Q: I have a pair of suede boots that need cleaning, and heard that Sof Sole cleaner works really well. I’ve looked around but can’t find this product. I need your help. — Susie Phillips, Roswell
A: You can’t miss Sof Sole suede and nubuck cleaner that comes in the bold black-and-orange 5-ounce can with the vivid brush on the lid. Sof Sole is available at DSW, 7361 North Point Parkway, Alpharetta, 770-998-7930. Each can costs $3.95.
Q: Please tell me where I can find the original Sea Breeze astringent. I have oily skin and when I used Sea Breeze many years ago, it helped tremendously. All I can find is the blue Sea Breeze for sensitive skin, and that’s not what I need. Can you find it in Atlanta for me, please? Or has this product been discontinued? Thank you. — Roland Johnston, email
A: While Sea Breeze now makes a blue astringent for sensitive skin, the original version is still available. Formulated with alcohol, camphor, peppermint and clove oils, original Sea Breeze strips your skin of its natural oil, temporarily eliminating that annoying shine you get with oily skin. You can find the original Sea Breeze in a 12-ounce bottle for $5.95, or a quart for $11.95, at Atlanta Barber and Beauty Supply, 186 Mitchell St., Atlanta, 404-522-8787.
Q: I want to find a pickled brisket, but not a whole brisket. I’m not familiar with this cut, so maybe you can help me out. Thanks. — Gloria Fields, Atlanta
A: Gloria, while a whole brisket can weigh in at around 10 pounds, a second cut with a little bit of the deckle (a flap of meat) left on will top out at about 6 pounds. This cut contains more fat than the first cut, but it’s also considered the more flavorful piece of beef. You can find pickled brisket for $10.99 per pound at the Kosher Gourmet, 2153 Briarcliff Road, Atlanta, 404-636-1114.
Q: My friends and I are huge fans of the lap-size bamboo trays. These trays used to be readily available at Pier 1 Imports and a few other stores for around $5 to $7. The employees at Pier 1 are also baffled as to why this top-selling item is no longer available there. After searching unsuccessfully both around Atlanta and online, we are turning to you for advice as to where we can restock our supplies. Many thanks for your help! — Kate Evans, Atlanta
A: I’m not sure what was baffling to the Pier 1 employee you spoke with because I found the trays on the company website, and when I called one of the stores, I was told that there were some of the bamboo trays in stock. In fact, they’re on sale for $7.96 each through March 2. You’ll find your trays at Pier 1 Imports, 1544 Piedmont Ave. Atlanta, 404-881-6549. Happy restocking.
