Downsizing In The Kitchen

[@jessica3497]

RIP Phyllis 😢 I’m grateful for these videos as reminders of a life well lived

[@ladymarjorie3777]

I just found Phyllis' videos and subscribed. I know she is now in heaven with her Mr. Bucky. She left an amazing legacy for us all to learn from. She and Mr. Bucky sure were special people.

[@louisenurse1234]

I love this visit back at the house. Precious.

[@bettycarter4912]

I'll never get tired of watching Phyllis's videos. She was a special lady.

[@deltas4114]

Watching, and thinking how wonderful a lady you were. Rest in Peace, and just know....I will keep watching. 🕯🌹

[@reneelynn6832]

Me too😓❤️

[@fancysfolly554]

Me three...I'm really enjoying hearing Steven, Phyllis's son, give another perspective on their story...they're such a lovely example of small town, southern couple...delightful people. Miss those 2 dear people..

[@bettypierce8050]

I love rewatching these videos. RIP Ms. Phyllis and Mr. Bucky.

[@aliceannfondren5346]

Oh Phyllis you have ruined my life!!! I’m so addicted to your videos I can’t get anything else done!! I’m so inspired by all your talents wisdom skills organization and good cooking. How in God’s name do you have the time to do all this and make thousands of videos to help others ?? FYI that Apple is a Macintosh and it’s perfectly fine to use cast iron on your glass cooktop. I’ve been doing it for years with no harm done. There are many home cooks on KZbin but in my opinion (and I should know bc I sit here all day watching them) you are my fav!!! Thanks for everything and keep em coming!!!

[@darleneklonk9128]

I'm trying to catch up on her videos! I'm sad I just discovered Phyllis a few months ago. Now I'm binge watching her . I'm so sad about Mr. Bucky.....

[@josiecardenas4440]

@@darleneklonk9128 I am doing the same i found her much later then you did . Phyllis and her lovely husband had both passed away . I was so sad as well

[@patriciahaskins1956]

I found her the week she passed away. I also have been binge watching. Almost every one I watch, I think of something I want to ask or tell her. But that can't be. I was thinking today, because of these wonderful videos, she will live on for everyone to love and learn from. I am SO thankful that her son is going to continue the channel. His videos are really wonderful also. And I love that Bella is involved! You can see that he is her son - the same thoughtful mannerisms. RIP Phyllis, and thank you. Love you. 😰😰😰

[@mimiohnine]

I hope your children appreciate all these videos of you, sweet Ms Phyllis. My mom is with you in Glory and I have wanted to hear her voice again. What a blessing for your family. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@susanlester1]

[@mimiohnine]

susan529 I know. I watch Stephen. I was just having a heavenly conversation with Ms Phyllis ♥️♥️

[@susanlester1]

Ella Swick How nice! I didn’t mean to interfere. I wasn’t reading your post closely enough. I imagine All Gods children with Him have a connection in Glory.

Thank you PHYLLIS!! aka Stephens mother😊. You can still inspire me. God bless you Stephen, you&yours.🕊️

[@larisaalbrecht178]

Hello Dear Ms. Phyllis. I love your channel. I love to hear you speak. Your voice ist so calming. I wish you and Mr. Bucky a wonderful and blessed day. GOD BLESS YOU, MR. BUCKY AND YOUR LOVED ONES. Greetings from Hamburg, Germany

[@mollysmith6055]

Stephen, you are so lucky to have all these wonderful videos of your mom. I'd love to have something like this to watch and hear my own mother again. We are lucky to have this library of your mom's videos to revisit and enjoy her back in her health and vigor. Plus this was good to rewatch to get me motivated to go through my cabinets again and get rid of a few more things.

[@AngelaOfRoseCottage]

Good job! When I was a young mother, an older mentor taught me to use an empty Kleenex box for plastic shopping bags. You wouldn't believe how many bags it will hold-- just stuff them in one at a time -- and the box is a more compact size than other things I have tried. Many yrs have passed and I still use this idea.

