Answer 2

Well as it happens I worked in Jamaica and did make them a few times, johnnycake is a fired or baked cornmeal based bsicuit like dough and I mean american dinner biscuit not UK cookie.

I can give a written jamaican one, or a cup of cornmal to a packages biscuit mix, with mlik and melted marg in it, mixed and allow to rest, them either porioned into a small loafs and baked or into indivdual rounds flattens to a small round like a hamburger bun and fried in oil, if you fry johnnycake dough it is known as a "Festival" dumpling.

Here is the recipe for a Jamaican site.

Answer 4

Hey, actually i'm using your question to ask you more questions cause i don't know how i can contact you.

You answered my question about problems after chemically straightening hair.It was really nice of you to answer and if possible i'd like to ask you a few more things. You gave me a bit of hope that I can improve my situation cause its extremely depressing. I can't believe what i've done cause I've always had a beautiful wavy texture. I never realised that this treatment was so strong and frankly,I'm all out against my hairdresser cause he should never have even suggested this treatment on me.Its extremely harmful and I'd give anything to undo it.I't partially my fault cause I didn't inform myself properly.

If you'd like to share what happened in your case i'd be grateful so that I could see what steps you took to face this problem.For example i've seen a dermatologist but unfortunately he can't know exactly the nature of chemicals which were used on me. he only confirmed that there were no visible burns.the problem is that i still have that burning sensation.Did you have the same feeling or was your problem related just to the texture?The dermatologist gave me two shampoos for itchy scalps and to help remove any dandruff which had accumulated after I had taken some pills also to try and solve the problem of my scalp.

Now, before taking any new action I would like to ensure that what I do is actually healthy and beneficial. You suggested a type of conditioner and wax.Who suggested them to you and what effects did they have?

If you'd answer me you'd really be giving me a hand cause I really need any help I can get.My e-mail is [e-mail]. the best way to reach me is through this e-mail.

Thanks. hope to hear from you.
