A modern standard wineglass fill is between 5 and 6 ounces( usually 5) but a glass filled to the brim is between 8 and 10

Thinking anxiously ahead, I consulted my Margarite Paton cookbook, > she's full of ideas on how to fix a dud pudding, in this case a well flavoured sauce should help. My next problem is how to steam all the b*#+%y puddings. I have a 2 quart, 1 quart, and three small puddings from this recipe .. I don't have that many suitable saucepans! I'm trying the oven method. There's only going to be 5 of us oldies for dinner, looks like we'll be eating Christmas pudding all year. One book did say you can fry the leftovers :) > I would like to ask you founts of all knowledge out there "what, in ounces, > is a wine glassful"? has anyone else had a disaster like this?