[@juliacampbell5881]

Hello Phyllis, I just wanted to add that if you want to get as much use out of your spices as you can, dont throw away old ones. Even the ones long past their date can still be used. Just put them into a pot on the back of your stove with some orange peel or whatever you have. Add water and simmer on low. Gives the house a wonderful smell without all the chemicals you get in air fresheners. Rosemary and banana peel are really good together.

[@sammanblue4352]

Love watching the older videos. Always good practical advice.

[@sherryj0528]

I just found Ms Phyllis recently and didn't know she had passed! I'm so very sad. What a wonderful lady! Hope these videos will continue on. So many more I'm looking forward to watching. My prayers go out to her family. I know she is sorely missed!

[@MB-NC1967]

We remodeled a home and moved in December 2018. I believe “less is more”.😊 Can’t get enough of your videos. Shalom from NC✝️

[@sheilab1772]

You are very organized and will do well living in a small house! I think it makes us happier when we get things done and there isn't the chaos of stuff everywhere. Great Job!

[@Denise00700]

I always think it’s cute when you stop the camera to sneeze! 😂 🤧 💕

[@fancysfolly554]

Miss Phyllis gave us lots of entertainment, information, and fun...I loved ,loved the video when Phyllis and Bucky sang the little ditty that a viewer 'd written and sent to her...I commented that Mr Bucky was such a good sport...my husband would never do a video and sing with me! 😄They will be missed by a lot of people...and they were a gorgeous couple...the pictures Steven is sharing have just been wonderful...and that Mr Bucky called Miss Phyllis Commanche when they were arguing..such a cute story..so glad they shared th it lives..😄

I'm going to start looking at the dates on my stuff I didn't realize That could happens to pasta. You have taught me so much by listen to your videos.

[@bleebleeblahblah]

Yes, Ms. Phyllis has. I've been re-watching all the videos. I sure do miss these two lovely folks. Rest in peace.

[@tinaanderson5298]

Just love her and wish I'd discovered her videos sooner.

[@stpierreforjesusthesavior984]

You have a beautiful kitchen and am sure you remodeled it yourself, and doing your own plumbing knowing it will not leak. I am impressed with all your plumbing and electrical skills and inspired that you don't have to call in tradespeople, that so much can be learned and done oneself. You were so generous to show us all the inside of your kitchen cabinets and how well you thinned out and organized. Entire video, inspiring. And your having devotions each morning; the entire video is one gran inspiration. Thank you for sharing. Learned so much and was inspired in many ways. Your info on the cooktop video also very informative.

[@twodogzdogue8710]

Phyllis is inspiring me to tackle this terrible messy house I'm in... If it's possible to throw away things you've kept for 40 years, it must be possible for me to give things I've been hoarding for 25 years. I never thought I would be able to do it & I thought my son would have to pay someone to empty the house out after I die. That's been depressing me. I feel inspired watching Phyllis & Mr Buckey, it really helps me, like having a Mother here still to help show me what to do.

[@robinlambert934]

I just started getting rid of a lot of my kitchen items too . Just love your videos! Mrs.Robin

[@sandyshorewalker5364]

Organization is good in the kitchen. I am sure I have some expired hello and other mixes I should go through. I do have a lot of duplication. I really like the way Phyllis lined her cupboards with that clear cover and painted it all white. Very nice and no over crowding. Great video, thanks.

[@phyllispartonmarks8912]

You did a wonderful job! I'm attached to my kitchen stuff too & it drives me crazy....I would love to have that many cabinets!!!

[@PhyllisStokes]

Phyllis Parton Marks One draw back to lots of cabinets is you tend to get more stuff which is exactly what fed my habit of collecting kitchen gadgets, I knew I could find a place for them.

[@phyllispartonmarks8912]

True!

What an excellent job of organizing, Ms Phyllis!!

