Last Saturday, Macrine's sister, Jean Maeda, visited us and brought
with her starbread. Macrine and I enjoyed it very much, so I started
searching in the Internet for the bakery near us. I found that there is a
bakery in Natomas and also in Mack Rd in Elk Grove. Both bakeries are
about 30-40 minutes driving distance from our residence. I am wondering
if there is one in the Roseville area.
I have heard of this sweet rolls, but this is the first time I have tasted it! Yum, Yum!
The
next morning I woke up at 8:30AM and made the coffee. I started reading
my FB page until 9AM. When I walk to the kitchen, I was surprise to
see a dozen still warm starbread in our kitchen table. It was not there
at 8:30AM.
I thought my son must have purchased it
after his work shift ( he comes home at 1AM after his night shift as TSA
officer). I woke him up and she told me, Jean( temporarily staying in
Roseville at her daugther residence) drop by the house at 9AM with the
starbread and siopao. I must be so engrossed reading and updating my
blogs, I did not hear the doorbell. Anyway, thanks a million again, Jean
for the delicious sweet rolls. Your Manang and I enjoyed it very much.
Here's a short paragraph from the website of starbread:
Señorita rolls ( Starbread)were first baked in a humble store in Vallejo
California all the way back in 1988 by Auntie Nelly, Uncle Romy Maranan
and their five children. It was not easy for them to raise five
children and simultaneously run their bakeshop. However people were
continuously drawn to the shop and the baked goods. Soon everyone in
Vallejo was drawn to the sweet little rolls.

Incidentally the flowers above and below were another surprised and unexpected gift from our
neighbor, Lina Edison. Last week was full of surprises. Thank you Lord
for a thoughtful relative and a neighbor.
