Miller,
The recipe for the bread came from the next door neighbor to my parents, when I was a boy. He was a member of the White Earth band of Indians, lived on the reservation most of his life, and moved back late in life. That is what he called it. I was born on the East coast, and moved here as a child.
I dont doubt there is flat cornbread called Johnnycake. I also know this guy, were he still alive, would call what I made the same thing. Unless you tried to make it in a pan that wasnt cast iron, in which case he would have called it shit.
No coffee after 2:00pm or so for me, it makes me fidget in bed. Beer is water. I drink at least one per day.

Today, I will have two.

Best,
Ted
