Before right wing billionaires were obviously meddling with content on social media, I might have easily chosen a commercial site to post this. I would also know where to get news from my favorite civil rights organizations, and where to complain that I ate an entire jumbo roll of Sweetarts and now feel queasy. But now, there is no obvious place to do such things.

Anyway… This is an Ube Latte from Signal Coffee Roasters in Alameda. It is tasty. And that color! Ube is a sort of purple yam, and it is popular with friends from the Phillipines. It is featured in an ice cream at Mitchell’s. Ube flavor goes well with espresso and almond milk, because OF COURSE IT DOES.

One of my team members says it also blends well with matcha, but I’m a matcha purist, so I haven’t tried that. (The color of purple plus green isn’t as pretty, I’ll note.)
