It’s for those days when you hit every red light, when you’re on the phone all day trying to fix a situation that should never have become broken in the first place, when every attempt at anything gets thwarted somehow, and all you want to do is crawl back into bed, pull the covers over your head, and go back to dreamland with the ponies, kittens, and rainbows (where hopefully they won’t be chasing you in some twisted, scary movie, kitten-turned psycho-kitty, kind of way). This glazed lemon bread, a tea cake really, is perfect for chasing off the grouchy-grumblies. It’s light, moist, lemony, with just a touch of honey and cardamom. If the magic that is baking can produce this lemon bread, then anything is possible and tomorrow is a new day. *Do not soften butter in microwave. Either leave a stick of butter on kitchen counter for an hour, or place between two pieces of wax paper and rollout with a rolling pin to soften.
