Q: I tried some salsa in a jar that I actually liked, which is unusual for me. It’s called Mateo’s hot salsa. I would really appreciate it if you could find this for me. It’s so good. Thanks. Will Jackson, Atlanta
A: Mateo’s Gourmet Salsa is an all-natural product that, according to the manufacturer, offers a restaurant-quality salsa in a jar. Flavors include mild, hot, salsa verde, habanero hot and hatch chile. You’ll find 16-ounce jars of Mateo’s Gourmet Salsa for $3.99 at Publix, 104 Town Blvd., Brookhaven, 404-233-7475.
Q: I’m a recent transplant to the Marietta area and am looking to find an outlet for house-smoked fish. I’ve tried some from grocery stores, but they’re not very satisfactory. I’ve thought about getting a smoker and smoking my own, but I really don’t have the time for that. Help, please. C. Mendoza, email
A: You’re in luck because there’s a popular European meat market nearby where you’ll find a wealth of house-smoked fish and meats, including salmon, trout, slab bacon, chicken, beef tongue and ham. Check out Patak Meat Products, 4107 Ewing Road, Austell, 770-941-7993. Smoked salmon and trout are priced at $9.99 per pound.
Q: Recently, I read about a new lip gloss that I can’t find, except online, and I don’t want to have to order it without seeing the colors. Please tell me where to find Pixi Gel Tint & Silk Gloss. These look terrific and I really want to try them. Thanks. Sue Clark, email
A: Gel Tint & Silk Gloss, $12, is a new product from Pixi Beauty that combines two products — lip gloss and lip stain — in one tube. The reason you’re not finding it is because Gel Tint & Silk Gloss isn’t scheduled to hit most Target stores until January.
Q: I’m trying to find a stove-top griddle that’s pre-seasoned and sits on two burners. The one I want is also a ribbed grill. The brand is Artisanal Kitchen. I don’t want to order it because it’s heavy and would cost too much to ship. I’m up in the Cumming area. Thanks. Chris Mason, email
A: Artisanal Kitchen Supply makes a cast iron grill that measures 20 by 10 inches. It has two plates, one that’s a flat griddle and the other is grooved to grill. It’s also oven safe up to 500 degrees. The grill comes pre-seasoned and easily sits on double burners. You’ll find it at Bed Bath and Beyond, 3675 Satellite Blvd., Duluth, 770-495-8255. It sells for $49.99.
