I really miss Phyllis I have watched all her videos and have made many of her recipes. I use all her custard pie recipes my husband's favorite is her Butterscotch pie. She sure was a great cook & teacher l loved how pleasant her voice was while talking through her cooking videos and telling her stories and Mr. Bucky was an awesome man I loved listening to his stories also. I was so surprised when he passed away it's a shame they never got to enjoy their little camping spot more than they did, they both put so much thought into that little piece of land and the remodeling of the camper for them and their dogs. There are not many people around like them, there's just something different about the people that grew up and lived through the late 40s and 70’s they are unique people in their own way, and the way they planned to be put into the ground they put so much thought into everything they did or would purchase. RIP
RIP my lovely! It's not fair, Phyllis was still so full of life and energy. At least we've all had the opportunity to get to know her on TH-cam I guess. Lots of love from a very long time fan from the UK
Your mother unknowingly helped me through some of the worst times in my life. My ex husband was not a kind person - after the divorce I was a single mom trying to make it on my own. Stressed and scared. I came across her channel trying to find a recipe one day. Her videos calmed my anxiety, such a special lady ❤️ I can imagine she will continue to touch the lives of many who come across her channel.
I'm so sorry for y'alls loss..Prayers being said and sent for healing for all the family..You're Mother was an awesome and amazing Lady!..She was a Godsend to all who Graced her channel..She will be sorely missed terribly.. Thank you for letting us all know the sad news of her passing..God's blessings to you all in this time of need..Amen 🙏🛐❤🌹
This is such a nice, sweet message, especially considering the news I just received via her son's thoughtful announcement to her TH-cam subscribers. Ms. Phyllis, Mr. Bucky and the awesome stories will be sorely missed. God bless you.
In the late 1970's I saved for months to buy an Amana Radar Range microwave. I took a class on how to use it at the store where I purchased it. I made peanut brittle first. Then filling for raisen cream pie because it was a favorite of my mom's. I remember it had a probe for meats and they didn't have turntables in those days. And like others said - it was huge. I I had a good laugh over your egg story 😊 We've all had misadventures like that. I gummed up my grandmother's Presto pressure cooker with pearl tapioca. What a mess and it looked like fish eyes. Took me forever to get that pot clean. Bless my mom and grandma for letting me do my own cooking thing though. Great memories.
When I was little, I watched my parents use the microwave and thought, "well, that's easy. I can do that." So I figured I would fix myself a hotdog unsupervised. I don't remember exactly how long I cooked it for but afterwards I reached in, got it out, put it in a bun and took a big bite of it and it was just like biting into a tree stump.
I told my mom about your cooking! Ever since my grandmother passed we both knew that the days of home cooking lessons would be few and far between! But when I stumbled onto one of your videos (and then several hours later) I realized I hadn't had my last cooking lesson after all! And what's even better, you don't make me go fetch something so I miss half the "secret" ingredients!
In the winter of '84-'85 I still had 3 children at home. I worked at a well known department store that never allowed their employees to work more than 30 hours per week. At minimum wage it was a real struggle to get by. After Christmas, the store had a huge sale, 50% off of everything storewide. At mid-afternoon they announced an additional 25% off of everything for 1 hour. I worked in the children's dept. so I asked a friend who was on break to cover my station while i went upstairs to housewares. I bought the only amana microwave in the store! It was regularly priced at $499, and with the 75% off, my 20% employee discount, and some additional credits I had saved I paid less than $50. The next day I went to a pawn shop and sold it outright for $200. My children and I were very happy that day!
I could listen to your stories all night long. Thanks for sharing the recipe. I truly have never had any pudding that hasn't come from a box. I will try this. ❤
Our first microwave was an Amana Radarange Touchmatic, probably around 1978 or 1980. I was just a little kid and remember thinking it was so fancy. My mother took a microwave cooking class given at the high school in the evenings, one of those adult education kind of things, and I had to go along sometimes. I thought it was so fun! That microwave worked through the 90s, and I think was only replaced because they wanted something smaller.
Love your stories as much as your cooking - which is great! I brought my microwave home from Okinawa after an assignment there in 1971. No cookbook and the only demo was cooking cake mix in a cup (but it had to be chocolate because vanilla looked terrible). I sold it after coming home and bought another one 5 years later and haven't looked back. Use it everyday.
Oh how I love you and your videos!!! Phyllis, you make my day!! 😊😂 We bought our first microwave around 1989, it was a Christmas gift for our mom and dad. My mom was SO afraid to use it. After about Two days of having it , we finally talked her into trying it. we will never forget watching her put the food in the microwave, shut the door , put the time in , put her finger on the start button , push it really fast and run away! She completely CLEARED the kitchen she was so scared!! 😂 lol too funny!! Have a great weekend! Love to Mr Bucky!! :)
Good afternoon Miss Phyllis and Mr Bucky!! Great video!!! The pudding looks scrumptious!!! I remember home economics introducing the new microwave technology for the modern kitchen !!! It was so HUGE!!! And the price was OUT OF REACH for most folks at the time...my how times have changed...THANKS FOR THE GREAT VIDEO😀💕💕💕
My mother made divinity every year for Xmas, I love love love divinity, I have tried many many times to make it on the stove and I failed every time, I came across a recipe by Richard Deacon in his microwave recipe book and decided to try it, it came out perfect so I now make it at least twice a year and it has never failed me yet, my thanks to Richard Deacon and my microwave, there isn't anything that I don't cook in it, I will now be making this pudding as butterscotch is my most favorite, thanks Phyllis I have made many of your recipes and they are fabulous, I miss my mothers cooking but you have brought a lot of it back in my life, thank you so much.
Used to know a lady that had a wonderful talent for making peanut brittle in the micro. I have heard that it takes some practice. It really was delicious, and she made tons of it for Christmas.
I was just sitting here wishing I had some pudding and this popped up in my notifications! I just love your videos and your website. 😊 off to make pudding right this min!😍 I remember the first microwave my folks got in the 80s, I swear it was like a steamer trunk it was so huge..😄 my favorite thing to make was baked potatoes, it was so much fun to have a tater ready in about 5 min. We thought that was pretty slick. 🤣 ****update...the pudding is made and now I'm twiddling my thumbs waiting for it to cool...but the taste on the spoon I licked was delicious****😊
We got a microwave in 1981 or 1982 when I was 10 yrs old. One afternoon shortly after we got it, I tried to heat up some peach cobbler. There was the tiniest sliver of aluminum foil stuck to the pyrex dish and it caught on fire. Scared me from using that thing alone for years. Thank you Phyllis - I love these simple recipes, the stories the lessons and the "for those who work series"!!
My parents got one when they first came out. I thought it was the coolest thing ever! I've had several since being an adult. Mine never blew up, but they did stop heating as well! Glad they're cheaper now days.
My Mother and I sure do miss the Snackin' Cake mix that used to be on the grocer shelves many years ago. Fast and so good, and just right for a small amount of people. Came with it's own little pan and frosting!
I remember years ago my Mom got a huge new microwave and at Thanksgiving that year she had all of us kids over from out of state. All our kids were all babies then...lol Anyhow she for whatever reason cooked the turkey in that microwave 😳 Well half of it was like a petrified wood. She was really upset.....lol But we still got some of the other half it. And it was really dry.But all the rest of the dinner was good. She never did that again.
