"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

Pour into bowl and repeat process to make second batch of sauce. When chicken is cooled, shred into small pieces. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with a wooden spoon until smooth.
