  • October Playlist: Darker Than a Georgia Night With a Heavy Heart

    October Playlist: Darker Than a Georgia Night With a Heavy Heart

    We love October — the leaves crunching beneath our feet, the crisp air, the lattes, the onset of sweater weather. But our favorite bit of October? Halloween. October is the month of ghosts, of witches, of deals with the devil. The South in particular has a history with haunting, and so our soundtrack to this…

  • September Round Up

    September Round Up

    Where oh where did September go? In a swelter of lingering summer, the weeks have positively flown by, and now we find ourselves facing down October and all the leaf crunching, hot coffee drinking, and birthday celebrating (for Scout) it entails. This month was all about settling in for us. Zelda got (mostly) unpacked and…

    Eat This, Drink That: Cobbler and Old Fashioneds

    Our lives have been increasingly busy as of late. Zelda is settling into a new home with new roommates and a new commute. Scout is settling into a new (additional) job and juggling three side projects. So we have to schedule our lives pretty far in advance, including our Eat This, Drink That cooking ventures.…

  • In a Minute There is Time

    In a Minute There is Time

    The lingering heat of summer has our brains all fuzzy. The thoughts we reach for seem to crumble just out of our grasp, drifting away like so many bits of dandelion fluff before we can pin them down into something tangible. Everything moves a little slower when the mercury climbs above 90, including our brains.…

  • September Playlist: Indian Summer

    September Playlist: Indian Summer

    Last week we turned the page on the calendar with eager fingers. Fall has always been our favorite season, and September promised changing leaves and the first hints of a drop in the mercury, the air crisp with possibility. Mother Nature, however, does not seem to have gotten the memo. We went to sleep with…

    Looks Like We Made It

    Greetings, internet darlings! Today is a very special day. After 52 weeks, 160 posts, and endless cups of coffee, we are celebrating our blog’s 1st birthday! (Ok, technically we don’t turn one until the 18th, but patience has never been our strong suit.) We have so loved being a part of your lives over the…

  • Eat This, Drink That: White Chili and an Alabama Blizzard

    Eat This, Drink That: White Chili and an Alabama Blizzard

    As we approach the one-year mark of this here blog, we’ve challenged ourselves more and more. Zelda’s hard at work on her 15 New Things, and Scout’s attempting to conquer the kitchen. This is the love child of those two quests, a little series we call, Eat This, Drink That! Last time, armed with a recipe from Zelda’s mother,…

    August Playlist: Change is Gonna Come

    Oh man, guys. This month is a lot. Zelda moved to a new hood, Scout got a new roommate and continues to search for new employment, and it feels like pretty much everything in our lives in in limbo at the moment. So what do we do in times of uncertainty, when we find ourselves…

  • Lights in August

    Lights in August

    A new month brings many new beginnings here at Zelda and Scout. Zelda has bid farewell to our beloved Bushwick and started a new chapter in Crown Heights. Scout is adding a new roomie (and her puppy!) to the mix. And as we approach this blog’s first birthday, we’re spending a lot of time thinking…
