Another leftovers hater here. And freezer space isn't sufficient to stock up on leftovers from several days a week. I'd rather make it fresh daily.

I would love to try out tomato jam - anyone have any good recipes they can refer me to?

Take the suggestion of the smoothie with oatmeal above, and make the smoothie the night before. The oatmeal thickens it up nicely.

Made this recently, and it was great -http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2010/12/sardine-linguine-with-sundried-tomatoes-and-olives.html

I've also been incorporating sardines in our meals. It's great plain with pasta, or on a salad as well (serve with some toast).

I'm really keen to make this, but it's going to need some adjustments if I do... I live in South Africa, and I am fairly familiar with the ingredients available here, and I think it is extremely unlikely to find the macapuno coconut strings in heavy syrup or the mochiko sweet rice flour here. Or if I do, it will be a specialty ingredient with a prohibitive cost.

How can I substitute these?

I had to register just to post about the best hot chocolate - my own invention :)
You'll need a double boiler (or, as I do it, a bowl over a pot of boiled water) and a whisk.
Start off with some good quality dark chocolate (I like to go for 85% here), about a teaspoon of sugar (you don't want it too sweet), some cinnamon or chilli or spice of choice if you want (be inventive :)), and a teaspoon of water into the bowl. Let the chocolate melt, and once you can mix it all together, you want to add the liquid. This is where you choose how fattening you want to make this... The least will be full cream milk, but I've made this with a mix of cream and milk, just the cream, and a mix of ice cream and milk when there was no cream...
Add the liquid and whisk whisk whisk, still on the double boiler.
Warning: This hot chocolate is decadent (but not sweet) and can only be drunk in small quantities (unless you're my boyfriend) :D
