@KaityB - Regarding the soy issue, I think that the issue with soy (contains compounds similar to estrogen) would only pertain to the tofu. Fermented soy products (i.e. Miso) seem to be in the clear. FWIW

I noticed that Greenpa has a wax-paper free method of ironing leaves that seems to work well: http://littlebloginthebigwoods.blogspot.com/2010/10/sunrise-sunset.html

last summer I had a ton of ripe habaneros. I blackened them out on the grill and threw them in the freezer in ziplocks. I have been so happy to have a good habanero supply all year!

As others have noted, this is Ajvar. In fact, the jars used to say Ajvar on them. A while back they took off the name, but the rest of the packaging on the jar, and the recipe stayed the same. It is fantastic with grilled meats and pita served with tsaziki or other cucumber/yogurt sauce. Yum!

Big bowl of popcorn with Parmesan cheese and an obscene amount of siracha sauce. Drizzle siracha slowly whilst tossing popcorn for even coverage. ;)

EDIT- above comment. oops, it did mention canning, but not the time etc. I think I confused it with one of the other recipes. Any expert canners out there with an opinion?

I made the onion rosemary confittura and it was indeed superb. I have heard cautions about canning anything that contains fat, so I used freezer-canning jars and froze them. It also made me nervous that the source blog didn't mention canning directions.

The Post Office can never seem to match my billing address on any of my credit cards in order to process a change of address online or over the phone. Does this happen to anyone else? What is it about their system that can't match my address, when every other company on earth has no problem??

It's not hard to believe they're going bankrupt.
