Your most memorable FAILURE at cooking (v.2)

Ooh boy. I'm usually a level-headed person, but I sometimes lose rational sense when I'm in the kitchen. About a year ago, I remember eating a monte cristo sandwich from Bennigan's, so I decided to re-create the experience. Of course, I didn't dip it in egg or anything. I made myself a sandwich like I sometimes do, only this time I threw it in a deep fryer. The meat and cheese came out soo good....but they were sandwiched between two now oily sponges. It tasted pretty nice going down, but not so much when it came back up. I couldn't keep it down because I basically consumed a pint of oil or so. O_o

More recently, the missus and I were making chicken parmesan. I accidentely cooked the chicken in the microwave instead of defrosting it, so we cut it up, egged and floured the cubes, fried them, and put 'em in some spaghetti. It was her idea, but I'd like to think my absent-mindedness helped in the creation of a new tasty recipe.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