Ms Phyllis in 1998 our Youngest Daughter caught 3 different NEW microwaves on fire on the inside in a 2 week period. She was around 12. First fire microwave popcorn. She thought it needed 10 minutes to cook. Second Microwave she put a fast food hamburger that was wrapped in foil. She cook that for 4 minutes. 3rd microwave was hot chocolate in a foam cup with colored pattern on the cup. 3 minutes & that cup was flaming.. She ruint all 3. GOD love her She still burns food up sometimes.. Yes in the microwave, on top of the stove or yes in my oven.. She is single & 31.. MORAL OF MY STORY I keep 2 fire extinguishers in my kitchen...WE PRAY WHEN SHE COOKS..
I love the skin on chocolate pudding. My siblings didn't, so they gave it to me...score!! That sheet tray is a fantastic idea!!💖 I pray things are going well for you and your family.
My husband was one of the engineers that helped design the microwaves. He was picked to be the one that tested it at home(this was before they were put on the market). We had a very small kitchen and that microwave was gigantic (you could cook a whole turkey in it)! We would cook different things and then had to continuously fill out reports. I think we did that for a year and then he had to return it. As soon as they were available to the public, we purchased one. They are so convenient!
Then I am sure you are familiar with the book the Zapping of America. A expose on the governments cover up of the microwave industry. Shame that book is impossible to find now.
Hi Phyllis, love your story! I have fond memories of getting our first microwave. My Dad would let my Grandma cook in it when she was alone, but not on the stove. He knew the microwave would not catch on fire. She was so proud that she could learn to use it in her 80"s. Thanks for bringing back those fond memories for me!
Phillis.. I really can't eat the foods you prepare.. I'm 54 now.. I lost my mom at the age of 19.. you comfort me with your calmness.. letting me know. Everything is going to be ok.. thank you... God Bless you and Mr Bucky.. I wish you many, many more Blessed years.
Miss Phyllis, how did you know butterscotch is my favorite pudding? I prefer to eat all my puddings warm. I thank you kindly for this pudding recipe. I so love watching your videos. Have a Happy Valentine's Day to you both.
My first job was at Sanders Confectionary In Detroit early 70’s I was a lunch counter girl. I was young, still in school. I never saw a microwave and they had one. They taught me how to make scrambled eggs in it. A coffee cup, crack two eggs in it, add one pat of butter and add a little half and half coffee creamer. Beat it with a fork put the coffee cup saucer on top of it, cook it for two minutes. Put it on a plate with one piece of buttered toast sliced in half and a slice of tomato. It was 75 cents. Went home and told my parents about it like I saw a spaceship, I was amazed . Bought my first microwave for myself early 80’s. Caught it on fire cooking a baked potato, that’s another story. Lol....😀
I loved Sanders in Detroit. We used to go all the time in the 1970's. Even before that my brother and I when we were kids used to take the bus across the border to Detroit to pick up a Sanders cake for my Mom.
@@phillipsmom6252 yes Windsor. Still go over to buy a Sanders Bumpy cake once in a while and just bought a big bag of Sanders chocolate covered Gummy Bears. Some stores over here carry the hot fudge. I remember sitting at Hudsons and eating a Sanders Hot fudge covered ice cream puff. haha those were the days
Came across your page months ago, looking for a buttermilk pie recipe. I have watched and made many of your recipes and my family has loved them all. I wish you had a recipe book. My family and I love your videos, stories and recipes. Much love from my family here in San Francisco to yours
My mother got hers @ 1970 and I got so used to it, when I married in 1972 and moved away, I missed it terribly. I got mine in 1980 and still have the original cookbook and use it (the cookbook) to this day. It was 700 watts, so the time and/or power has to be adjusted, but the recipes are still good.
Yummy! Love butterscotch pudding. Yes I remember the first microwave we had in 1980 or 1981. My dad told my mom he was going to be a little late coming home one night and when he came home he had a microwave. At first microwave and it was huge. My mom wasn't thrilled and said she was going to throw it out the window. A lady at church told my mom just use it for a week and if you don't like it you can get rid of it. But I bet you will say how did I ever live without the microwave. My mom loved it within a week. Then on Thanksgiving she cooked part of a meal in the microwave. Not the turkey but the rest of the meal. My mom made a cake in a microwave and my uncle said it was not done. All because it wasn't Brown on top. But it was done. My Mom and Dad loved doing baked potatoes in the microwave. My dad's mom would never have a microwave she was against them.
Ms. Phyllis, you reminded me of my first microwave experience when I was about 12 years old, so it would have been about 1987/88. My parents bought our first microwave and I remember it being so huge that it took up the entire space on top of the dishwasher. Our dishwasher was on wheels and we had to push it to the sink when we ran it, then push it back to the wall when it was finished. With the microwave on top, it became quite heavy! The first evening we had it, my Mom and I looked through the recipe book that came with it. Our microwave also came with a few microwave safe dishes made from some sort of plastic. There was a "bacon cooker" contraption that was a round, plastic plate with ridges to collect the grease. I also remember a muffin pan made of plastic that held 6 muffins. We went through the cupboards and saw we had the ingredients for "pineapple muffins". We got to work and when they were done in a matter of minutes we were so excited! Perhaps if we ate them piping hot they would have been okay, but we had to let them cool off. Well, in the cooling off process they solidified and became a rubbery, hockey puck consistency. Kidding around, I said "i bet this would bounce" and dropped it on the kitchen floor. It bounced a good 4 or 5 times, right out of the kitchen! We could not eat them, they were terrible!
my very first microwave I made popcorn in a brown paper bag. Second thing was a fried egg. It was great! We have one, I like food cooked on the stove much better, BUT it is a handy thing to have.
I worked in a factory early in my marriage and we had a microwave in our lounge. We used it to warm our meals or items we bought in vending machines. Most of the time we would pop popcorn in it. When microwaves came out they gave cookbooks with recipes to cook different types of meals. I found we didn't enjoy some meals cooked in the microwave but I did cook rice and meatloaf to save time. We also used it a lot for popcorn. We thought it was amazing popping popcorn. Lol
I made Ellie May corn muffins in my first microwave. I'll never forget my brother dropping by and was so excited I had made corn muffins. He loved them with butter. So he got one put some butter on. And went to take a huge bite and had the most funniest expression on his face. Then he said, these are the most delicious corn muffins I've ever had. 😱😂😂 Wow.
I bought some silicone mitts for my Instant Pot so it would be easier to lift out the inner pot and other pots when I cook something PIP. I’ve found them great to get hot bowls out of the microwave. Sometimes I would end up getting my cloth pot holders into the food if the bowl was full. If you get the silicone ones in the food, you can just rinse them off and save having to launder cloth ones. I got the official ones. They’re red and have a place for your thumb on one side and fingers on the other. They are easy to don and doff, too. You can’t use them for heavy, hot things in the conventional oven, tho’. The heat will come through fairly quickly, but they’re great for the microwave. I make pudding in the microwave without eggs. You can go longer without whisking, and it’s lower in cholesterol, fat, and calories. Works with skim milk, too. Takes about 6 minutes vs 15 or so on the stovetop in a saucepan.
