Our Crazy Cook for June is Carol from Ringgold, Georgia. Here’s Carol’s crazy story:

When my daughter was younger, and learning to cook, I was working full time. One day, she called me at work and asked if she could try frying some chicken for dinner. Her step mother had shown her how to fry chicken and she wanted to try it. OK, sounds good so far, right? NOT! I came home from work to find her crying, and my son laughing his head off. After much coaxing, I learned that she had followed all the steps her step mother had given her for frying chicken, at least until it came time to add the cooking oil to the pan. Instead of adding cooking oil, she grabbed the bottle of light Karo syrup and had proceeded to cook the chicken in that. When she found out what she had done, it was too late, the chicken was already in the pan.

Needless to say, we ate pizza that night.
