Grape Jelly OR Orange Marmalade OR Strawberry Jam?
Orange marmalade, hands down. I really love the contrasting texture of the "jelly" part vs. the orange peel.

Cooking for the Pope: Lidia Bastianich Comes Full Circle
What a great story! I can only imagine how nerve-wracking that must've been. That beef goulash sounds amazing!
I giggled when I read "the pope's entourage"--I imagined one of those Hollywood kinds of entourages--dark suits, sunglasses, the works...traveling around in a black SUV with tinted windows!

Oh, those are gorgeous. I mean, I get cheap plates from Ikea for not much more than 66 cents--but they're definitely not as nice. :)
P.S. I am such a fan of your blog, Robyn! You are absolutely hilarious and your pictures are awesome.

Ellen Degeneres. We'd eat fried chicken, or maybe corn dogs. Something fun and casual. I don't see Ellen as the haute cuisine type!

What's Your Take on Cake Ice Cream?
Yuck! I used to work at a Carvel and we had Cake Batter ice cream. I never understood why it was so popular. I prefer fruity kinds of ice cream--strawberry, peach, etc.
Cook the Book: The Cornbread Gospels
My school's dining hall, seriously! The dining hall serves lukewarm boiled carrots, holds "Macaroni Weeks" (Monday is macaroni and cheese, Tuesday is macaroni salad, Wednesday is macaroni soup...you get the idea), and is just pretty much atrocious...but they make some mean cornbread. It's pretty funny to see a whole bunch of pimply, stressed-out, sexually-repressed college students line up for cornbread!

What's Your Take on Cake Ice Cream?
I hate the cake batter flavor...too sweet and artificial, as everyone else seems to think. And I'm mad at B&J's...my favorite flavor (Coconut Almond Fudge Chip) can only be had at the scoop shops now, not in the grocery store. I hope it's not going the way of the dinosaur...
Grape Jelly OR Orange Marmalade OR Strawberry Jam?
If it has to be one of those three then I choose orange marmalade and I love the orange marmalade made with seville oranges.
But I also love blackberry (my favorite berry) and has anyone ever had those incredible cherry preserves from Greece. I think they are made with the sour cherries and are just wonderful. As for texture, I have always loved the preserves the most with jam as second choice and jelly as my last choice.
Grape Jelly OR Orange Marmalade OR Strawberry Jam?
Grape jelly with smoked sausages in a slow cooker is really good. Someone made that at a party once. I couldn't believe you could cook with grape jelly.
I love orange marmalade, but from only one brand from Denmark. I can never remember the name of the company, but recognize it when I see it.
Guess I'll go with the marmalade.
Grape Jelly OR Orange Marmalade OR Strawberry Jam?
Oh man...if I was eating it by itself, I'd go orange marmalade, BUT since I know my habits and what I use most on sandwiches or matzo brie or the like...I'm going to have to go with:
Grape Jelly.

Grape Jelly OR Orange Marmalade OR Strawberry Jam?
Sorry Perky-not a hard one for me. Strawberry Jam rules! But not chunky though. I've noticed that Jam has chuncks of fruit in it. Ummm, no. That's a deal breaker. Smooth please.
I have never liked jelly-consistency creeped me out.
Marmalade = YUCK. Everything about it is odd-including the taste.
PS. I want some homemade strawberry jam...
Grape Jelly OR Orange Marmalade OR Strawberry Jam?
CookiePie........I'll give dispensations, only if those who request them will send me their other favorites. In your case, (hmmmm.....case!), you can send me a CASE of sour cherry preserves and throw in an additional case of almond butter since you made me desire it, too. Yeah, that seems fair, eh? heh heh (evil laugh).
Grape Jelly OR Orange Marmalade OR Strawberry Jam?
Perky - I never knew you could be so cruel!! I'll pick strawberry, but can I have the occasional orange marmalade for good behavior??
Friends of mine who visit from Ireland always go back with vats and vats of Welch's grape jelly -- they LOVE it and can't get it there. So funny.
But I would give it all up for sour cherry preserves! It's perfect because it has the sweet and tart, like marmalade, but it goes really well on PB or almond butter sandwiches, and you can food-process it and spread it between cake layers too.