Phyllis! I have been watching all your videos and I think I am all caught up and I come look everyday to see if you’ve made a new one! I am from southeast Kansas and really enjoy your soothing voice as you teach me so many things I remember mom and my grandma making! Tonight I watched you make the microwave butterscotch pudding. Wow! I have never heard of making pudding in the microwave but copied your recipe and am going to try it soon! I also saw your video about ordering from Walmart and them bringing it right out to my car. I am going to try that soon, too!! Ok... I am chatting you up too much, but I wanted to tell you the first time my parents got a microwave I was a senior in high school. It was such a big deal when we got it! We were so impressed! Mom never really cooked in it but we used it for heating things up. I remember dad warning us to never put anything metal in the microwave. He said it was very dangerous, but didn’t really explain why. So one day after school my little sister and I decided to warm up the leftover beef stew mom had made the night before. It was a good sized (glass) bowl of stew and I took the aluminum foil off the top of the bowl (because dad had warned us about metal not going into the microwave) so I stired the stew up and we put the whole bowl in the microwave. We pushed 4 minutes on the timer and started cooking the stew. Well... while we were talking and getting our individual soup bowls ready my sister handed me a spoon. I told her I would just use the spoon I had stirred the soup with... I began to look around for the spoon and at about that same time we started hearing a funny nose from the microwave. We ran over to look through the glass door and there were sparks shooting everywhere!!! I gasped when I suddenly realized I had left the metal spoon I had stirred it with in the bowl!!! I stopped the microwave and pulled out the bowl. My little sister and I assumed we had poisoned the stew by leaving the spoon in! We were so sad and upset, but felt what we had to do was to throw out all the stew so no one would eat it and get poisoned! When mom & dad came home from work they had planned on leftover stew for supper and it was all thrown out!!! My little sis and I were banned from the microwave for awhile!!! Hahaha! Dad did explain that the metal probably hurt the microwave more than that stew and we probably didn’t need to throw it out, but it was too late! I don’t even remember what we all had for supper that night, but it wasn’t the beef stew we had wanted!
Phyllis, I pray that you feel better soon. My microwave story started when my husband was given a trip to Acapuco, Mexico along with the sales winners in 76 & I was sitting next to the wife of the company's owner & she was reading her manual to her new microwave on the airplane. She was so excited about it & I had never heard of one before. I was pregnant with our 2nd son (of 3 sons). She started telling me about how fast it cooked & how great it would be to warm up formula, which I never did. After that trip, I was called up to his work because the company was going to present my husband with an award. To my surprise, the award was presented to both my husband & me. They said "Behind every successful man was a strong woman" & presented us with a new microwave as a baby gift. They made it a very special deal for us as it was the latest & newest way of cooking & we also had to learn how to use it which put us ahead of our friends & family in getting & using it. Being in Texas, we use it a LOT in the summers to keep the heat down in the house. I enjoyed your microwave story & that is my story that I will never forget.
😘 So delightful💕 I love you Miss Phyllis. Wonderful story. Great recipe👋👋😋. My first microwave was a gift from my husband. It was so huge it frightened me with its loud noise as it just boiled water, (Pictures of "Bride of Frankenstein came to mind.") I watched my husband use it for almost a year before I even tried to use it! 😅 middle to late '70's. I was one of the first to own one, the family was in the electronics business.
Best thing I ever used in a microwave was a microwave pressure cooker. I used it a lot when the kids were little for a quick chicken dinner after a long work day. The best way to clean it is to microwave a bowl of water for 3-5 minutes before starting to clean. It steams and softens any hard bits. So much easier to wipe out.
Great story Phyllis! I remember Mom & Dad bought a microwave and it was a professional type, all stainless steel, probe thermometer and it was large. The only story I can think of is making an asian roast in it for my Daddy when Mom was out of town. I followed Mom's recipe, but it was super salty. Daddy never told me or complained, but he told Mom. Lol
I remember when my dad got a microwave in the early 80s, it was massive! Never had any problems with it. The old thing was still going strong in the late 90s .
Thanks so much, Phyllis, for this recipe. I will try it for sure. And my older friend says that he also likes the skin on top! I'll make it just for him. Thanks again.
The whole family standing around this huge microwave waiting for our first try to finish. Our first try was a hotdog in the bun wrapped in a paper towel. It was done in in 1 minute😲 Delicious!!!
I really enjoyed your story and I am almost 58 and remember the first microwave too and it was huge. My Dad worked construction back then and lived part time away from home. He bought a microwave for the first time and tried cooking an egg in it and it looked pretty but was rubbery. He learned to pierce it first. His friend put raw carrots in one and they exploded . What a mess he said.
Thank you Mrs.Phyllis!!! 😘 My husband Brad will be so happy when I make this tonight for our dessert. Butterscotch is his favorite! I always cook mine in the microwave too!! but its the Jello box kind (no shame here, lol) never made it home made before, but I'll try!! We're still rebuilding since the hurricane last yr, and still dont have a real stovetop or oven yet. But my Microwave is my best friend along w my toaster oven! You gave me the courage to try difft dinners for just the 2 of us, and we've really enjoyed them.😊❣ I love hearing your stories and memories!!!🤗 You truly are a great role model!! Thank you so much for sharing your southern charm!💜
In the early days, the most often microwave cooked item was popcorn! The first one I had was a Sears model that was kinda like a built-in as we had our builder construct a cabinet to the dimensions of our microwave. This was in 1978. The first thing we prepared in it was popcorn. Was the most expensive popcorn maker we ever had.
yesterday for Valentine's day I made your homemade chocolate pudding, I forgot to put the butter in but it turned out amazing. I want to try this butterscotch but there's no way I have the patience to be taking it in and out of the microwave. I love your tutorials on how to make things I have made your chocolate-covered cherries about eight times because they are amazing. Thank you so much for sharing all your old fashioned recipes it reminds me of my grandmother who has been gone for 12 years now. God bless and by the way why do you call him mr. Bucky?
Bucky is his nickname, in this part of the South we put a Mr. and Miss in front of first names to show respect and affection. The Mr. is used for men and young boys of all ages and the Miss is used with the first name of girls and ladies regardless of marital status. It's a Southern thing.
I remember when my family got our first microwave when I was a teenager. It was huge, the size of a TV, and it had dials no digital buttons lol. My dad was so excited and couldn’t wait to show me how he could make “toast” in the microwave. Well it wasn’t toast, but it was nice warm bread and the first bite wasn’t too bad. As it cooled it got harder and harder until it was an inedible rock. And that’s what I always remember about first generation microwaves lol!
Are you sure you weren't at our house, too funny I was terrified of the darn thing I would make my little ones stand back when I used it It was so loud I thought it may blow up ..don't use mine very much.!
What a good idea! I am going to try this. I never thought about the microwave for things like this! Thanks for sharing both the recipe and your twist on the recipe. I resisted getting a microwave for a long time, then gave in. I usually only use it for re-heating. Now I will be using it for quick puddings!
I first learned about microwave ovens in my home economics class in 1971. My folks got one in the mid 70's, they loved to make hot ham and cheese sandwiches on hamburger buns. I got my first microwave soon after about 78, it was a Sears and had wood grain, and cost over 600.00. Yes it was huge. It lasted almost 30 years, so I got my money's worth.
