that to beans, and many other things. That is what everyone today says killed off that generation early. I don't concur because I believe all things in moderation. She made biscuits, gravy and eggs, grits, sausage or bacon for all breakfasts. My next door neighbor made biscuits 3x/day for her family and she had a huge container of Lard under her sink that she used for biscuits and I guess everything else. Mom used Crisco for her biscuits. I never learned to make biscuits like mom, tho I watched her many, many times (I am almost 65). I do make better cornbread than she did:) She used to look funny when dad would gobble up my cornbread. I think she was a bit put out. I am so glad to have been a child of the 50s and so blessed to have had God fearing parents and a Christian upbringing.
@@women65andover I can't make biscuits either! I'll be 63 in November. Will you give your recipe for cornbread? I don't make that either, but would love to try, especially with a good recipe like yours.
Phyllis, I know I am late watching this video, but I love all your cooking videos. I love the stories you share while you are cooking. Talking about trying a turned over egg at your friend's house for the first time, it is so neat what we discover in other's homes. I thought I hated vegetables when I was little, but while I was at my best friend's house they had steamed broccoli with hollandaise and seeing my friend eat it, I tried it ....and loved it!! I also had sopapillas for the first time at her house and her mom coated them with powdered sugar instead of cinnamon sugar and I thought it was heaven. On another note, I made your Bucky Burgers and my husband and I loved them.....I would have never thought to put a burger on a kaiser roll but it was perfect and now that is the only way I want them. Thanks for sharing!! ~ Caren
I grew up with chickens and we ate fried or turned over eggs every day for breakfast except on weekends when my sister and I made a huge mess fixing pancakes LOL I haven’t wanted to eat eggs for many years!! You Sweetie just made me starving for a plate of your perfectly cooked scrambled eggs and my grocery list just had evaporated mild added to it!! Thank you so much for the recipe and for bringing up my memories of our watch Rooster Francis who was meaner than a snake and kept everyone at bay. He even pooped our bicycle tires when my brother would use the bike to put it between himself and Francis to get out of the yard. Yes I said he kept everyone at bay! That included us 8 kids!! Wow we had such a great childhood!!
I am going to try the scrambled eggs with dill I put it in a lot of soups and casseroles. Thank you so much for doing that. Your mom would be so proud of you. You are doing a great job,
I miss you my friend I never met in person but was blessed to have come into my life while searching for an authentic recipe...I found not only the most authentic recipes but the most honest authentically enchanting sweetest southern belle a lady a friend an instructor a cheerleader a fellow baker a kindred spirit with a use it up wear it out make it do or do without outlook on life, a like mindedness for the never ending hunger to learn to know to research to take on new ventures to dare to step out into the unknown and to never be satisfied with just okay..and never speaking badly about anyone and never forgetting to be a gracious well spoken soft spoken woman God first then family and sadly always putting her own needs last... but even in the last months during chemo and having terrible reactions from it all sweetest fine lady that she was and always will be, she still made a video apologizing even after mr bucky died she still apologized to us all for taking some time to recover from all the things that need to be done when your spouse dies and not one of us was thinking any selfish thoughts only about how she was physically mentally and emotionally getting through it all...we saw so many videos and she was alone so much we heard about visitors and those were scarce and she was alone most of the time...we only chalked it up to her grown children living in another country or possibly working on a ship or in the military or traveling as part of the job. It was the last few years Ms. Phyllie looked so sad. She lost her zip..She still cooked and cleaned and took care of mr bucky. I know she loved her dogs and they never did take that trip they planned due to that storm...i remember the video...and here Ms Phyllis had cooked and had prepared all those meals, and here is this when the stovetop caught fire or went out completely then it rained? Ill look that up..we all enjoyed her video posts...it was always like getting a letter from home and from someone who felt familiar comfortable welcomed and seeing a new posted video felt like Christmas because you just knew Ms Phyllis had not only a recipe or two and a plate full of food or a beautiful tasty dessert she was going to teach us how to prepare...and she would manage to have her humor and funny quick witted remarks tucked in here and there to garnish the story and a sprinkling of her charm over everything always...im so blessed to have been on of the lucky ones who shared comments recipes encouragement love and a sisterly protectiveness regard and respect for her many accomplishments. We could go on and on...but I am so happy I had the honor and pleasure of knowing and admiring Mrs Phyllis Stokes..a God loving woman a sweet soft spoken kind lady who always reflected grace beauty and charm. She taught me how to NOT complain...i never once heard her complain..she may have mentioned a problem but quite briefly and only as to finding or having found a solution. Oh here i go again..when one wants to leave a word about the fine character and integrity of Mrs Phyllis well, there just isnt a pause to search for words there is not enough space on this or any other format...the list of her attributes and the joy she has so freely given to others..endless ..save a place for me at your table Ms Phyllie and when its my time to go please have a slice of your lemon meringue pie and a big ole glass of your sweet tea waiting for me..u r here in my heart always
Mrs Phyllis, Thank you for these wonderful recipes. I wasn't born in the 50s but I enjoying the food you prepare for Mr. Bucky. Peace and love from Texas.
