Christmas is coming

All Hail!

It is I, the Great and Powerful Godzilla. And I am in the dog house again.

You see as I am not American, I am not used to your countries customs and when The Tristan told me Christmas was coming, I wanted to make him a traditional Japanese Christmas Cake!

For those of you who aren't familiar here is an explaination:

Christmas cake in other countries
In Japan, Christmas cake,
traditionally eaten on Christmas Eve, is simply a sponge
cake, frosted with whipped cream, decorated with strawberries, and usually
topped with Christmas chocolates or other seasonal fruit. In the Philippines, Christmas cakes
are bright rich yellow pound cakes with macerated nuts or fruitcakes of the
British fashion. Either way, both are soaked in copious amounts of brandy or rum
mixed with a simple syrup of palm sugar and water. Traditionally, civet or ambergris musk flavoring is
added, but rosewater or orange flower water is more common now, as civet musk
and ambergris have become very expensive[citation
needed]. These liquor-laden cakes can usually stay fresh for many months
provided it is handled and made properly. Because of its long shelf life, it is
a very popular gift for Christmas and one cake made the previous year is
sometimes saved for the next Christmas to symbolize union with "Christmases
past", or may be consumed for the following Easter[citation
needed].

You can probably already tell where my preperation of this cake when south. I really should not be trusted with alcohol or fire at the same time but no one was home to stop me and I had to get this cake made for The Tristan.

First of all, the only rum we had in the house was the Bacardi 151 which you know catches on fire. And of course I had to drink some to make sure it was still good. I mean, rum could go bad, right?

Well it turns out if you add rum to the hot breath of a nuclear lizard you get a giant fire. And even though the Bater is fond of saying "die in a fire" he doesn't seem to actually want to die in a fire.

We got the fire put out but not before I totally scorched and destroyed the liquor cabinet. So not only am I in trouble, I'm sober.

Send more sake,
Godzilla
