Early Spring Playlist 2019: Snow Day
We’re baaaaaack…and we’re sorry. 2019 has gotten off to a slow start for us. We’re balancing this project that we started when we both had part-time jobs with real actual adult lives, full of work stuff and medical stuff and life stuff. So sometimes we need to put things on the back burner. But we…

How to Make a Hot Brown
It’s T-minus 2 days until we leave for the homeland on the great pilgrimage to Derby. But before we pack up our hat boxes and head southward for that storied race, we wanted to tackle a classic Kentucky recipe: The Hot Brown.

Early Spring 2018 Playlist: Wild Flowers
It has technically been spring for two weeks now, but here in New York City, you wouldn’t know it. On the Monday morning when we compiled this playlist, snow was falling outside our windows — big fat flakes that covered the ground, coated the trees, made fluffy hats for the trash cans…and then melted within…

Where did this past month go,…

Eat This, Drink That: Bourbon Ball Cupcakes and Lillies For Fillies
As is customary come April here on Zelda & Scout (and in our lives in general), we have entered full-on Derby mode. Now we’ve already visited the two biggest culinary traditions of Derby (aka juleps and pie) on the blog, but there are still plenty of thematic treats left to share with you! On the…

Look Up
“When this old world starts getting me down, and people are just too much for me to face, I climb way up to the top of the stairs, and all my cares just drift right into space…” — Gerry Goffin and Carole King, “Up on the Roof“ I’ve been spending a lot of time on…

March Round Up
Oh March, you topsy turvy month of lions and lambs, sunshine and snow, steaming hot lattes and iced coffee on the rocks, you really took us for a roller coaster ride. We’ve been busy of late — with work, with friends, with life — and your ups and downs left us feeling discombobulated at times,…

Eat This, Drink That: Benedictine and Bee’s Knees
The weather has finally warmed up here in the city, and we are SO EXCITED. Accordingly, for this month’s Eat This, Drink That, we decided to fully embrace the impending blooming season and cook up some food and drink to refresh and renew us with the flavors of spring. On the food side, we’re running…