Hello, I had forgotten how easy it is making this homemade so happy you made this video as I love all your videos. I think how in the world will you come up with another??? BAM 👍🏻 I look at my notifications and my heart flutters with excitement because there you are. THANK YOU
Thank you for your great story and recipes. Very much appreciated. You have such a calm and gracious demeanor . Best wishes jan from Merredin Western Australia
Hello again... I'm sure with all your experience with microwaves you can now cook an egg and know the simplest way to clean it. I make a fast bacon and egg sandwich, by using a small microwave safe plastic container, spray with cooking spray or butter whatever I have handy,one or two eggs puncture yolks add salt pepper cover with paper towel 1 minute for one egg,1 1/2 min for 2 eggs depending on egg size. Bacon as you made it. Great fast sandwich with cheese. My best choice in cleaning is a cup of cold water heated for 2 1/2 minutes. The water vapor makes it easy to wipe clean with a damp cloth. So I never have a splattered microwave. Thanks for all you do to cheer your viewers. Much Love
I'm 66 and did use microwave at work though I never really wanted one for myself but when my neighbor put one out on the curb I took that one. I put it in my utility room for seven or eight months but only used it about six times. Then I put it back on the curb on large trash pick up day. A guy in a pick up truck full of stuff came along and grabbed it. Who knows maybe it's still traveling around town! lol
Gosh, Auntie P....this made me realize how much I miss all of your old stories. And I need a New Year's update on all that's been going on too Please Darlin'. Love Ya'll, Hey Mr. Bucky and The Bratz!!! Love this pudding trick!!! Thank You
Yeah I remember when microwaves first came out....we had a huge one. Had a few incidents of sparks from kids putting wrong things in it but all in all I like my microwave. Pudding is something I never thought to cook in it but yours turned out great!
In the mid eighties we got a microwave at work. I worked in a place that took care of mentally challenged adults and as part of that program we had a foster-grandparent program. These were elderly people who would come in and spend time with the residents. One day one of the foster-grandparents had brought a hot dog for her lunch. She cooked it too long because when she took it out she said look at my hot dog and it looked like a slice of bacon and hard as a rock. We all got a good laugh out of it but we all had to share our lunches with her because she had to throw it away. I love your videos Phyllis. I am praying for you get well soon.
Phyllis I got my first microwave June 21st 1977 from Sears. My husband bought it for me for my 2nd wedding anniversary present. Yes it is huge and I still have it and I still use it everyday. I just measured it and it is 24inches wide, 16inches deep, and 15inches tall. It was over $500 dollars at the time cause it was the best at the time. I wonder how many people are still using an appliance they have had for over 42 years?
Yum, butterscotch! Also, what a great story, a good chuckle! But I hope they shared their lunch with you since yours escaped! My early experiences with a microwave included some explosions. One was a bean and ham soup, and either a bean or a ham chunk exploded and got the entire microwave splashed with bean soup. I learned the importance of having a plastic lid or paper plate on top of things. Also fun was my mom accidentally leaving a fork in a bowl and it had a strip of metal along the edge of the fork (it was mostly plastic, but she forgot about the handle trim). BOOM! But everything was okay after cleanup, heh!
Great recipe, gonna make it😊 Love your egg story, lol so funny, reminded me of the time I tried to poach an egg in the microwave and the egg exploded as I didn’t prick the yolk, what a mess it was!
Believe it or not, I am still using my original and only microwave. Sharp Carousel. It's not huge but its larger than newer ones that are over the range. Mine sits on my counter just like yours except mine is black with almond color. It still works like a charm. Thanks for sharing.
Oh my goodness! Never thought I'd be having my favorite homemade butterscotch pudding out here on the road. Thanks for your much appreciated know-how and for sharing such interesting & amusing stories as well. You're simply the best Miss Phyllis! 🍛🍰🍌😘
janice swann -👍 I agree. 🙏I hope all is well with Phyllis and her family. I’ve been watching her for years almost since she first started her channel. I have learned so much from her. 💞
I love butterscotch pudding, I'll have to give this one a try. I always make my pudding in the microwave and I use either a batter bowl (with handle) or my 6 cup pyrex measuring cup. Both do real well and they are tall. Now I also bring mine to a boil because that is what the boxed pudding say...so naturally I use that as my guide. When first put it in I give it 2 1/2 to 3 min. then whisk then do 1 min. increments... altogether 5 or 6 minutes total. I've never had the milk curdle, maybe I'm lucky. I'll tell the story of one of the workers (a man) where my late husband worked, put a bowl of hominy in the microwave. I don't know how long he set it for but he walked off to the coffee machine to get his coffee . It had finished when he got back to it and opened the door and all those hominy bits had expoded all over the oven. He said, "what stupid person put hominy in a micro". He slammed the door and walked off. I thought of that when you said the men never cleaned the microwave at your place. I got a good chuckle out of that...it must have been at least 35 years ago. Have a Blessed day and thanks for sharing the recipe and the story.
I really miss Phyllis I have watched all her videos and have made many of her recipes. I use all her custard pie recipes my husband's favorite is her Butterscotch pie. She sure was a great cook & teacher l loved how pleasant her voice was while talking through her cooking videos and telling her stories and Mr. Bucky was an awesome man I loved listening to his stories also.
I was so surprised when he passed away it's a shame they never got to enjoy their little camping spot more than they did, they both put so much thought into that little piece of land and the remodeling of the camper for them and their dogs. There are not many people around like them, there's just something different about the people that grew up and lived through the late 40s and 70’s they are unique people in their own way, and the way they planned to be put into the ground they put so much thought into everything they did or would purchase. RIP
RIP my lovely! It's not fair, Phyllis was still so full of life and energy. At least we've all had the opportunity to get to know her on TH-cam I guess. Lots of love from a very long time fan from the UK
Your mother unknowingly helped me through some of the worst times in my life. My ex husband was not a kind person - after the divorce I was a single mom trying to make it on my own. Stressed and scared. I came across her channel trying to find a recipe one day. Her videos calmed my anxiety, such a special lady ❤️ I can imagine she will continue to touch the lives of many who come across her channel.
I'm so sorry for y'alls loss..Prayers being said and sent for healing for all the family..You're Mother was an awesome and amazing Lady!..She was a Godsend to all who Graced her channel..She will be sorely missed terribly..
Thank you for letting us all know the sad news of her passing..God's blessings to you all in this time of need..Amen 🙏🛐❤🌹
I love your stories and I love butterscotch. I would love to hear more stories. It doesn't matter what the subject is. GOD BLESS you and Mr. Bucky.
I agree! I love hearing her stories, no matter what the subject is! Please do more storytelling videos, Ms. Phyllis!☺
This is such a nice, sweet message, especially considering the news I just received via her son's thoughtful announcement to her TH-cam subscribers.
Ms. Phyllis, Mr. Bucky and the awesome stories will be sorely missed. God bless you.
Nobody tells better stories while cooking than Phyllis! Makes me feel like I'm front-seat in her kitchen. R.I.P. Phyllis, you're much loved!
