somebody stop me

Oh my god, I should not be turned loose in the sandwich-fixings aisle.  I will just keep. buying. jam.

Today:  Grape jam (which [livejournal.com profile] ellen_fremedon explained how it's different from grape jelly, and the difference makes sense of why I like it better), red plum jam, mango jam (!), peach preserves, blueberry preserves, and the old standby red raspberry preserves on account of I'm out of that here at home.  I stopped myself getting apple jelly (v. mild flavor likely to make it less interesting -- though I may overrule myself on this), apricot preserves (v. similar to peach), mint and red pepper and other sorts of jellies (not cooking meat dishes on which to put them), and blackberry jam (b/c it was only available seedless, which offends my sensibilities [though I understand some people have legitimate reasons for going that way]).  In my defense, these are for stirring into yogurt as well as putting on sandwiches, but still.  I think I may have a fixation.

Dude

I totally empathize. When I travel the thing I am most likely to bring back is a bottle of jam. I have fig jam from Jordan, rose jam from Germany. Not to mention how I went to Wegman's and bought three bottles of their three fruit jams. J has forbidden me to buy more, as we have about five bottles in the 'fridge and ten more in the pantry.