I still have my dads spices from the 40s, I’m keeping cuz the containers they are metal and old old, I don’t use them. Just neat antique spice containers.

[@skinnydolldiana4398]

Hi Phyllis, really liked the kitchen tour. Liked the idea of using plastic runner material for your lining too! Don't you feel soooooo much better? When everything is organized and you know what you have, you can really save on grocery buying, by not buying duplicates. I recently decluttered and organized our pantry/utility room and now on the 1st of every month I take a real fast inventory and straightening of the shelves, like they do in the grocery store. It has changed my life for when we go to the grocery store. I love knowing what we have in the pantry. I keep at least two of everything and some things I make sure there is 4-6. We also have a large prepper's shelf for 5 gal water and dry and canned shelf food. Radios and extra lights and bug out bags for both of us for any hurricanes and tropical storms, since we live in Florida. We've been blessed and have never had to use the prepper shelf. :) It is so physiologically refreshing when things are organized, not to mention what you are cutting off of your moving time. Thanks for the vid...

[@PhyllisStokes]

Skinnydoll diana You seem to have it all together. Taking inventory before going shopping is a good idea, wish I had been doing that. Now that I can see everything in my cabinets it will be easy.

[@ritabrunetti381]

We can all learn something new everyday. Thanks!!

[@MaryPinkHair]

Tupperware is where I have gone wrong! It is so difficult to keep the lids straightened out so, I am always searching for the right lids to fit the containers. I really need to get rid of lots of those/ maybe all of them and go with something store bought and stackable. Seriously! Thank you for making me think about this once again and I promise you it will be moved up to top priority. So, why the heck do we live with a known headache for many many years.... I'm thinking it is because we are so good at telling ourselves we don't care? UGH

[@1954evelyn]

WOW this video inspired me so much, I am a kitchen gadget person and I don't have 2 of everythign I think I have 5 of everything. I hope to be able to do this I want to take one cabinet at a time and LET GO of things. I have so many measuring cups when I want one I can't find the one I am looking for because I have 5 or 10 of each one and when I am looking I find every size I need except the one i need. Also I am a spice collector you have inspired me to down size on them for sure, yesterday I was looking for Parsley and I had to look through 4 cabinets, on the back of the basement door and through a set of shelving in the walk in pantry and I still couldn't find it!! I got so angry I got a basket and just started unloading spices from the cabinets into the basket LOL this is good I watched this I can check for outdated and old spices some I had 4 and 5 of because I had forgot what one I already had because I couldn't find it and bought another, I am tossing the oldest ones and only keeping the new ones and ONLY 1 of each LOL I love Radar knives and I have a bunch of them I do have a magnet knife holder on the wall over the counter where I clip them it is easy but my junk drawers and silver ware drawers are so stuffed you can't even find what you are looking for, I have 3 one gallon crocks I keep my working utensils in and they are over flowing also I MUST get rid of things!!!

[@QIKWIA]

I have at least, NO joke, a TON of boxes and kitchen gadgets and stuff to go through waiting in my garage! I was thinking about hiring someone (or two) to help me...I'm overwhelmed by just the thought of getting started!

I am going to put the lids in its own pot and pan. Thank you for the idea!

Hi Ms. Phyllis. I have a big load to take to Goodwill tomorrow. I am so glad and I can't wait to get this stuff out of here. Decluttering is a big job and I have been overwhelmed by all the stuff I've accumulated.I did take back a few items but, I am holding steadfast and going to get it done by the end of June. Good job Ms. Phyllis and you are helping others to maybe get inspired to declutter or at least clean out some rooms. :)

[@BohistaNordica]

My mother was a MUCH better housekeeper than I am. I am grateful for all the domestic arts I did learn from her, but I just can't keep house as perfectly as she did. The main problem, I think, is all my hobbies and the time my grandchildren spend here.......but I can clearly remember how my Mom rotated through every drawer, closet and cupboard in our house on a regular basis, arranging and rearranging; wiping down shelves and inside drawers; refolding linens or tossing outdated foodstuffs; finding things to purge or donate, repurpose or use up. Because it was just a spot or two a day, it didn't take much time but she never skipped it even when the area looked tidy already. I do this in binges but never have been able to be consistent like she was. As a result I think she made better use of resources. I'm more likely to have that unneeded box of crackers LOL!

