I’m guessing it was three or four years ago when my parents decided to clean house and gather some goods to place in a garage sale. My brothers and I got the call that it was first-come-first-serve to obtain any item they were about to pawn off to the public. They’ve resided in the same house in Bethlehem Township for 20 years. Both my brothers and I were raised here through our early teens and college years. Needless to say, they have accumulated their fair share of “stuff” and decided it was time to reduce inventory. There was your typical garage sale merchandise, vases that lost their luster, various furniture pieces, shelving, nic nacs, etc. However, one item caught my eye immediately. It was a fondue pot still in it’s original box loaded with retro images and coloring. It was a wedding gift to my parents 40 years ago. It had its use but ran its course so I decided to take it. I think I’ve used it once at a house party I had on New Year’s Eve two year’s ago. It served as the vessel for some velvety white chocolate fondue. However, this past Friday Sauced used the 40 year old fondue pot at a fundraiser for No Kill Lehigh Valley at the Comfort Suites in South Side Bethlehem to keep our Tomato Confit warm for our Grilled Manchego Sandwiches. It worked perfectly!
