I'm getting Southern Living again now too (especially since it's cousin, Southern Accents, went bellyup). We can dream a dream about homemade napkin rings. Maybe when the kids are in college, we can make them and sell them to help pay for tuition.

I do the same thing, except with Country Living Magazine. I love looking at their homes and lusting after their perfectly set tables. I just burned a giant patch of paint of the top of my kitchen table. It looks beyond terrible. I'll need a centerpiece that large just to cover my mess!

That cake does look amazing!

I was introduced to Southern Living when I got the 2002 Christmas With Southern Living book as a wedding gift. I have made the New Orleans Double-Chocolate Christmas Praline-Fudge Cake every year since. It is phenomenal. 3-layer Chocolate cake from scratch, chocolate ganache filling and frosting and praline that you pour over the top of the cake and let harden. It is incredible. Take like all day to bake, but it's worth it.

I feel your pain. I want to be so crafty and a good housewife, but...I work. And I go to school. And there are a million other things that must be done -- and every other wife has to deal with a million other things, too. So when do we have time to make cakes that take 3 hours or napkin rings that will take another 3? Sheesh. ;)

I literally laughed out loud when I saw the article on homemade napkin rings. I was like, "Are they kidding? Obviously whoever wrote this doesn't have children."

But - if I didn't have a kid and had money and time on my hands, the napkin rings would be awesome.

Amazing. but ridiculous.
I think Southern Living may have a leg up on Midwest Living.