[@gracel3320]

Hello Phyllis! I am a fairly new subscriber but feel like I know you because we have so much in common. I lived in Norfolk and Va Beach for many years and my husband worked at the Newport News shipyard as an investigator for quite a while. We had a cabin that we restored in the mountains while living and working in Va Beach.i won't go into more detail but there were many other areas that clicked, especially the fact that we are born again Christians. I love your videos and appreciate the time and effort it takes to do them. Tell Mr Bucky hello, he and my hubby could be brothers, they really favor! Your kitchen looks wonderful, great job! Hugs to you both!💕

[@avibonn5724]

Dear Phyllis, I suffer from the very same kitchen fever for gadgets, dishes, pots, and all kinds of kitchen stuff. My small kitchen is bursting with so much stuff that I have overflowed into the nearby adjacent rooms. Plasticware takes up so much usable space and it seems the lid is elsewhere....LOL. I like an assortment of knives too, little ones, medium ones, all kinds. I have some of mine on the wall magnet which helps keep them visible and thus used more. They keep their sharp edge better that way too. Oh Phyllis if I had to go through a purge like you just did, I would agonize over it. I have some of my grandma's old pots that I think I will never use again, but keep because they remind me of her, and my first place when I was a poor young student. I use my cast iron skillet (on my glass cooktop, by the way) more than any other as it cooks the absolute best. You have done exceptionally well Phyllis and are to be commended. Your efforts will pay off when you move and find you have less stuff to haul up the mountain. Thank you for the tour of your kitchen. I like to see how others organize and use their kitchen space which always seems to be less than we think we need.

[@fishwrite3]

Thank you for your videos. How do you get rid of a mother's gift that isn't used?

[@marymack4105]

Great job Ms. Phyllis! You're an inspiration!

[@margaretmojica8190]

I did not know pasta had an expiration date! I looked at my pasta and one of the packages had expired a year-and-a-half ago. A couple of my spices I bought when one of my sons was into making doughnuts, when he was 14, he is 25 now.

[@aliciarogers9753]

I can totally relate! Some of my spices had actual sticker pricing. Now that's embarrassing!

[@lizadele213]

Love the plastic floor runner idea!! also the silverware drawer

[@joaatkinson8526]

You are such an inspiration Phyllis and make we laugh about when the drawer came flying out, I could visualize it very well because it sounds just like something I would do or have done. I can't remember that far back. HaHa How about when you have time to give us another update on the pups and how they are doing, I love watching them and truly love animals, I lost all three of my loveys Bubba Girl, Stinky Girl, and P-Nut in a year and so sad, but I look forward to seeing them again one day at Rainbow Bridge. Sending you love for strength and prayers to God for you and your loved ones.

[@aliwehr]

Good job! It all looks clean, tidy and all the stuff is "findable" LOL I have a glass top stove and I use my cast iron all the time. I pick up the pans when I shake them and try not to move them once they're on the stove. So far, so good. Also, I clean the glass top with Barkeepers' Friend powder. Works real good!

[@darleneklonk9128]

I pray you are doing well Phyllis. I'm just sad I just found your channel a few months ago. It will take me a long time to catch up on your videos. I am ordering y'all's books on Amazon.

