Tortoise and the Hare

Tonight while finishing making a quick batch of cookies in order to use up some of the extra dough I had from this past weekend's projects I was reminded of an old fable I heard as a child that I should have taken into consideration while making my cookies.  This fable is the story of the Tortoise and the Hare.  As with anything someone is attempting to make money at speed is key, and I've really been trying to cut down on my production time, however as I witnessed tonight sometimes "Slow and Steady wins the race."  Just as I was setting the cookies down to take pictures of what I had accomplished, I got myself into too much of a hurry and didn't take the precautions I normally do and I flipped the basket.  Its fall caused me to blotch up some of my cookies and seriously ruined the "O" in the NOEL.  As you'll see in the pictures below the "O" looks a little out of place.  However I still wanted to include the basket and NEL just didn't make sense : )  Lesson hopefully learned!!!!
