Eat This, Drink That: Rosemary Shortbread and Salty Dogs
This month for Eat This, Drink That, we are switching things up! Scout was hankering to make a cocktail, and Zelda was ready to get back to her love of baking, so we decided to pull a blog Freaky Friday and go back to our comfort zones for a post. Scout picked up the shaker,…

Eat This, Drink That: Angel Food Cake and French 75
Most of Scout’s food-based memories come from one of her grandmothers. So when choosing something to make for this month’s Eat This, Drink That, she looked back on all those memories, running from the car as they pulled up to the old A-frame cabin on the lake and sprinting into the long narrow kitchen to find…

Happy New Liver!
Ah New Year’s Eve — a time for reflection, a time for resolution, a time for…inebriation. Some of you may be going out, partying your faces off in some sticky-floored bar, hoping to smush faces with a special someone (or just a someone) when the clock strikes 12. If you’re like Scout, you will avoid…

Have Yourself a Merry Cherry Christmas
The holidays are a time for being with one’s loved ones, for giving gifts and giving thanks, and for feasting on seasonal favorites. I’m a compulsive baker all year round, but I get particularly antsy for something sugary and flour dusted come December, spending each weekend searching for a project in the festive vein. And…

Gettin’ Our Pumpkin (Chiff)on
My family is big on traditions. From the stories we tell around the dinner table to the music we play while laying out the Christmas ornaments to the specific phrasing we use to say goodnight, we like things done a certain way, over and over again, until the end of time (usually followed by my…