In the late 1970's I saved for months to buy an Amana Radar Range microwave. I took a class on how to use it at the store where I purchased it. I made peanut brittle first. Then filling for raisen cream pie because it was a favorite of my mom's. I remember it had a probe for meats and they didn't have turntables in those days. And like others said - it was huge. I
I had a good laugh over your egg story 😊 We've all had misadventures like that. I gummed up my grandmother's Presto pressure cooker with pearl tapioca. What a mess and it looked like fish eyes. Took me forever to get that pot clean. Bless my mom and grandma for letting me do my own cooking thing though. Great memories.
When I was little, I watched my parents use the microwave and thought, "well, that's easy. I can do that." So I figured I would fix myself a hotdog unsupervised. I don't remember exactly how long I cooked it for but afterwards I reached in, got it out, put it in a bun and took a big bite of it and it was just like biting into a tree stump.
I told my mom about your cooking! Ever since my grandmother passed we both knew that the days of home cooking lessons would be few and far between! But when I stumbled onto one of your videos (and then several hours later) I realized I hadn't had my last cooking lesson after all!
And what's even better, you don't make me go fetch something so I miss half the "secret" ingredients!
In the winter of '84-'85 I still had 3 children at home. I worked at a well known department store that never allowed their employees to work more than 30 hours per week. At minimum wage it was a real struggle to get by. After Christmas, the store had a huge sale, 50% off of everything storewide. At mid-afternoon they announced an additional 25% off of everything for 1 hour. I worked in the children's dept. so I asked a friend who was on break to cover my station while i went upstairs to housewares. I bought the only amana microwave in the store! It was regularly priced at $499, and with the 75% off, my 20% employee discount, and some additional credits I had saved I paid less than $50. The next day I went to a pawn shop and sold it outright for $200. My children and I were very happy that day!
Wow! You sure were creative. Good for you!!
@@peggiescraftcafe7117 Thank you. Amazing how ingenuous ideas come when its a necessity!
BRILLIANT!!
It looks lovely. When I was a girl my favourite was caramel pudding. They stopped making it don't know why. but it was heavenly.
I could listen to your stories all night long. Thanks for sharing the recipe. I truly have never had any pudding that hasn't come from a box. I will try this. ❤
I bought my parents their first microwave in the 80s. I had just started working, straight out of high school. They loved it!😊❤❤
I love your stories, recipes, and presentations!
Our first microwave was an Amana Radarange Touchmatic, probably around 1978 or 1980. I was just a little kid and remember thinking it was so fancy. My mother took a microwave cooking class given at the high school in the evenings, one of those adult education kind of things, and I had to go along sometimes. I thought it was so fun! That microwave worked through the 90s, and I think was only replaced because they wanted something smaller.
And I adore butterscotch pudding, so I will be trying this, although I only have a tiny little microwave that I barely ever use.
Love your stories as much as your cooking - which is great! I brought my microwave home from Okinawa after an assignment there in 1971. No cookbook and the only demo was cooking cake mix in a cup (but it had to be chocolate because vanilla looked terrible). I sold it after coming home and bought another one 5 years later and haven't looked back. Use it everyday.
This was such a treat as a child. I hope you are recovering well Phyllis, maybe mr. Bucky is cooking for you❤️🥰😊❤️
Oh how I love you and your videos!!! Phyllis, you make my day!! 😊😂
We bought our first microwave around 1989, it was a Christmas gift for our mom and dad. My mom was SO afraid to use it. After about Two days of having it , we finally talked her into trying it. we will never forget watching her put the food in the microwave, shut the door , put the time in , put her finger on the start button , push it really fast and run away! She completely CLEARED the kitchen she was so scared!! 😂 lol too funny!!
Have a great weekend! Love to Mr Bucky!! :)
Good afternoon Miss Phyllis and Mr Bucky!! Great video!!! The pudding looks scrumptious!!! I remember home economics introducing the new microwave technology for the modern kitchen !!! It was so HUGE!!! And the price was OUT OF REACH for most folks at the time...my how times have changed...THANKS FOR THE GREAT VIDEO😀💕💕💕
Miss Phyllis, Today I.continue to. Pray for you. I.love your stories your cooking and your sweet nature.
My mother made divinity every year for Xmas, I love love love divinity, I have tried many many times to make it on the stove and I failed every time, I came across a recipe by Richard Deacon in his microwave recipe book and decided to try it, it came out perfect so I now make it at least twice a year and it has never failed me yet, my thanks to Richard Deacon and my microwave, there isn't anything that I don't cook in it, I will now be making this pudding as butterscotch is my most favorite, thanks Phyllis I have made many of your recipes and they are fabulous, I miss my mothers cooking but you have brought a lot of it back in my life, thank you so much.
I'd be looking for that Richard Deacon cookbook if I were you, Ms Phyllis, so Mr Bucky can have some of the Divinity that he enjoys!
Used to know a lady that had a wonderful talent for making peanut brittle in the micro. I have heard that it takes some practice. It really was delicious, and she made tons of it for Christmas.
I need to try this recipe😀 I love listening to your stories! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for making videos. I love your voice and demeanor. Remind me so much of the mother figures in my family.
I was just sitting here wishing I had some pudding and this popped up in my notifications! I just love your videos and your website. 😊 off to make pudding right this min!😍 I remember the first microwave my folks got in the 80s, I swear it was like a steamer trunk it was so huge..😄 my favorite thing to make was baked potatoes, it was so much fun to have a tater ready in about 5 min. We thought that was pretty slick. 🤣
****update...the pudding is made and now I'm twiddling my thumbs waiting for it to cool...but the taste on the spoon I licked was delicious****😊
Holly N I still make bakers in there with those potato express bags...those red fabric ones from TV...4 minutes and perfectly baked💗
I miss you and hope you are okay. Your recipes are wonderful. God bless and comfort you.
We got a microwave in 1981 or 1982 when I was 10 yrs old. One afternoon shortly after we got it, I tried to heat up some peach cobbler. There was the tiniest sliver of aluminum foil stuck to the pyrex dish and it caught on fire. Scared me from using that thing alone for years. Thank you Phyllis - I love these simple recipes, the stories the lessons and the "for those who work series"!!
My parents got one when they first came out. I thought it was the coolest thing ever! I've had several since being an adult. Mine never blew up, but they did stop heating as well! Glad they're cheaper now days.
My Mother and I sure do miss the Snackin' Cake mix that used to be on the grocer shelves many years ago. Fast and so good, and just right for a small amount of people. Came with it's own little pan and frosting!
I remember those. Had forgotten about it.
I remember years ago my Mom got a huge new microwave and at Thanksgiving that year she had all of us kids over from out of state. All our kids were all babies then...lol Anyhow she for whatever reason cooked the turkey in that microwave 😳 Well half of it was like a petrified wood. She was really upset.....lol But we still got some of the other half it. And it was really dry.But all the rest of the dinner was good. She never did that again.
Well I made this on the stove and it was great. Good recipe. Thanks Phyllis for all your teachings. Appreciate all your videos.
Ms Phyllis in 1998 our Youngest Daughter caught 3 different NEW microwaves on fire on the inside in a 2 week period. She was around 12. First fire microwave popcorn. She thought it needed 10 minutes to cook. Second Microwave she put a fast food hamburger that was wrapped in foil. She cook that for 4 minutes. 3rd microwave was hot chocolate in a foam cup with colored pattern on the cup. 3 minutes & that cup was flaming.. She ruint all 3. GOD love her She still burns food up sometimes.. Yes in the microwave, on top of the stove or yes in my oven.. She is single & 31.. MORAL OF MY STORY I keep 2 fire extinguishers in my kitchen...WE PRAY WHEN SHE COOKS..
