Q: I was given a jar of the most delicious orange marmalade, a product of France. When I had eaten it all, I tried to reorder by using the email address on the label. The company no longer sells to individuals. Would you please tell me where I might buy St. Dalfour orange marmalade? Thank you. — Glen Avant, Decatur
A: Glen, you’ll be pleased to know that your French marmalade is available down the street from you — literally. Made from 100-percent fruit, without any high fructose corn syrup or other ingredients to get in the way of the bright orange flavor, St. Dalfour, in the skinny 10-ounce jar with the pretty blue-and-white label, sells for $4.39 at Whole Foods, 650 Ponce de Leon Ave., Atlanta, 404-853-1681. You’ll find it with the other jams and jellies in the tea and coffee aisle.
Q: I'm trying to find a local source for La Chinata smoked paprika in both the mild and hot flavors. I can find it online through various sites, but I really would prefer to purchase it in the Atlanta area. I hope you can help me. — George Taylor, Atlanta
A: La Chinata, an aromatic smoked paprika that hails from Spain, is one of those in-your-face seasonings that pretty much perks up a range of dishes from paella to marinated meats and seafood. You’ll find red tins of La Chinata holding about 4 ounces of smoked paprika in either sweet or hot for $3.39 at Your DeKalb Farmers Market, 3000 E. Ponce de Leon Ave., Decatur, 404-377-6400.
Q: My wife has lost some weight and can't seem to put it back on. She was slim and now she is slimmer. The ladies Dockers always seemed to fit her but they are getting harder and harder to find. She needs some help. Thanks. — Ray Temple, Johns Creek
A: I found Dockers for women at Kohl’s, 13097 Highway, 9, Milton, 678-624-0164. While the store doesn’t carry as many styles in spring and summer as it does in cooler months, it does currently stock several styles of Dockers slacks for women. Sizes start at 4, and prices range from $31.99 to $34.99.
Q: Please tell me where I can purchase the Thanksgiving Pilgrim salt and pepper shakers online that Publix used to sell. I've looked all over. I want to get them for my daughter. Thank you. — Rose Mazur, email
A: The Publix television ad that animated the quaint Pilgrim couple made these Thanksgiving salt and pepper shakers popular holiday items. Unfortunately, according to Publix, the Pilgrims "have been retired." The good news is that you're requesting the shakers off-season, if you will, giving you a much better chance of snatching one of these sets out of retirement before everyone else has the same idea come November. You'll find them listed as The Pilgrim Pair, encore edition animated salt and pepper shakers from the Publix television commercial at www.amazon.com. Take a look at the section below the main price and you'll find a small link that takes you to more buying choices that let you know how many new and used sets are available for much less than the featured price.
