Yay!! Learned something today! Any day you learn something is a beautiful day.
I remember one time (in band camp) when I was a teenager & I was fixing the hummingbird food for the day (had to make it daily w/all the damned birds we had). Went just a little crazy making the food (I'd boil about 2 liters of water w/about 4 cups of sugar so it'd dissolve faster). I wasn't pay any attention & got my mom's 4cup Pyrex measuring cup rather than the 2cup'r and dumped 2 of those in the 2 liters of water so there was 8 cups of sugar. Didn't really pay attention until I accidentally spilled a little on my hand... WOW was that sweet! My mom accused me of trying to give the poor birdies diabetes.
