Fondue is good. Really good.

Fondue is good. Really good. Even if it takes almost four hours to eat dinner, it’s worth it.
We had an unintentional girls night at The Melting Pot yesterday in very belated honor of Cari and Becca’s birthdays, both of which actually occurred in February. But, better late than never, so Becca, Cari, Jen, Sara and I headed downtown sans boys (because none of them wanted to come) for what became a very fun night — even if it being a girls night meant that the conversation turned interesting and involved a few choice phrases being embarassingly broadcast at Becca-decibel-level to anyone within earshot. Heh. Anyway, we had two different kinds of cheese fondue, then three meats in two broths, and then both a milk and dark chocolate dessert fondue. MMM. It was delicious.

Links for today:
There’s a nice article in USA Today about the Astros and the process of building a major league roster.
The BBC has a good article about Europe’s next Mars mission, scheduled for 2011. They’re trying to figure out if they can feasibly turn their “carrier” spacecraft into a true orbiter with data relay capability, so that they don’t have to rely on NASA’s MRO (which, in 2011, will already be doing data relay for MSL).
Turn your photos into polaroids! (Beware — it crops everything to a square. But still cool. How do websites like this work?)
