Spicy comforts of the season

Starbucks (other coffee shops are available - lots and lots and lots of them!) has been serving pumpkin spice latte as a limited offer seasonal drink for a long time now. My husband is convinced I have tried this before but I don't remember. (Must be my age!) Now I've tried it (recently enough to be able to comment sensibly) I can say I wouldn't rush to buy another one. Perhaps that is why I can't remember ever drinking it before?!

To be sure I was really doing a new (for me) thing I also tried gingerbread latte from Costa. Pleasant enough but, as with pumpkin spice, I wouldn't buy another one any time soon.

However, the new food of the month, a baked sweet potato or yam, was utterly delicious and definitely worth repeating. I've eaten sweet potato in stews and soups but not baked. Filled with melted cheese and butter baked sweet potato is a totally satisfying vegetarian dinner. I really must have this one again.
