On Saturday, I stopped by #Tuletorn to pick up some supplies for a beer tasting I'm hosting at the office on Friday. I'm quite looking forward to this one.

Going to a little gathering this evening and was asked to bring #dessert. As the members of the group adhere to various diets, I figured that some homemade #vegan mocha squares might just hit the spot.
