Late Saturday Night

Possibly as an antidote to the above photo, which I'm told is a little on the grim side, I'm listening to "Smile" by Nat King Cole. I remember it from many juke boxes in the French Quarter of New Orleans.

I saw an article that made reference to "Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Five-Spice Butter." Does anybody have any idea what 5 Spice butter might be?

At the moment I'm eating more pasta with seafood. I only wish I had (you guessed it) more.

Perhaps 5-spice butter is butter mixed with these spices :-)

star anise
cinnemaon
cloves
fennel
Szechuan pepper

5-spice mixture is used in vietnam and china for chicken-, duck- and meatdishes.
Sometimes they add cardamon and ginger.