Phyllis, I just started watching your channel within the last week. I absolutely love some of your recipes. Since I got hurt at work and inherited my "Disability", cooking has been my new hobby. Thank you so much for sharing these great recipes!!
I really miss watching all her videos. Used to look forward to new vids. I hope they are both on the other side having a blast. Such an amazing couple they was
I've been wanting to find a way to cut back on portions but not on flavor and your 1950s dinners have inspired me to change my menus. This month I'm going to make a retro menu, cut back on serving sizes and see how that goes. 😀
I wholeheartedly agree with the previous comment, and I love your voice too because it is calm and earnest. I have a stressful day, and I love escaping into your ordered, hard-working, but calm life style. Your kids are so blessed. And I had NO idea that eggs taste better by cooking them at a lower heat!!! Thank you for all the tips you give. And also, I like the way you arrange your plates with the little cups on them! I wish I would have found you when I was younger and had family about. I would have cooked more for them. Thank you, Phyllis.
Phyllis, Thank you so much for your videos. Such good, down to earth meals and really enjoy your narrative. I really appreciate you taking time to post these and watching your videos is like going home again.
Ditto ... i.miss listening to her talk about all sort of subjects. My favorite time with her was her dinner time meal. I know they're in heaven but i still miss them being part of my online family...
Just FYI, I went to google and found this: "The white stuff is CHALAZA. Ropey strands of egg white that anchor the yolk in place in the center of the thick white. They are neither imperfections nor beginning embryos. The more prominent the chalazae, the fresher the egg." So now we know! lol
I had a question for her but reading the other comments I suppose I won't get a reply.That is really sad. I just started watching her but I'm glad she has posted what she has. Does anyone else have trouble getting that white off of the egg yolk. It's like I need a fork with closer tines but hers look like mine.
Hello Ms. Phyllis, your Momma must have been a very robust woman to be doing all she did for your family. Hopefully our Lord gave your Momma and Daddy a good long life on this Earth. I never thought to eat rice with eggs but I am certainly going to try it now. It looks so good here. Thanks for sharing Cindy
Yes I agree l'm now 70 my mother always added evaporated milk to her eggs. Only time she didn't when she ran out. Love and miss her, so glad you are doing her video ❤️ her.
I don't know if you have yet or not because I am still watching all your videos....but you should do a video with pictures and memories of you mom, since all of your recipes are inspired by her. anyways I love all you do and look forward to seeing a video about you mom.
when we had rice for breakfast my momma would put evaporated milk into the rice. If you've never tried it, give it a go. It's delicious. my favorite breakfast I can remember was livermush (yes, I'm from Cleveland County, NC), creamed rice and scrambled eggs.
I remove the white stuff from the egg yolk. I use evaporated milk in lot's of things I cook. Those look so good. Your son just showed us how to make dill eggs, going to try both recipes. That was nice, he reminds us of you :) I'm so glad we can watch you still, and I love that your son is adding more recipes for us all:) I hope someday he will publish your cook book along with a sleeve including your video's and a perhaps build upcoming series on his recipes.
I've never had rice with eggs. I've always had potatoes with eggs. Fried or mashed. I'm looking forward to trying this. Again, thank you for sharing with us. Especially us younger folks who are trying to learn!
Phyllis, thinking of you and Mr. Bucky during this hurricane threatening off of the coast...hope that it doesn't reach you two...take care and be safe, God bless and watch over you... Barbara...
