This has got to be the most ridiculous time we’ve ever had, planning for a special day.

We now have everything we need for food for both the oil and the cheese fondue. I’d already taken the oil fondue set down, ready to be washed and assembled. It’s a lovely set that includes a spinning glass ring around the pot that holds bowls for sauces. The cheese fondue set is a basic ceramic pot with a stand over a tea light. I just went to take it out to be washed and readied, too. I headed over to the shelf to get it and…

No pot.

I checked all the other cubes in the shelf, but no pot.

I started going through other shelves and cupboards.

No pot.

I even checked closets in my bedroom.

No pot.

After talking with the girls about it, the only thing we can think is, we didn’t take it when we moved. My older daughter now even half remembers us deciding that the big set was worth packing, but not both sets, but she doesn’t remember it well enough to be sure. Alternatively, it is among the things the movers lost, but I was positive it was unpacked and in that shelf!

Which is just hilarious. After all this, and we don’t even have a pot for the cheese fondue!

That, at least, is easy to substitute. We will just set up the hot plate and use a saucepan.

Or I could bake a round loaf of bread or two!

Since it is a lower temperature dip, we can use regular forks, though I think the big set has six fondue forks, and we only need four, so we should have at least two available.

Well, I know what to be on the lookout for in the future! 😆😆

On the plus side, while looking for the fondue set, I checked inside a box and discovered a set of lovely little serving bowls we hadn’t taken out of their packaging, and promptly forgot about.

We will enjoy using those again.
