All the Fixin’s: Root and Sausage Pie
Well, friends, we went full autumn for this one. The days are officially short, the air is crisp, and winter vegetables are fully in season. So we reached into Ronni Lundy’s Appalachian cookbook, Victuals, and came up with this recipe, which seemed perfectly suited to a November afternoon. In the past we’ve had a bit of difficulty…

The Legacy of Witches
Happy Halloween, dear readers. I love the spooky season: the shortening of days, the overcast skies, the crisp chilly air that curls around boot-clad feet as they crunch over leaves. I revel in the crackle in the air that demarcates October from the rest of the months. I think deep down we all do…deep down…

Fall 2018 Playlist: Nora Ephron Goals
Don’t you just love New York in the fall? We ran away to Zelda’s home away from home in New Hampshire last weekend — an all-too brief jaunt but one that was full of both peak foliage and peak cozy. It was hard to tear ourselves away, but we were thrilled to find that autumn…

Please, Just Vote
So it’s been a harrowing week (month…year…years) in America and the world. We are lucky enough to live lives of privilege. And with that privilege, comes a responsibility to speak up and protest and give money and give time and amplify those voices that aren’t usually heard. And, most importantly, we can vote. There are…

All the Fixin’s: Biscuit Muffins
Autumn is officially upon us, which means we can finally turn our ovens back on! Zelda in particular is very excited for all the baking adventures this season holds (on her to-do list so far: homemade bread, jam, and a roast chicken that would make Julia Child proud). For our first foray back into the…

Summer Vacation
Dear readers, We have come once again to that moment in the year when we pause and step away from this here blog for a breather, taking stock of how far we’ve come and envisioning where we want to go next. This August will mark the fourth birthday of Zelda and Scout — four years…

Frozen Bourbon Milk Punch
If we were abiding by our regularly scheduled programming, this week would have been another entry in our series “All the Fixin’s.” So Zelda dutifully pulled out her Paul Prudhomme, in search of a recipe we could make and they all just sounded so…hot. The swelter is real, y’all, and as we looked at the…

Early Summer 2018 Playlist: This is My Throwback Song
It may not be Thursday, but we’re throwing it back with the early summer playlist. The heat and humidity always take us back to driving by the Ohio River with our windows down, belting whatever was on the radio at the top of our lungs or jamming out to a carefully burned CD from a…

Late Spring Playlist 2018: Derby Hangover
Getting back into the swing of real life after the Kentucky Derby is a little bit difficult, we’re not gonna lie. This last week back in New York felt longer than most, and we’re still struggling with not being able to spend all our free Saturdays sipping mint juleps in the sun (or, in our…