I keep evaporated milk for those times when we run low, or are out of fresh. Its come in handy twice recently. Its a great standby. I use it in mashed potato, oatmeal, eggs, gravy, meatloaf, I use it in anything when I need to and don't have fresh. I never realized that about the color in eggs tho. You keep teaching me and I will be your sponge. I sure hope my commenting on this marathon I'm doing is not bothering you. I just yap on like we are chatting and I actually know you. Hahaha I hope you laugh and can relax and rest. God Bless you. This is video 69 of 200. To your care givers. You are the tops. The absolute tops. Thanks.
Scrambled eggs with milk are **divine**-the only way to eat them imo. I found that half and half or a dash of cream is equally lovely. Nothing compares to the flavor and texture this gives-heavenly!! I had never heard of the evaporated milk version, so I am eager to try that. :)
I watch these old videos and can't believe Phyllis and Bucky are both gone Steely and Sunny adopted by friends. The end of an era. So glad Steve is keeping the channel alive, though, thankful for that!!
I agree! I'm glad her son is keeping this going. I just found her 6 months ago! I love watching her videos. Her voice is very calming and she has a way of explaining that is easy to understand. Rest in Peace sweet lady.
He is so much like her
Missing both Phyllis & Mr. Bucky. 😥💖
Gosh, I miss you, Phyllis. Such a wonderful cook.
What a delicious, simple dinner, Mr. Bucky is a lucky man! I would love to see more 1950's recipes, things seemed so much simpler then, and it's enjoyable to learn all your wisdom.
Everything was full fat and plenty of butter. Lol
You have a very soothing voice. I get sleepy while listening. It's calming. (Not Boring!!) Thank you for sharing all your wonderful videos!
i love her voice too. Phylis, do you sing?
The Antique Autistic That would be awesome if you sang for us!
Yes!!! I love her voice, it's so relaxing. I loveee her videos also and am looking forward to trying some of the recipes.
She does have a smooth voice. I like her accent, too.
Sharon Hunter omg me too, its called ASMR

I do enjoyed this video. You have the sweetest southern voice! Thank you for sharing your mother's recipes. She was like my mother; she poured her love into her meals for her family! 💜

So sad she has passed,we will miss her terrible.
I cant believe it ☹ so sad.
My sister and I loved Miss Phyllis and Mr. Bucky. 💗💗💗
Thank you phyllis ♥

Thanks a lot Phyllis. I'm a 70 year old geezer who never learned that cooking eggs "low and slow" makes them taste delicious. 😊

OMG that looks so DELICIOUS 😋 I'm definitely going to try this, I always use milk but never tried evaporated milk, I also love Jasmine rice🍚 so sad she passed, she seems like a wonderful Lady & I love her voice ❣️
She never had “turned over eggs” before. And Mr. Buckey likes “selsa” . Such cute Phyllisisms.
This reminds me of when I was back in music school and on a choir tour where we stayed with host families of the local churches where we performed. I stayed with a southern lady and her husband and she made soft scrambled eggs like Ms. Phyllis makes here. They were so creamy and delicious.
I live in Fl, growing up if we had left over grits or rice, I would ask my mom to to put it in the fridge for my breakfast the next morning.

I'm loving these 1950s meals. You got me binge watching through your channel lol
Rest In Peace Ms. Phyllis and Mr. Bucky. You are missed.
I would cook some of my mother's meals but she was an auful cook,just a waste of food. it is so nice to see someone who has great memories of their mother, I love it.
Phyllis is so missed! So glad for RUclips videos!
I really miss you so much! Glad I can still watch these videos learning new things to make for my husband!
The good ol days yes
My mom made us breakfast everyday but mother's day we made it for her I miss them days and my momma rip momma
I continue to watch and glad Steve continue to put her videos on. She was one heck of a lady, I miss her so much a heart of gold.
Mrs. Stokes all of your videos cheer me up and I learn so much from them. My Grandma made eggs this way and they were always fluffy and perfectly cooked through with amazing flavor.I watch your videos everyday. I am praying everyday that your health improves and that you become cancer free. Don't worry about making more cooking videos, just take care of yourself first. I am sorry that your husband Mr. Bucky passed away. You are carry so much sadness, that I make it a point for my Son and I to pray together in the evening for you every single day. Take Care and God Bless you Phyllis! Sending prayers, love and hugs your way. Respectfully, Mrs. Mary Vu (O.F.S.) Order Franciscan Secular
My mother made scrambled eggs that looked like this, they were my favorite but I tried it and they never came out like this! Now I know what they were missing, the canned milk, my mother never told me that!! :) Good memories! My mother has Alzheimer’s and is in a nursing home, she will be 93 in June, I sure do miss her cooking!!
