The Weekend Grillers NEW Dip and Salsa Section

If you haven’t checked it out yet, do yourself a favor and head over to The Weekend Grillers NEW Dip and Salsa Section. 

You know, Barbeque (or BBQ) has several meanings depending on where you live and who is talking.

Of course, Barbeque is a delicious way of preparing meat, usually on a grill or other open flame and often with a spicy or sweet sauce. We love this BBQ.  It’s what The Weekend Grillers main site is all about.

But it can also refer to an outdoor party where the above food is often served. It is with this in mind that The Weekend Grillers has built our three new sections –

Weekend Movies

Weekend Drinks

And, Today’s Section, Dips and Salsa!

Here is a delicious and addicting recipe from the Dips and Salsa section to raise your interest:

Vidalia Onion Dip

Ingredients

  • 3 cups chopped Vidalia Onions
  • 3 cups shredded Swiss Cheese
  • 2 1/2 cups Mayonnaise (We only use Duke’s Mayonnaise)
  • 2 to 3 roasted Garlic Cloves (see below)
  • Salt to taste

Directions

  1. Mix all ingredients and pour into a greased 1 1/2 quart baking dish.
  2. Bake in the oven at 350F for 35 to 45 minutes until lightly browned. The onions should be soft and juicy and the cheese should be melted and bubbly
  3. Serve straight from the oven with corn chips.

Head over to the Vidalia Onion Page on The Weekend Grillers Dips and Salsa Section to learn how to prepare roasted garlic.

Adult Party Ideas — Yeah, We Got ‘Em!

PART THREE

In Part One of this post we talked about how crappy most adult party websites are and in Part Two we talked about how we really party today.

In this part we look at what The Weekend Grillers have in store for the future.

Three Sections are Just the Beginning

Recently The Weekend Grillers added 3 new Adult Party Sections to the website.  These sections concentrate on Drinks, Dips & Salsa and Movies.  They come from an abandoned idea I had to create a site dedicated to the way that mature adults like to party — not silly games and costumes as so many websites seem to think but Good Friends, Good Food, Good Drinks and Good Times. 

If you read part 2, you saw that when I started creating my Adult Party Site, I created several different sections.  Drinks, Dips & Salsa and Movies are just the three that were the most nearly ready and were the easiest to include when I moved The Weekend Grillers to the new site. 

We have many more sections that we plan to include in the future — including Appetizers, Desserts, Good Party Games (no Big Toe Game here), Camping,  Weekend Get-Aways and MORE — to make The Weekend Grillers a TRUE adult party site.

Even the three that we put up are not close to being done (notice that there are no movies past “P”.)  Look for many more movie programs, drink recipes and dip and salsa ideas.

The True Adult Party Site — The Weekend Grillers

PART ONE

Recently, when we moved to our new, beautiful Web 2.0 Website, The Weekend Grillers added three new sections to the site — Weekend Drinks, Dips and Salsa and Movie Night Movies.  These areas have many new and exciting party ideas and recipes and should add to the enjoyment of your next BBQ Party or Cookout.

But what are they doing on a Barbeque Site?

An Adult Party Site?  Not this Adult!

Shortly after we started The Weekend Grillers, I was searching the web for ideas and came across a site that claimed to have “Adult Party Games.”  (Adult as in “mature” — not “sexual”.  Nothing wrong with those — it just wasn’t what I was looking for.  That day. ;)

I clicked on the link and the first game I saw was called “The Big Toe Game“ 

Here’s how you play it (YOU!  Not me!)  You ask your guests to pull off their shoes and socks.  Then everyone compares big toes.  You give prizes for the longest, hairiest and, I’m not making this up, the most sock lint.

Now I don’t know about you, but if I’m at a party and someone suggests The Big Toe Game, I’m outta there.  I don’t even think massive amounts of beer would make this fun.  

Needless to say, I didn’t read any further.  

I did research the subject further though (adult parties not big toes ;) ) and found very little on the web that resembled how my friends and I ACTUALLY party.   

We’ve Grown Up — But We Haven’t Grown Old 

Every site I went to seemed to think that my friends and I like to play silly games or dress up like TV Characters.  Sure, these things might be fun occasionally, but for most of our parties we don’t play Pin the G-String on the Stripper or come dressed as Skipper and Little Buddy. 

Most of our parties consist of Good Friends, Good Food, Good Drink and Good Conversation.  We often “build” the party around a reason — such as The Superbowl or Fourth of July – but the main attraction is just getting together and enjoying each others’ company.

So I set out to make a REAL Adult Party Site.

So What Happened and Where Is It?

I quickly realized two things — the web already has a lot of party sites (even if they weren’t very good) and I had bitten off a little more than I could chew.

I start creating sections on Drinks, Dips & Appetizers, Movies (look familiar?), Appetizers, Good Games, Desserts and More.  It wasn’t long before I was completely overwhelmed by the task and just gave up. 

The pages I had completed sat on my harddrive for months until I finally realized a third thing:

I ALREADY had a TRUE Adult Party Site – THE WEEKEND GRILLERS.

Come Back Tomorrow for Part 2 of this Post where we learn if we are Too Old to Party.
