Bob Rose, a 35-year resident of Ceres now living in Turlock, was named a 2022 “Legend of the Cruise” and his name placed on the Modesto Historic Cruise Route and Walk of Fame during Wednesday’s Graffiti event in front of the Tenth Street Plaza in Modesto.

Rose, a 1973 Downey High School graduate, has been a car enthusiast since a teen watching his father work on cars. He accepted the award and said it was a big honor.

“I just kind of fell in love with cars,” said Rose, who lived in Ceres from 1979 to 2014. “I built my first car at 22 years old. I’ve had several of them, I’m building one right now. I’m in between stages right now.”

in Around California/Events

It all started with Marilyn Monroe.

Well, it actually started in the late 1800s when Italian immigrants brought a strange Sicilian plant with spiky edible buds with them to California’s Central Coast. But as stories go, Marilyn Monroe isn’t a bad place to start.

In 1948, a still not-that-famous Monroe traveled to Monterey Bay to do a paid appearance at a jewelry store, according to Carmel Magazine, and ended up agreeing to be crowned California’s Artichoke Queen.

Sugar Bowl Bakery Madeleines Inspire A Twist On Summer Shortcake

in Food/Food & Drinks

If you are a lover of French Madeleines, you may know Sugar Bowl Bakery. Sugar Bowl bakes five-million madeleines a day in their California and Georgia facilities, and ships them across the USA. I love the classic vanilla recipe with just a hint of lemon flavor.

But if you like flavors, they also make seasonal variations like pumpkin spice in the fall and lemon in the spring and the exotic summer guava madeleines.

Guava may sound like an unusual flavor choice but if you know the family behind Sugar Bowl Bakery, it makes sense. As Kevin Ly, pastry chef and director of research and development told me, “they have always been about quality ingredients, consistency and listening to both their wholesale and retail customers.” Their Pacific Northwest customers asked them to create a guava flavor because it has become so popular, and they worked it into their seasonal/summer madeleine line.

This is the list that, after having covered California travel, nature and culture for more than 30 years, I find myself reciting most often.
