Jerry Story
Here is a superb lemon loaf that is included in this book because of its origin. It’s the loaf that her sister Auntie Mickey produced so many times and was a real signature creation of hers. As many of the O’Toole children made Vancouver their home for extended periods of time, Auntie Mickey played a huge role in their lives. The inclusion of this delicious, moist citrus loaf is in honor of Mickey’s role in the lives of the O’Toole family,

notes
The original recipe called for 1/2 cup chopped nuts but no one, and we mean no one, can remember nuts ever being in this loaf. Your call if you think it needs them.
