Momma, I have to go spread my nuts!

This is what Divon told me the other night. Of course, as a mother who still has to tell him which shoe goes on which foot, I found this statement pushed him a bit ahead of others in his age group.

Well, to let you all know what was really going on - he had sesame seeds in his hand. He was referring to them as "his nuts". And he was going outside to spread them on the ground for the birds or squirrels to eat. So environmentally conscientious, my little man!

Whew! (I know that is what you are thinking, as was I!)

The other part of the story is that Johnathan and I were grilling. We had some sesame oil, fresh grated ginger, sesame "nuts", soy sauce, dark brown sugar - maybe a couple of other ingredients - in the merinade for the chicken. Well, while I was taking Johnathan his refreshing beverage of choice Chef Divon added another half jar of sesame "nuts" and some KETCHUP! (The ketchup was not only in the merinade, but also streaked across my freshly painted cabinets!) John and I thought it might throw off the flavor we were going for, but hey - the kid is a grillin' guru - It turned out great. Personally, I think it is because the majority of the ketchup was spewed across my kitchen cabinets.
