Sweet And Savory Bacon Breadsticks

If light reading is our passion, then Owen’s prose style is not for us. His paragraphs are tightly packed; his thoughts demanding. His analysis of the heart cannot be skimmed quickly. But in our age of constant and instant upgrade to faster models, this is exactly what many of us need: a slow read, a careful application- allowing ourselves to feel the wounds made by Owen’s sensitive eye surgery, and, as a result, discovering that we see our God more clearly, that we love His Son more fully and serve Him in the power of the Spirit more thoroughly. If this is what we need - as it surely is - Owen, though dead, still speaks, and in providence of God is still there to help and guide us.

INSTRUCTIONS

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with aluminum

generously sprinkle with  cayenne. Roll each bacon-wrapped breadstick
in sugar to coat, pressing  sugar mixture to bacon as you roll. Place

containers. Should be  made 1 hour and up to 8 hours in advance.
Notes: At the Association of Food Journalists conference in
Washington, we were taken to the Cannon Office Building, which holds
offices for the House of Representatives, for an afternoon of
seminars. The buffet lunch in the ornate dining room included these
clever breadsticks from a caterer, Becky Hamill & Co. The breadsticks
get soft while baking, but they crisp back up as they cool.  Recipe by:
