Barbecued Chicken
4 skinless boneless chicken breasts; (4 oz. or more each)
Sauce
1/4 c ketchup
3 tblsp cider vinegar
1/2 tblsp white horseradish; or more to taste
2 tsp brown sugar; packed
1 clove garlic; minced (or more)
1/8 tsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp black pepper
Preheat broiler, heat charcoal grill until coals form white ask, or preheat
a gas grill to medium.
To prepare sauce, in small saucepan, combine ketchup, vinegar, horseradish,
brown sugar, garlic, and thyme. Mix well. Bring to a boil over medium-low
heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove
from heat; stir in pepper.
Brush tops of chicken pieces lightly with sauce. Place chicken, sauce-side
down, on a foil-lined broiler pan or grill rack. Brush other sides lightly
with sauce.
Broil or grill 3 inches from heat, basting with reminaing sauce and turning
until no longer pink in center, about 5 to 7 minutes per side (mine took a
lot longer, because of the pieces were fatter and farther away from the
heat). Let chicken stand for 5 minutes before serving.
I served this with rice (nothing wrong with Rice A Roni), tossed green salad, grilled corn,
and those dill garlic rolls below.

John's Horseradish
1 fresh horseradish roots
1 vinegar
1 salt
1 sugar
Peel fresh horseradish root(s). Cut into pieces small enough to fit in the food processor. (Suggest you do this under a
range hood with the fan on high or outside.) Run the food processor until horseradish is ground finely. Stand back as far
as you can while still reaching the food processor, turn your head sideways so you don't breath anything, and pour
in through the spout sufficient vinegar to moisten the horseradish - small amount at a time. Turn the processor back
on just enough to mix the vinegar in. Add salt and sugar to taste.
Store in glass jars with plastic between jar and lid.
Warning: The first time I made this, I almost asphyxiated myself when I removed the lid from the food processor.

John's Cod Filets
a little butter
1 small onion; sliced real thin
3/4 cup dry white wine
2 lb cod filets; (4 pieces)
olive oil
parmesan cheese
bread crumbs
a little parsley; chopped
2 teaspoon flour
a pinch salt
1/2 cup milk; (we use 2%)
Smear light a baking dish with the butter and the onion slices you'll put
in, in one layer. Then you can pour in the wine. Put in the 4 pieces cod and
you'll brush with a little olive oil . Sprinkle on some Parmesan cheese and then
some bread crumbs. Now top it off with the chopped parsley and the whole
thing you'll bake uncovered in a 350°F oven for about 20 minutes, or until
it flakes nice. Meanwhile, the flour, salt and milk you'll mix together and
heat and stir until it gets thick. When the fish is ready, pour liquid from
the baking dish into the flour-milk mixture and you'll cook until the whole
thing thickens a little. Pour it over the fish and serve. Serves 4 add a vegetable
medley and a salad and enjoy.
