Sometimes things should not go together. For example, a person with Misophonia sitting among contestants for a gum chewing competition. A hungry dog and a fresh shipment of a half cow to go into your freezer. A cranky four year old and a lengthy 2 1/2 hour parade in 100 degree weather. Not that I experienced that over the fourth of July. Speaking of that, a mother of a newborn running on three hours of sleep, without breakfast, and holding a sleepy baby for a 2 1/2 hour parade in 100 degree weather just may be the most dangerous combination ever. Not that I would know that either! Here's the ultimate bad combination: Angelina Jolie's lips, Steve Buscemi's teeth, Michael Jackson's nose (post 200 surgeries), David Bowie's eyes, and Bob Ross' hair. Man- I think I just created the scariest-looking person ever. I would have thrown in a clown nose, but Michael's Jackson's freakishly small nose is way more frightening than a clown nose.
This combination of ingredients here on this chicken is wonderful. If I had any doctors hanging out here tonight, I would have him/her come on here and make a statement that goes something like this, "Good evening. I am here to talk about the Alice Springs Chicken. While this dish is incredibly delicious, if you eat this on a regular basis, you will have a heart attack and/or high cholesterol. Thank you for listening to this message." Seriously though, I think this recipe has some serious calories packed into it. However, I don't see any harm in eating in occasionally. It is quite the mouthful of flavors. I loved every bite!
