I'd like the lemon bread recipe from the Black Cat in Belleair. Thank you.

JoEllen Snavely of St. Pete Beach shares a lemon bread recipe from the 1976 Junior League of Milwaukee's Be Our Guest cookbook. She's correct when she writes that it makes a light, moist cakelike bread. Hopefully it will remind Caroline of the one at the Black Cat, which has been closed for years. If you like lemon you'll really enjoy this bread, as it bursts with flavor, like a taste of summer. The sugar glaze is almost like a lemony sweet crust on the bread. It melts in your mouth. I did not have a true 9- by 5-inch loaf pan. Mine is slightly larger at 9 ½ by 5 ½. I still baked it for 1 hour and it was fine. This would be nice with tea or served alongside a main-dish salad. It would also be nice with a powdered sugar glaze.
Recipe request
Richard Ulrich of St. Petersburg fondly remembers the coconut mango salad dressing at the now closed Key West Grill in Clearwater. I've seen many requests over the years for this delicious dressing, but I've never received a response. Hopefully this time will be different.