My grandmother made me take the white part off the egg too! Wow, I feel all the comfort of home watching these videos!
I agree, i dont like to give my kids cereal for breakfast either. I like to make em a hearty breakfast. I like that you tell stories about your momma while cooking. My son had to draw a picture of his momma at school and drew me standing in front of the stove cooking. I guess thats how he sees me. Thank you for your videos, i really enjoy them.
I love when you make yours and mr. buckey's plates. There is something so comforting about that.
Enjoy those childhood memories,reminds me of some of mine. You and your mother both have a soft voice. Hope you don't run out of stories soon,thank you for sharing. Luv
Just FYI, Phyllis and Bucky are both gone now. He died in July 2019 and she died last month, January 2020. Miss them.
Such a delight to watch all your videos. My 4 year old granddaughter watched with me last night. We made this morning. She was so thrilled and ate 3 of the four. She kept saying this is so fun Mimi when she cracked and scrambled. Thank you Phyliss
I really love all your stories about your momma and your life with her in the 50's. Talking about how "of course, in the 50's you ate what was presented to you." I'm a teacher and I'd be hard pressed to show you a dozen six year-olds who stand by that lifestyle, let me tell you..... Hahaha.
My mon was a short order cook so it was Alice's restaurant we got basically what he ordered for breakfast. It was nothing for her to whip up sausage, eggs & toast for me and oatmeal for my sister. Both my mother and grandmother both always kept a can of bacon grease on the back of the stove. My grandmother would dip her toast in the bacon grease that she just had cooked bacon in instead of using butter lived to be 93 almost 94 years old
Bacon grease is prob a good fat - not fake and u only needed a little bit.

I am a child of the 50s as well, and my mom kept that canister that said "Grease" on the front. She had it on the stove between the burners and kept her drippings of ham, bacon, sausage and whatever else. She added that to beans, and many other things. That is what everyone today says killed off that generation early. I don't concur because I believe all things in moderation. She made biscuits, gravy and eggs, grits, sausage or bacon for all breakfasts. My next door neighbor made biscuits 3x/day for her family and she had a huge container of Lard under her sink that she used for biscuits and I guess everything else. Mom used Crisco for her biscuits.
I never learned to make biscuits like mom, tho I watched her many, many times (I am almost 65). I do make better cornbread than she did:) She used to look funny when dad would gobble up my cornbread. I think she was a bit put out.
I am so glad to have been a child of the 50s and so blessed to have had God fearing parents and a Christian upbringing.
My 'newage' children can't believe I have a bowl of bacon grease in the icebox. I grew up thinking it was a condiment!
@@women65andover I can't make biscuits either! I'll be 63 in November. Will you give your recipe for cornbread? I don't make that either, but would love to try, especially with a good recipe like yours.
Phyllis, I know I am late watching this video, but I love all your cooking videos. I love the stories you share while you are cooking. Talking about trying a turned over egg at your friend's house for the first time, it is so neat what we discover in other's homes. I thought I hated vegetables when I was little, but while I was at my best friend's house they had steamed broccoli with hollandaise and seeing my friend eat it, I tried it ....and loved it!! I also had sopapillas for the first time at her house and her mom coated them with powdered sugar instead of cinnamon sugar and I thought it was heaven. On another note, I made your Bucky Burgers and my husband and I loved them.....I would have never thought to put a burger on a kaiser roll but it was perfect and now that is the only way I want them. Thanks for sharing!! ~ Caren
I grew up with chickens and we ate fried or turned over eggs every day for breakfast except on weekends when my sister and I made a huge mess fixing pancakes LOL I haven’t wanted to eat eggs for many years!! You Sweetie just made me starving for a plate of your perfectly cooked scrambled eggs and my grocery list just had evaporated mild added to it!! Thank you so much for the recipe and for bringing up my memories of our watch Rooster Francis who was meaner than a snake and kept everyone at bay. He even pooped our bicycle tires when my brother would use the bike to put it between himself and Francis to get out of the yard. Yes I said he kept everyone at bay! That included us 8 kids!! Wow we had such a great childhood!!
