Last week I made those napkin rings for Kim Kushner's cooking event, and planned on posting this recipe from her demonstration last friday. But I had no wifi over the weekend, and so here it is.

On one hand, once you post something, people copy it, pin it and it's old news within a few weeks (at least within the design blogging world).
