Thanksgiving Deliciousness

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving! A time to gather with the family, give thanks for all your good fortunes... and of course, stuff your face with deliciousness. Mustn't forget the face-stuffing. In honor of that, I thought I'd present you with my very own recipe for just that - stuffing.

The required amount for each ingredient is an estimation, and you may want to use less or more of each depending on how much breadcrumb/stuffing mix you're using. The following is assuming you're using one 8-oz box.

Super Awesome and Simple Stuffing:

1 large white onion
3-6 stalks of celery
1 large package of mushrooms
1 - 1 1/2 cups Dried cranberries
1/2 package Jimmy Dean (or your favorite brand) un-cased sausage
One 8-oz package of any cornbread or plain stuffing mix (I use Pepperidge Farm )
Chicken broth or stock (as much as is called for on the stuffing box)

Mince and sautee the onion, celery, and mushrooms with some salt and pepper until cooked through. Set aside. Do the same for the sausage (minus the salt + pepper) in a separate pan, then set aside as well.

Prepare the stuffing mix according to the instructions on the box, using the chicken stock instead of water. Mix all the ingredients in a casserole dish and bake according to stuffing instructions. Devour.

What? You're waiting for more? Nope, thats it. Seriously, it's that simple. And amazing.

Happy Thanksgiving from everyone here at Cafe.com!

Web Marketing Association 2008 Web Award Winner

It's a good thing we're so modest over here at Cafe.com, or little things like this might go to our heads: we've managed to take home yet another award, the Web Marketing Association's 2008 winner for Outstanding Achievement in Website Development.

Sites were judged on criteria including design, innovation, and ease of use, as well as content - and apparently in this case, overall awesomeness (because, you know, we're awesome like that). Past winners include Disney Online for their Hot Shots Business site, and Ignited Minds, the creative thinkers behind the website for uber-popular console game Knights of the Old Republic.

We'd like to thank the judges and everyone else who voted for us, and hope you'll all continue to enjoy the great games at Cafe.com as much as we enjoy bringing them to you.

More Contests

With Halloween and Election Day behind us, its time to start gearing up for Thanksgiving. Of course, Cafe.com can't let a holiday like that go by without a celebratory contest. And to mark the super-awesomeness that is a holiday centered entirely around stuffing yourself silly with deliciousness (and giving thanks for your good fortunes, of course...), they're hosting not one, but TWO separate contests: Wordox and Temple of Mahjong 2.

The usual rules apply: have the highest score at the end of the contest period, take home the prize - which in this case is a $150 xperiencedays.com activities giftcard, perfect for planning your winter vacation. View all the contest info here.

Get going!

Barack me, PRESIDENT Obamadeus!

It's been a long, winding, and dramatic two years. But at last, the polls have closed, the votes are in, and the next president of the United States of America is... Barack Obama!

It's no secret that the last 8 years have been turbulent ones for our country. Regardless of personal political leanings, it can be agreed that we're all looking with hope towards the future, eager for change and a return to prosperity.

And maybe, just maybe, the next time someone asks "are you better off than you were 4 years ago", we'll be able to give a new answer for the first time in a long time: "Yes".

Cafe.com congratulates the President-elect, and wishes him luck and goodwill in his endeavors for the next 4 years.

I wonder if President Obama likes Mahjong?