I am going to try the scrambled eggs with dill
I put it in a lot of soups and casseroles. Thank you so much for doing that. Your mom would be so proud of you. You are doing a great job,
Dear sweet Phyllis. I miss you. I will continue to enjoy and learn from you through your videos for years to come. 💗🌸
Only just started watching This channel, rip beautiful lady, your videos help me sleep😍
I miss you my friend I never met in person but was blessed to have come into my life while searching for an authentic recipe...I found not only the most authentic recipes but the most honest authentically enchanting sweetest southern belle a lady a friend an instructor a cheerleader a fellow baker a kindred spirit with a use it up wear it out make it do or do without outlook on life, a like mindedness for the never ending hunger to learn to know to research to take on new ventures to dare to step out into the unknown and to never be satisfied with just okay..and never speaking badly about anyone and never forgetting to be a gracious well spoken soft spoken woman God first then family and sadly always putting her own needs last... but even in the last months during chemo and having terrible reactions from it all sweetest fine lady that she was and always will be, she still made a video apologizing even after mr bucky died she still apologized to us all for taking some time to recover from all the things that need to be done when your spouse dies and not one of us was thinking any selfish thoughts only about how she was physically mentally and emotionally getting through it all...we saw so many videos and she was alone so much we heard about visitors and those were scarce and she was alone most of the time...we only chalked it up to her grown children living in another country or possibly working on a ship or in the military or traveling as part of the job. It was the last few years Ms. Phyllie looked so sad. She lost her zip..She still cooked and cleaned and took care of mr bucky. I know she loved her dogs and they never did take that trip they planned due to that storm...i remember the video...and here Ms Phyllis had cooked and had prepared all those meals, and here is this when the stovetop caught fire or went out completely then it rained? Ill look that up..we all enjoyed her video posts...it was always like getting a letter from home and from someone who felt familiar comfortable welcomed and seeing a new posted video felt like Christmas because you just knew Ms Phyllis had not only a recipe or two and a plate full of food or a beautiful tasty dessert she was going to teach us how to prepare...and she would manage to have her humor and funny quick witted remarks tucked in here and there to garnish the story and a sprinkling of her charm over everything always...im so blessed to have been on of the lucky ones who shared comments recipes encouragement love and a sisterly protectiveness regard and respect for her many accomplishments. We could go on and on...but I am so happy I had the honor and pleasure of knowing and admiring Mrs Phyllis Stokes..a God loving woman a sweet soft spoken kind lady who always reflected grace beauty and charm. She taught me how to NOT complain...i never once heard her complain..she may have mentioned a problem but quite briefly and only as to finding or having found a solution. Oh here i go again..when one wants to leave a word about the fine character and integrity of Mrs Phyllis well, there just isnt a pause to search for words there is not enough space on this or any other format...the list of her attributes and the joy she has so freely given to others..endless ..save a place for me at your table Ms Phyllie and when its my time to go please have a slice of your lemon meringue pie and a big ole glass of your sweet tea waiting for me..u r here in my heart always
Tamara that was so beautifully said. Miss her so much. Thank you for sharing your thoughts of her and letting us walk along with you.
Boy, you take me back to my childhood when I visited my Grandmother. And all the other nice ladies that were kind to me.
Just watched Ms. Phyllis 's son make scrambled eggs too! Great family.
Mrs Phyllis, Thank you for these wonderful recipes. I wasn't born in the 50s but I enjoying the food you prepare for Mr. Bucky. Peace and love from Texas.
Phyllis, I just started watching your channel within the last week. I absolutely love some of your recipes. Since I got hurt at work and inherited my "Disability", cooking has been my new hobby. Thank you so much for sharing these great recipes!!
I really miss watching all her videos. Used to look forward to new vids. I hope they are both on the other side having a blast. Such an amazing couple they was
I've been wanting to find a way to cut back on portions but not on flavor and your 1950s dinners have inspired me to change my menus. This month I'm going to make a retro menu, cut back on serving sizes and see how that goes. 😀
I wholeheartedly agree with the previous comment, and I love your voice too because it is calm and earnest. I have a stressful day, and I love escaping into your ordered, hard-working, but calm life style. Your kids are so blessed. And I had NO idea that eggs taste better by cooking them at a lower heat!!! Thank you for all the tips you give. And also, I like the way you arrange your plates with the little cups on them! I wish I would have found you when I was younger and had family about. I would have cooked more for them. Thank you, Phyllis.
i learned about taking out the part between the eggs just today .im 64 and ill remember that.good cook.
Phyllis, Thank you so much for your videos. Such good, down to earth meals and really enjoy your narrative. I really appreciate you taking time to post these and watching your videos is like going home again.