Julie Wallace That is too funny! Best thing I have read all day.
🤣 aw poor girl
Omgosh that’s too funny!
Lol love your story. It made me laugh
LMAO ... sorry not laughing....LMAO
I love the skin on chocolate pudding. My siblings didn't, so they gave it to me...score!! That sheet tray is a fantastic idea!!💖 I pray things are going well for you and your family.
My husband was one of the engineers that helped design the microwaves. He was picked to be the one that tested it at home(this was before they were put on the market). We had a very small kitchen and that microwave was gigantic (you could cook a whole turkey in it)! We would cook different things and then had to continuously fill out reports. I think we did that for a year and then he had to return it. As soon as they were available to the public, we purchased one. They are so convenient!
Then I am sure you are familiar with the book the Zapping of America. A expose on the governments cover up of the microwave industry. Shame that book is impossible to find now.
@@oppaloopabetty551 It's available on Amazon.
Hi Phyllis, love your story! I have fond memories of getting our first microwave. My Dad would let my Grandma cook in it when she was alone, but not on the stove. He knew the microwave would not catch on fire. She was so proud that she could learn to use it in her 80"s. Thanks for bringing back those fond memories for me!
Phillis.. I really can't eat the foods you prepare.. I'm 54 now.. I lost my mom at the age of 19.. you comfort me with your calmness.. letting me know. Everything is going to be ok.. thank you... God Bless you and Mr Bucky.. I wish you many, many more Blessed years.
Miss Phyllis, how did you know butterscotch is my favorite pudding? I prefer to eat all my puddings warm. I thank you kindly for this pudding recipe. I so love watching your videos. Have a Happy Valentine's Day to you both.
I love your stories Phyllis. I have never thought of making pudding in the microwave.
Thanks Phyllis
My first job was at Sanders Confectionary In Detroit early 70’s I was a lunch counter girl. I was young, still in school. I never saw a microwave and they had one. They taught me how to make scrambled eggs in it. A coffee cup, crack two eggs in it, add one pat of butter and add a little half and half coffee creamer. Beat it with a fork put the coffee cup saucer on top of it, cook it for two minutes. Put it on a plate with one piece of buttered toast sliced in half and a slice of tomato. It was 75 cents. Went home and told my parents about it like I saw a spaceship, I was amazed . Bought my first microwave for myself early 80’s. Caught it on fire cooking a baked potato, that’s another story. Lol....😀
I loved Sanders in Detroit. We used to go all the time in the 1970's. Even before that my brother and I when we were kids used to take the bus across the border to Detroit to pick up a Sanders cake for my Mom.
Higgybee .... Awwww, yes Sanders baked goods were delicious. It actually was the best job I’ve ever had. Sounds like you’re from Canada? 😀
@@phillipsmom6252 yes Windsor. Still go over to buy a Sanders Bumpy cake once in a while and just bought a big bag of Sanders chocolate covered Gummy Bears. Some stores over here carry the hot fudge. I remember sitting at Hudsons and eating a Sanders Hot fudge covered ice cream puff. haha those were the days
Higgybee ...Great memories!! 😀
My all-time favorite cake came from Sanders . Chocolate cream and chocolate shell frosting. Best cake ever!
yumm!! I love butterscotch pudding!!!
I hope you and Mr Bucky are doing well and Thank you for all your incredible tricks and stories in the kitchen..
Came across your page months ago, looking for a buttermilk pie recipe. I have watched and made many of your recipes and my family has loved them all. I wish you had a recipe book. My family and I love your videos, stories and recipes. Much love from my family here in San Francisco to yours
I’ve Made A Cake In My Microwave , And It Turned Out Really Good 👍🏽
Thank you so much!! Butterscotch is my favorite.
Mine too!😊
Mine as well. I waited nearly a week to watch this because I knew if it is easy enough I'll be making it probably too often! 😉
Mine too! 👌💖
Mine too.
My mother got hers @ 1970 and I got so used to it, when I married in 1972 and moved away, I missed it terribly. I got mine in 1980 and still have the original cookbook and use it (the cookbook) to this day. It was 700 watts, so the time and/or power has to be adjusted, but the recipes are still good.
Yummy! Love butterscotch pudding. Yes I remember the first microwave we had in 1980 or 1981. My dad told my mom he was going to be a little late coming home one night and when he came home he had a microwave. At first microwave and it was huge. My mom wasn't thrilled and said she was going to throw it out the window. A lady at church told my mom just use it for a week and if you don't like it you can get rid of it. But I bet you will say how did I ever live without the microwave. My mom loved it within a week. Then on Thanksgiving she cooked part of a meal in the microwave. Not the turkey but the rest of the meal. My mom made a cake in a microwave and my uncle said it was not done. All because it wasn't Brown on top. But it was done. My Mom and Dad loved doing baked potatoes in the microwave. My dad's mom would never have a microwave she was against them.
Ms. Phyllis, you reminded me of my first microwave experience when I was about 12 years old, so it would have been about 1987/88. My parents bought our first microwave and I remember it being so huge that it took up the entire space on top of the dishwasher. Our dishwasher was on wheels and we had to push it to the sink when we ran it, then push it back to the wall when it was finished. With the microwave on top, it became quite heavy! The first evening we had it, my Mom and I looked through the recipe book that came with it. Our microwave also came with a few microwave safe dishes made from some sort of plastic. There was a "bacon cooker" contraption that was a round, plastic plate with ridges to collect the grease. I also remember a muffin pan made of plastic that held 6 muffins. We went through the cupboards and saw we had the ingredients for "pineapple muffins". We got to work and when they were done in a matter of minutes we were so excited! Perhaps if we ate them piping hot they would have been okay, but we had to let them cool off. Well, in the cooling off process they solidified and became a rubbery, hockey puck consistency. Kidding around, I said "i bet this would bounce" and dropped it on the kitchen floor. It bounced a good 4 or 5 times, right out of the kitchen! We could not eat them, they were terrible!
my very first microwave I made popcorn in a brown paper bag. Second thing was a fried egg. It was great! We have one, I like food cooked on the stove much better, BUT it is a handy thing to have.
I sure enjoyed this one, Phyllis. We bought one also, the thing was so huge...it took nearly all of my counter space at the time!
I worked in a factory early in my marriage and we had a microwave in our lounge. We used it to warm our meals or items we bought in vending machines. Most of the time we would pop popcorn in it. When microwaves came out they gave cookbooks with recipes to cook different types of meals. I found we didn't enjoy some meals cooked in the microwave but I did cook rice and meatloaf to save time. We also used it a lot for popcorn. We thought it was amazing popping popcorn. Lol
We just love your stories! Thank You for sharing. ❤❤❤❤
Love your family! I feel like I’m in the kitchen with you and having a cup of coffee!😊
Thank you for this delicious recipe. I tried it and it turned out very nice.
I made Ellie May corn muffins in my first microwave. I'll never forget my brother dropping by and was so excited I had made corn muffins. He loved them with butter. So he got one put some butter on. And went to take a huge bite and had the most funniest expression on his face. Then he said, these are the most delicious corn muffins I've ever had. 😱😂😂 Wow.
