Q: My grandmother always used zwieback for her cheesecake crust. I'm having a hard time finding the product anymore. It used to be with the baby foods, but apparently it's been replaced with updated foods. I'd love to make that cheesecake for my family. Any chance a store in the area might have it? Thanks. — Christy Waehner, Atlanta
A: While a lot of cheesecakes, especially those of German origin, were prepared with a crunchy zwieback crust, this slightly sweet, twice-baked toast was originally marketed as teething biscuits for babies. Also known as rusks, the toast is now pretty difficult to find, but not impossible. You’ll be making that cherished cheesecake in no time. I found Brandt zwieback for $2.99 per package at Cost Plus World Market, 4733 Ashford Dunwoody Road, Dunwoody, 678-731-0014. Look for the orange-and-white package with the picture of a smiling toddler on the front.
Q: I have two cameras that have the capability to take panoramic photos. One of the cameras is digital, and the other one uses 35 mm film. I have been unable to find a processor with this capability to print these photos. Can you help me find one? — Joe Sarsfield, Kennesaw
A: Well, Joe, you’re asking for a service that’s pretty much a dinosaur among professions these days. The world has gone digital, and anyone still using film, or who happens to have some undeveloped photos lying around needs to find a place to get them processed, pronto. Fortunately, I found one of the last photo labs in the area that will process your film. And you can feel secure because I heard from several other labs that this is where they send film to get processed. Check out Dunwoody Photo, 5588 Chamblee Dunwoody Road, Dunwoody, 678-320-0202. Prints that measure 3.5 inches by 10 inches cost about 50 cents each.
Q: I fell in love with Indiana Cinnamon Sugar Kettlecorn after buying a bag by mistake during a Walgreens promotion. Since that one bag, I have been frustrated to find that this flavor is not regularly stocked anywhere in my area. Once I found a bag at another Walgreens, and once at Publix, but upon talking with management in both stores, I found that the product was only available by chance. No one seems to be able to order a specific flavor, only the brand. Can you help me find somewhere that has it available consistently? The popcorn is for sale on the Indiana Popcorn website, but at almost $7 per bag, it is a luxury I cannot afford. Please let me know soon. — Michelle D'Souza, email
A: Happy to reunite you with your favorite snack. You’ll find 9.2-ounce bags of Indiana Cinnamon Sugar Kettlecorn for $2.58 each at Walmart, 5455 Atlanta Highway, Alpharetta, 770-475-4101. You’ll find them in the chip aisle. I checked with other stores that were supposed to stock the popcorn, and they didn’t have any, so when you find it, you might want to stock up.
Q: I really enjoy reading your column each Sunday and would love it if you could find Liiv Botanicals Moisture Boosting Body Butter for me. It was an Avon product that was discontinued, and it was really good. I looked online but was unable to come up with this particular jar. The one I have is a 6.7-ounce jar and it's almost gone. I tried Avon, but no luck. I really appreciate anything you can do. This is an excellent product. Thank you so much. — Elaine Lankfore, Clarkdale
A: Elaine, sometimes it’s almost impossible to dig up a discontinued product once the supply has run dry. However, the last hope for those seeking an item that is no longer produced often is www.ebay.com, which is exactly where I found 6.7-ounce jars of Avon Liiv Botanicals Moisture Boosting Body Butter.