Ditto ... i.miss listening to her talk about all sort of subjects. My favorite time with her was her dinner time meal. I know they're in heaven but i still miss them being part of my online family...
I’ve removed the “umbilical cords”, on eggs since I refused to eat them as a kid. I never heard of anyone doing it but me, till now!! You’re great!!
Same here! I can't stand the thought of eating them
Just FYI, I went to google and found this: "The white stuff is CHALAZA. Ropey strands of egg white that anchor the yolk in place in the center of the thick white. They are neither imperfections nor beginning embryos. The more prominent the chalazae, the fresher the egg." So now we know! lol
I had a question for her but reading the other comments I suppose I won't get a reply.That is really sad. I just started watching her but I'm glad she has posted what she has. Does anyone else have trouble getting that white off of the egg yolk. It's like I need a fork with closer tines but hers look like mine.
God rest your soul lady you are a treasure, and heaven has you now😇👼🌹❤🥀
Hello Ms. Phyllis, your Momma must have been a very robust woman to be doing all she did for your family. Hopefully our Lord gave your Momma and Daddy a good long life on this Earth.
I never thought to eat rice with eggs but I am certainly going to try it now. It looks so good here.
Thanks for sharing
Cindy
A lot of childhood memories. Makes you miss your mum!
Such a calming voice. A very sweet person.
I miss her too...I still watch all her videos!
Phyllis I NEVER knew cracking the eggs inside the bowl helped keep the shells out!!!
I have been watching your videos all night! Your vintage recipes are just like my grandmas!
Yes I agree l'm now 70 my mother always added evaporated milk to her eggs. Only time she didn't when she ran out. Love and miss her, so glad you are doing her video ❤️ her.
Anything like MOM. My mom was the best. And I bet yours is too !!! ♥️♥️♥️
I don't know if you have yet or not because I am still watching all your videos....but you should do a video with pictures and memories of you mom, since all of your recipes are inspired by her. anyways I love all you do and look forward to seeing a video about you mom.
when we had rice for breakfast my momma would put evaporated milk into the rice. If you've never tried it, give it a go. It's delicious. my favorite breakfast I can remember was livermush (yes, I'm from Cleveland County, NC), creamed rice and scrambled eggs.
I just love you and your videos, thank you so much for taking the time to film. The stories you share are a real bonus. Hope you guys have a nice day.
Everything is plated so nicely and always with sweet tea.
Miss your videos 💓💔
You remind me so much of my mom , she made perfect fluffy scrambled eggs too
I remove the white stuff from the egg yolk. I use evaporated milk in lot's of things I cook. Those look so good. Your son just showed us how to make dill eggs, going to try both recipes. That was nice, he reminds us of you :) I'm so glad we can watch you still, and I love that your son is adding more recipes for us all:) I hope someday he will publish your cook book along with a sleeve including your video's and a perhaps build upcoming series on his recipes.
I've never had rice with eggs. I've always had potatoes with eggs. Fried or mashed. I'm looking forward to trying this. Again, thank you for sharing with us. Especially us younger folks who are trying to learn!
These are actually great cooking lessons. Kudos to you, Phyllis.
So sad I learned a lot from her cooking show , bless her family !
Phyllis, thinking of you and Mr. Bucky during this hurricane threatening off of the coast...hope that it doesn't reach you two...take care and be safe, God bless and watch over you... Barbara...
Your videos always make me hungry.
Me too
What kind of pan is that with the white bottom? I'm digging it.
I keep evaporated milk for those times when we run low, or are out of fresh. Its come in handy twice recently. Its a great standby. I use it in mashed potato, oatmeal, eggs, gravy, meatloaf, I use it in anything when I need to and don't have fresh. I never realized that about the color in eggs tho. You keep teaching me and I will be your sponge. I sure hope my commenting on this marathon I'm doing is not bothering you. I just yap on like we are chatting and I actually know you. Hahaha I hope you laugh and can relax and rest. God Bless you. This is video 69 of 200. To your care givers. You are the tops. The absolute tops. Thanks.
Scrambled eggs with milk are **divine**-the only way to eat them imo. I found that half and half or a dash of cream is equally lovely. Nothing compares to the flavor and texture this gives-heavenly!!
I had never heard of the evaporated milk version, so I am eager to try that. :)
I miss you Ms Phyllis!!!
Such a simple meal but you made it elegant! Going to try this. Thanks.
