Boy, I've never heard the word VOLTEFACE...15:26<br />Boy, I've never heard the word VOLTEFACE before in my life, and now twice in one week. It was used by Mrs. Crawley in the Downton Abbey finale, and at the time I knew that it sounded French, but I didn't know what it was. It was only after discussing the word with Frannie (who knew it) that the connection was made. Also, Frannie's knowledge of it, and its use on DA, lead me to believe that although it sounds French, it might get more use in England. .... anyway, I'll let that go now.<br /><br />And furthermore, I think of jelly as clear, and jam and preserves as thicker, unclear, and often with seeds. That's my take on it.<br /><br />So finally, yes, I agree that this had lots of good fill, but I wonder how I could have missed both the '75 and the '00 versions of LADYMARMALADE? Oh wait.. check that, reverse it. I just looked it up and I know both the Patti Labelle version and the one from Moulin Rouge.