I bought some silicone mitts for my Instant Pot so it would be easier to lift out the inner pot and other pots when I cook something PIP. I’ve found them great to get hot bowls out of the microwave. Sometimes I would end up getting my cloth pot holders into the food if the bowl was full. If you get the silicone ones in the food, you can just rinse them off and save having to launder cloth ones. I got the official ones. They’re red and have a place for your thumb on one side and fingers on the other. They are easy to don and doff, too. You can’t use them for heavy, hot things in the conventional oven, tho’. The heat will come through fairly quickly, but they’re great for the microwave. I make pudding in the microwave without eggs. You can go longer without whisking, and it’s lower in cholesterol, fat, and calories. Works with skim milk, too. Takes about 6 minutes vs 15 or so on the stovetop in a saucepan.
Phyllis! I have been watching all your videos and I think I am all caught up and I come look everyday to see if you’ve made a new one! I am from southeast Kansas and really enjoy your soothing voice as you teach me so many things I remember mom and my grandma making! Tonight I watched you make the microwave butterscotch pudding. Wow! I have never heard of making pudding in the microwave but copied your recipe and am going to try it soon! I also saw your video about ordering from Walmart and them bringing it right out to my car. I am going to try that soon, too!! Ok... I am chatting you up too much, but I wanted to tell you the first time my parents got a microwave I was a senior in high school. It was such a big deal when we got it! We were so impressed! Mom never really cooked in it but we used it for heating things up. I remember dad warning us to never put anything metal in the microwave. He said it was very dangerous, but didn’t really explain why. So one day after school my little sister and I decided to warm up the leftover beef stew mom had made the night before. It was a good sized (glass) bowl of stew and I took the aluminum foil off the top of the bowl (because dad had warned us about metal not going into the microwave) so I stired the stew up and we put the whole bowl in the microwave. We pushed 4 minutes on the timer and started cooking the stew. Well... while we were talking and getting our individual soup bowls ready my sister handed me a spoon. I told her I would just use the spoon I had stirred the soup with... I began to look around for the spoon and at about that same time we started hearing a funny nose from the microwave. We ran over to look through the glass door and there were sparks shooting everywhere!!! I gasped when I suddenly realized I had left the metal spoon I had stirred it with in the bowl!!! I stopped the microwave and pulled out the bowl. My little sister and I assumed we had poisoned the stew by leaving the spoon in! We were so sad and upset, but felt what we had to do was to throw out all the stew so no one would eat it and get poisoned! When mom & dad came home from work they had planned on leftover stew for supper and it was all thrown out!!! My little sis and I were banned from the microwave for awhile!!! Hahaha! Dad did explain that the metal probably hurt the microwave more than that stew and we probably didn’t need to throw it out, but it was too late! I don’t even remember what we all had for supper that night, but it wasn’t the beef stew we had wanted!
Thank you Miss Phyllis. Can’t wait to make this. My family loves butterscotch pudding.
Phyllis, I pray that you feel better soon. My microwave story started when my husband was given a trip to Acapuco, Mexico along with the sales winners in 76 & I was sitting next to the wife of the company's owner & she was reading her manual to her new microwave on the airplane. She was so excited about it & I had never heard of one before. I was pregnant with our 2nd son (of 3 sons). She started telling me about how fast it cooked & how great it would be to warm up formula, which I never did. After that trip, I was called up to his work because the company was going to present my husband with an award. To my surprise, the award was presented to both my husband & me. They said "Behind every successful man was a strong woman" & presented us with a new microwave as a baby gift. They made it a very special deal for us as it was the latest & newest way of cooking & we also had to learn how to use it which put us ahead of our friends & family in getting & using it. Being in Texas, we use it a LOT in the summers to keep the heat down in the house. I enjoyed your microwave story & that is my story that I will never forget.
😘 So delightful💕 I love you Miss Phyllis. Wonderful story. Great recipe👋👋😋. My first microwave was a gift from my husband. It was so huge it frightened me with its loud noise as it just boiled water, (Pictures of "Bride of Frankenstein came to mind.") I watched my husband use it for almost a year before I even tried to use it! 😅 middle to late '70's. I was one of the first to own one, the family was in the electronics business.
You are the zen of home cooking.
Best thing I ever used in a microwave was a microwave pressure cooker. I used it a lot when the kids were little for a quick chicken dinner after a long work day. The best way to clean it is to microwave a bowl of water for 3-5 minutes before starting to clean. It steams and softens any hard bits. So much easier to wipe out.
Great story Phyllis! I remember Mom & Dad bought a microwave and it was a professional type, all stainless steel, probe thermometer and it was large. The only story I can think of is making an asian roast in it for my Daddy when Mom was out of town. I followed Mom's recipe, but it was super salty. Daddy never told me or complained, but he told Mom. Lol
I love Pudding 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Ms. Phyllis, I like your idea of making it in a double boiler. I will continue to make it in a double boiler it comes out awesome !
I remember mama's warm vanilla pudding as a very young child. Thank you Mrs. Phyllis
I remember when my dad got a microwave in the early 80s, it was massive! Never had any problems with it. The old thing was still going strong in the late 90s .
Thanks so much, Phyllis, for this recipe. I will try it for sure. And my older friend says that he also likes the skin on top! I'll make it just for him. Thanks again.
The whole family standing around this huge microwave waiting for our first try to finish. Our first try was a hotdog in the bun wrapped in a paper towel. It was done in in 1 minute😲 Delicious!!!
Butterscotch pudding is my favorite! Must try this recipe
I really enjoyed your story and I am almost 58 and remember the first microwave too and it was huge. My Dad worked construction back then and lived part time away from home. He bought a microwave for the first time and tried cooking an egg in it and it looked pretty but was rubbery. He learned to pierce it first. His friend put raw carrots in one and they exploded . What a mess he said.
Thank you Mrs.Phyllis!!! 😘 My husband Brad will be so happy when I make this tonight for our dessert. Butterscotch is his favorite! I always cook mine in the microwave too!! but its the Jello box kind (no shame here, lol) never made it home made before, but I'll try!! We're still rebuilding since the hurricane last yr, and still dont have a real stovetop or oven yet. But my Microwave is my best friend along w my toaster oven! You gave me the courage to try difft dinners for just the 2 of us, and we've really enjoyed them.😊❣ I love hearing your stories and memories!!!🤗 You truly are a great role model!! Thank you so much for sharing your southern charm!💜
Your story about the microwave gave me tears from laughter lol God bless you Miss.Phyllisis
In the early days, the most often microwave cooked item was popcorn! The first one I had was a Sears model that was kinda like a built-in as we had our builder construct a cabinet to the dimensions of our microwave. This was in 1978. The first thing we prepared in it was popcorn. Was the most expensive popcorn maker we ever had.
RIP Sweet lady I have so enjoyed your videos I will greatly miss you 🙏🙏❤️❤️
LOL, I love your microwave stories. I got my first microwave in 1990 and I still have it. Mine is huge. I use it every day.