[@RainbowRoseConnie]

I love how you organized everything! Gave me some great ideas! About the "expiration dates",,, What most people don't know, is there are NO Standards or regulations for expiration dates. Each manufacturer actually sets their own. So quite often people end up tossing food that is still perfectly good nutritious food. Saying that, yes there are definitely things that do get too old. But is it really interesting what you find out, when researching about "expiration dates" on food. We here in the US waste more food (and other stuff) than most other countries, while we have millions who are starving. :( Also I have been recently learning, when some IS reaching its expiration date,,, (such as canned or frozen foods) most often it can be dehydrated, sealed in a jar/mylar bag and the shelf life is greatly extended as well as cutting down storage space. :) Thank you so much for all of your research and knowledge you share. It is so refreshing to see people still teaching some of the old "basic" ways!

[@rosejackson8670]

[@belleguide684]

I think of storage in terms of CUBIC space. I scotch in extra shelving to store emergency backup supplies for freezing weather or storms. All can be neat. This applies for under sinks too - for extra bandaids in baths or extra cleaning supplies in kitchen. Yes it is good to have gadgets go to good homes, some I keep in containers out on the counters. Group like items in areas where used. Makes life so organized!

[@tinaturnipseed6640]

Love your mom

[@vikkibyington989]

Disorganization and procrastination are my two worst faults. I’m going to redo my kitchen this fall so it will be a good time to downsize. You Rock, Ms. Phyllis.

[@CashAndSpanglish]

Did you say you did the plumbing yourself?? That's awesome!!

[@PhyllisStokes]

Girasol I became a plumber because I got so tired of leaks under sinks in our rental properties and our home. I am not a licensed plumber but I sure can fix a leak, install a commode, kitchen sink, bathroom sink, shower pan and drain, retile a bathroom, unstop a sewage backup. The only thing I can't do is replace pipes that are metal - I'm not strong enough to get them apart. I learned to do all these things because I got very tired of paying a plumber to do what look so simple to me - so I bought some plumbing books at Lowe's and went to work. I bet you didn't expect the long answer?

[@CashAndSpanglish]

I love the long answer!! You are an amazing woman and role model, I am 34 years old and I really look up to you. God bless you a million times over!!!

[@patc.318]

Thanks for another good video, Ms, Phyllis. It's always good to check expiration dates, for sure. I found the best way to prevent any little bugs in pasta, cereal (like oatmeal or cream of wheat), flour or cornmeal is to put the product package in the freezer for 24 to 48 hours when I first get back from the grocery store. That time in the freezer will kill any little bug eggs that may have found their way into the product & packaging at some point during processing. My mother always did that and it works without fail!

[@A10TOES]

Pat-I do the same, but when I stock up on pasta for the winter months, I just store it in the freezer., doesn't hurt a thing. Thats right kills those eggs/bugs thats in the wheat, oats, etc. I also store extra flour in the freezer.

[@dorothykelley1881]

I got rid of my full matching set of dishes and got just 4 non matching plates and bowls that really appealed to me. They are all different but very pretty. And the apple you held up looks like our Macintosh apples (I'm in Canada). They are crisp and good for baking and eating raw.

[@faithdavis7258]

Miss Phyllis---keep those iron skillets and enjoy using them outside on the grill. In a recent storm which caused my electricity to be out for 4 days, I made wonderful meals on the grill using iron skillets---bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, hashbrowns, toast--love iron skillets

I'm a couple of years late in seeing this video. Lol! Now that I've found your channel and enjoy it so much I'm watching ALL your videos! You've inspired me to clean out my kitchen cabinets. Thank you for that! I do have a question though... am I suppose to store my sugars and flour in the fridge or the cabinet? Do you know if it makes a difference. At this point I have some in both places (is why I need to go through it!!). I learn so much from you! Thank you! I hope you'll see this message.

You can keep flour in the refrigerator especially in the summer - this will keep any bug eggs from hatching which a lot of flour contains. I can't see any reason to keep sugar in the refrigerator, it would probably get all hard and full of lumps from the humidity in the refrigerator.

I think Phyllis is referring to my beloved Macintosh apples. They are so versatile and can be used for eating straight from the fridge or cooked pies, crumble, muffins and any other thing you can think of. Enjoy your apples and try them if you haven't 💕
