John David is my brother.  This leads me to believe that this is an Alzheimer’s era recipe, because the only thing my brother has ever cooked is Macaroni and Cheese, and that might be a complete fallacy.   Perhaps he was there with her when she made it and suggested that she add more pepper or something and gave him credit.
