Bran and Honey Rye Breadsticks

Yield: Makes 24 breadsticks

Ingredients:

1package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast

1teaspoon sugar

1-1/2cups warm water (110°F)

Stir in rye flour, bran cereal and 2 cups all-purpose flour or enough to make moderately stiff dough.2.Turn out onto lightly floured surface. Knead about 10 minutes adding enough remaining flour to make a smooth and elastic dough. Place in greased bowl; turn over to grease surface. Cover with damp cloth; let rise in warm place 40 to 45 minutes or until doubled in bulk.3.Spray 2 Baking sheets with nonstick Cooking spray. Punch dough down. Divide into 24 equal pieces on lightly floured surface. Roll each piece into an 8-inch rope. Place on prepared Baking sheets. Cover and let rise in warm place 30 to 35 minutes or until doubled in bulk.4.Preheat oven to 375°F. Brush breadsticks with milk. Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until breadsticks are golden brown.

Herschel family (sh)

Family of British astronomers.

The German-born William Herschel (1738-1822) immigrated to England in 1757 and initially supported himself through Music. In order to study distant celestial objects, he ground his own mirrors, producing the best telescopes of the day. His discovery of Uranus catapulted him to fame at age 43. He hypothesized that nebulae (those objects now known to be galaxies) are composed of stars and developed a theory of stellar evolution. He also discovered infrared radiation. He was knighted in 1816. His sister, Caroline Lucretia Herschel (1750-1848), contributed to her brother's researches, carrying out many of the necessary calculations. She also detected by telescope three nebulae and eight comets. In 1787 the king gave her an annual pension in recognition of her work. She continued to work for decades after William's death. William's son John (1792-1871) studied mathematics at the University of Cambridge and from 1816 assisted his father. He later undertook a journey to the Southern Hemisphere to survey its skies; he returned in 1838, having recorded the locations of 68,948 stars. Also an accomplished chemist, he invented (independently of William Henry Fox Talbot) the process of Photography on sensitized paper. He was knighted in 1831. His sons Alexander Stewart (1836-1907) and John (1837-1921) also became astronomers.
