So much pudding, so little time

The weather was so nice yesterday I decided, rather late in the day, to do a load of baking. If that sounds odd to those of you who aren't subscribed to the 'Weather report from Austin' conversation, that's because it was unseasonably cool yesterday, to the tune of 18°F/10°C - the normal for this time of the year is 96/35.6, but our maximum yesterday was only 78/25.6. So I baked a dozen currant buns and I steamed the Christmas pudding that's been sitting in the pantry since last December.
I may have overdone it a bit, seeing as how I'm only about half way through the chocolate cake I made earlier this week 
The 
thing is, I finished steaming the 
quite late, around 10.30pm, turned off the heat and left it in the pot to cool down, then went to bed having forgotten about it. This morning it's still warm. Not awfully so, but warm enough to notice that's warm. For reference, the minimum temperature last night was 70F/21C. Which is also unseasonably cool, but only by 5°F.
I've got a few Christmas beers in the fridge (Anchor Christmas, Avery Old Jubilation, Great Divide Hibernation, and I might pull that four-year-old bottle of The Czar out of the pantry 
) to go with it, but I'll need to buy some cream this weekend.
So feel free to start the war on Christmas (in July)

10°C does sound remarkably civilised for Texas in July!
(I misread a bit of your post, and I was wondering who "The Czar of the Pantry" was. He'd be an interesting guy to meet! 
)

Ah, no - it was 10° cooler than it ought to have been. A maximum of 10C/50F here in July... well, that probably hasn't happened since the last ice age 
And *I* am the Czar of the Pantry 
The Czar in question though is Avery 'The Czar' Russian Imperial Stout. A 22oz bottle and a mere 11% ABV

So I guess that means you misread two parts of my post Those Jekyll-and-Hyde outings of yours are affecting your concentration

That must be it, yes. I did think 10°C sounded ridiculously cool...

I'll be honest with you - there are some of us who wouldn't mind that
