Zelda’s Holiday Gift Guide 2017
Some call it the most wonderful time of the year. Others call it a commercialized, expensive anxiety dream masquerading as fun. I most definitely fall into the former, but I can understand the concerns of my friends in column number two. Gifting can be stressful! There’s a lot of pressure to find the perfect something…

Early Winter Playlist 2017: Holly Jolly
Sleigh bells ringing, lords a’leaping, dreidels spinning, candles glowing: The holiday season is full of magic and light. But our absolute favorite part may just be the music. We count down the days until that magical Friday in November when, Thanksgiving safely stowed away until next year, we can let our festive flags fly. It’s…

Friendsgiving: A Guide
It’s almost Thanksgiving, the time when we all — in the United States, at least — take a quick sojourn from the everyday to feast with family and celebrate what we are thankful for in our lives. But before the family celebrations, there is Friendsgiving, the holiday sensation that’s sweeping the nation (Seth Cohen is…

Late Autumn 2017: Spook
We both have a soft spot for Halloween, and all things spooky. (Except horror movies: We do NOT like horror movies. Witches, curses, ghosts, all great, but you can keep your jump scares and gore to yourself, thanks.) We love tales of vampire slayers and charmed ones, murder mysteries and sister witches, demogorgons and pumpkin…

Hey y’all. So this week was supposed to bring you another installment of All the Fixin’s, the series where we cook our way through our respective Southern heritages.

A Short History of the Mint Julep
The first week of May has us here at Zelda & Scout in intense party prep mode. This Saturday, we dust off our wide-brim hats and our fascinators, and pull out our many years’ worth of glassware, and make some probably-less-than-stellar decisions regarding both gambling and inebriation. Because the first Saturday in May brings the…

Late Spring 2017 Playlist: Call to the Post
It’s our favorite time of year y’all. Winter has finally ceded the reins to Spring, flowers are blooming, and it’s time for the most decadent and depraved event in all of the South. Dust off your seersucker and unpack your fancy hat, it’s Derby Time! Now, as we reiterate each year around this time, while…

Making Matzah You Want to Eat
It’s that time of year again! My favorite Jewish holiday is upon us. Yes, Passover is here, and along with all my favorite things — gathering around the table with friends, drinking wine, and opening doors for invisible guests — it also means eight days without the comfort of leavened carbs. If you know me,…
