Happy holidays everyone! This post is for our friend Ralph, who has requested more “dessert posts.” Happy to oblige! Like the cheesecake post, this one is very non-plant-based. And highly processed. Unlike how I normally eat as well. I can only eat like this rarely. Usually it’s around the holidays. I just don’t […]

Another year of ForensicBBQ is in the books. As we turn the page on yet another year, we’ll finish it off with our second tailgate post. These are always fun ones – and today was no different. It helps that our November game turned out to be outstanding weather. She was a bit

Another salsa post? Yes, absolutely. There’s a few reasons for it. I can’t find very many salsas that are both spicy enough for me, and tasty enough to enjoy. I know it’s a fine line. Habanero is my favorite level of heat right now – but everyone sweetens it up with mango. That

I was thinking about future tailgate ideas and about how it would be difficult to top the Lobster Roll venture. Then I got to thinking – I don’t think I’ve posted any lobster tails on here before. I know I’ve made them before.. probably only once before because they aren’t my favorite.. but

Last week, I asked you to guess what else I’d add to the Idaho posts.. and if you guessed more potatoes, you’re absolutely right. But not just any potatoes.. we’re doing french fries. But they’re double-fried. And we’re making some fry sauce. The Prep table During one of my lunch breaks in Idaho

We’ll call this a relatively short post, because it’s a baked potato with leftover meat. But we’re going to do Idaho proud and use them Russet and make us a baker. I’d see these things at the BBQ joint come out and it was always a sight. And I’ve never made one. We’re

As we’ve passed our five (5!) year anniversary on this here food blog, you’d think the procedure(s) would be refined, maybe better camera/photos. Nope. This one was a photography/blogger fail. But we’ll bring it around like I always do. I took so little photos, that I had to see when our first post

I know some of you saw the heading and embodied the “Blink 182 WTF” meme. I probably roped you in with the “Chilean Sea Bass and cream sauce” but left you wondering why hush puppies. Because I wanted hush puppies. Nothing more than that. And to celebrate our 400th post (401 to be
