Barbecued Pork Chops
American Potato Salad
Tangy Coleslaw

Cooking time: 30 minutes for menu          Cooking schedule: see below for instructions

      Finish the chops with any barbecue sauce left from Sunday.  This is, almost, a no-work dinner.

Barbecued Pork Chops                                              Preparation and cooking time: 30 minutes
  Perfectly simple: a quick marinade to add flavor and moisture followed by a quick cooking on the grill.  I used rather thin, boneless chops.   

2 - 4 pork chops - depending on size, 12oz (350gr) total if boneless
Marinade
2 tbs red wine vinegar
1 tbs ketchup
2 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp dried marjoram
1/2 tsp garlic powder
3 tbs olive oil

Mix all ingredients for marinade and pour over chops.  Let marinate for 15 - 20 minutes.
Cook on barbecue for 5 - 8 minutes per side or until done.  Should be slightly pink in the middle, or near the bone if bone-in, when done - take a peak (techniques). 
Or fry in nonstick skillet over medium-high heat the same amount of time.  Serve.

Note:  If you cook it too long pork tends to be dry - unless you cook it really, really long - but that's winter cooking ... this is summer.
