Here's another good one from Anna Welander. Where does she
get them all?

Last week my boss said he was going to garnish my wages.
Call me dense, but I fail to see how a sprig of parsley in my
paycheck will make it any more attractive.

Call these johnnycakes or hoecakes if you like, but whatever you
call them, they're an American classic.

Cornmeal Pancakes

1 cup (250 ml) cornmeal
2 Tbs (30 ml) honey, maple syrup, or sugar
1 tsp (5 ml) salt
1 cup (250 ml) boiling water
1 egg
1/2 cup (125 ml) milk
2 Tbs (30 ml) melted butter
1/2 cup (125 ml) sifted all-purpose flour (sift before measuring)
2 tsp (10 ml) baking powder

Combine the cornmeal, honey, and salt in a bowl. Stir in the boiling
water and let stand for 10 minutes. Whisk together the egg, milk,
and butter and add to the cornmeal mixture, stirring to combine.
Add the flour and baking powder and stir just enough to incorporate -
there will be some lumps. Cook on a hot griddle until golden brown
on both sides. Serves 4 to 6.