I enjoy your stories so much! That pudding looked delicious!
yesterday for Valentine's day I made your homemade chocolate pudding, I forgot to put the butter in but it turned out amazing. I want to try this butterscotch but there's no way I have the patience to be taking it in and out of the microwave. I love your tutorials on how to make things I have made your chocolate-covered cherries about eight times because they are amazing. Thank you so much for sharing all your old fashioned recipes it reminds me of my grandmother who has been gone for 12 years now. God bless and by the way why do you call him mr. Bucky?
Bucky is his nickname, in this part of the South we put a Mr. and Miss in front of first names
to show respect and affection. The Mr. is used for men and young boys of all ages and the
Miss is used with the first name of girls and ladies regardless of marital status. It's a
Southern thing.
I remember when my family got our first microwave when I was a teenager. It was huge, the size of a TV, and it had dials no digital buttons lol. My dad was so excited and couldn’t wait to show me how he could make “toast” in the microwave. Well it wasn’t toast, but it was nice warm bread and the first bite wasn’t too bad. As it cooled it got harder and harder until it was an inedible rock. And that’s what I always remember about first generation microwaves lol!
😁😁😁
Are you sure you weren't at our house, too funny I was terrified of the darn thing I would make my little ones stand back when I used it It was so loud I thought it may blow up ..don't use mine very much.!
What a good idea! I am going to try this. I never thought about the microwave for things like this! Thanks for sharing both the recipe and your twist on the recipe. I resisted getting a microwave for a long time, then gave in. I usually only use it for re-heating. Now I will be using it for quick puddings!
I first learned about microwave ovens in my home economics class in 1971. My folks got one in the mid 70's, they loved to make hot ham and cheese sandwiches on hamburger buns. I got my first microwave soon after about 78, it was a Sears and had wood grain, and cost over 600.00. Yes it was huge. It lasted almost 30 years, so I got my money's worth.
Hello, I had forgotten how easy it is making this homemade so happy you made this video as I love all your videos. I think how in the world will you come up with another??? BAM 👍🏻 I look at my notifications and my heart flutters with excitement because there you are. THANK YOU
Thank you for your great story and recipes. Very much appreciated. You have such a calm and gracious demeanor . Best wishes jan from Merredin Western Australia
Love your stories!
This is just a wonderful recipe.I will sure be making this Phyllis.Thank you!!
Hello again... I'm sure with all your experience with microwaves you can now cook an egg and know the simplest way to clean it. I make a fast bacon and egg sandwich, by using a small microwave safe plastic container, spray with cooking spray or butter whatever I have handy,one or two eggs puncture yolks add salt pepper cover with paper towel 1 minute for one egg,1 1/2 min for 2 eggs depending on egg size. Bacon as you made it. Great fast sandwich with cheese. My best choice in cleaning is a cup of cold water heated for 2 1/2 minutes. The water vapor makes it easy to wipe clean with a damp cloth. So I never have a splattered microwave. Thanks for all you do to cheer your viewers. Much Love
RIP, Sweet Phyllis. I still look to yours for the best microwave pudding recipe.
I'm 66 and did use microwave at work though I never really wanted one for myself but when my neighbor put one out on the curb I took that one. I put it in my utility room for seven or eight months but only used it about six times. Then I put it back on the curb on large trash pick up day. A guy in a pick up truck full of stuff came along and grabbed it. Who knows maybe it's still traveling around town! lol
Gosh, Auntie P....this made me realize how much I miss all of your old stories. And I need a New Year's update on all that's been going on too Please Darlin'. Love Ya'll, Hey Mr. Bucky and The Bratz!!! Love this pudding trick!!! Thank You
Yeah I remember when microwaves first came out....we had a huge one. Had a few incidents of sparks from kids putting wrong things in it but all in all I like my microwave. Pudding is something I never thought to cook in it but yours turned out great!
👍😆😂🤣ROFL about the egg ball bouncing around!! Great story. I’m gonna try this butterscotch pudding recipe. Thanks for sharing. 🤗💞🤗
Miss Phyllis! Great video! I LOVE butterscotch pudding. My recipe is a bit different. Mine comes from the box. LOL!
Melly K 😂
In the mid eighties we got a microwave at work. I worked in a place that took care of mentally challenged adults and as part of that program we had a foster-grandparent program. These were elderly people who would come in and spend time with the residents. One day one of the foster-grandparents had brought a hot dog for her lunch. She cooked it too long because when she took it out she said look at my hot dog and it looked like a slice of bacon and hard as a rock. We all got a good laugh out of it but we all had to share our lunches with her because she had to throw it away. I love your videos Phyllis. I am praying for you get well soon.
Phyllis I got my first microwave June 21st 1977 from Sears. My husband bought it for me for my 2nd wedding anniversary present. Yes it is huge and I still have it and I still use it everyday. I just measured it and it is 24inches wide, 16inches deep, and 15inches tall. It was over $500 dollars at the time cause it was the best at the time. I wonder how many people are still using an appliance they have had for over 42 years?
I enjoyed your video and your microwave story.
Yum, butterscotch! Also, what a great story, a good chuckle! But I hope they shared their lunch with you since yours escaped! My early experiences with a microwave included some explosions. One was a bean and ham soup, and either a bean or a ham chunk exploded and got the entire microwave splashed with bean soup. I learned the importance of having a plastic lid or paper plate on top of things. Also fun was my mom accidentally leaving a fork in a bowl and it had a strip of metal along the edge of the fork (it was mostly plastic, but she forgot about the handle trim). BOOM! But everything was okay after cleanup, heh!
Great recipe, gonna make it😊 Love your egg story, lol so funny, reminded me of the time I tried to poach an egg in the microwave and the egg exploded as I didn’t prick the yolk, what a mess it was!
Believe it or not, I am still using my original and only microwave. Sharp Carousel. It's not huge but its larger than newer ones that are over the range. Mine sits on my counter just like yours except mine is black with almond color. It still works like a charm. Thanks for sharing.
Microwaves are awesome 👏🏽
Oh my goodness! Never thought I'd be having my favorite homemade butterscotch pudding out here on the road. Thanks for your much appreciated know-how and for sharing such interesting & amusing stories as well. You're simply the best Miss Phyllis! 🍛🍰🍌😘
Ms Phyllis I hope y’all are well I miss your stories and videos! You are in my prayers that you will be back soon!
janice swann -👍 I agree. 🙏I hope all is well with Phyllis and her family. I’ve been watching her for years almost since she first started her channel. I have learned so much from her. 💞
I love butterscotch pudding, I'll have to give this one a try. I always make my pudding in the microwave and I use either a batter bowl (with handle) or my 6 cup pyrex measuring cup. Both do real well and they are tall. Now I also bring mine to a boil because that is what the boxed pudding say...so naturally I use that as my guide. When first put it in I give it 2 1/2 to 3 min. then whisk then do 1 min. increments... altogether 5 or 6 minutes total. I've never had the milk curdle, maybe I'm lucky. I'll tell the story of one of the workers (a man) where my late husband worked, put a bowl of hominy in the microwave. I don't know how long he set it for but he walked off to the coffee machine to get his coffee . It had finished when he got back to it and opened the door and all those hominy bits had expoded all over the oven. He said, "what stupid person put hominy in a micro". He slammed the door and walked off. I thought of that when you said the men never cleaned the microwave at your place. I got a good chuckle out of that...it must have been at least 35 years ago. Have a Blessed day and thanks for sharing the recipe and the story.
