There’s a wonderful seasoning I’m looking for, and it’s called Vegeta. I have looked and looked locally to no avail. I would so appreciate it if you could please track this down for me. Thank you. Jan Smith, email

I would like to find, in the Atlanta area, Steen’s 100% Pure Cane Syrup. I have searched many local supermarket locations but have been unsuccessful in locating it. Steen’s Pure Cane Syrup can be purchased online, but the shipping cost is too expensive. As a child, I would enjoy this syrup on pancakes and with biscuits. Please help me locate this very delicious and flavorful syrup. Thank you. Sally Franklin, email

I have some dining room chairs that have a cane backing which is showing signs of wear. The set is in otherwise good condition, so I would love to get the backs redone. Can you help me find a place in the Atlanta area to get this done? Also, would love to get the seats reupholstered as well. Thank you. Debbie Simpson, Lawrenceville
