[Tastebridge] tastebridge updates

[Kathryn Storm]

Hey guys, just wanted to give a quick note about the vegan cooking next
week. I was going to shoot for Wednesday as to not crowd out any other
event happening on Tuesday. But Tuesday works fine, too. As far as other
workshops going on that week, which day works best?

> SCHEDULE
> It looks like there isn't an event planned for this Wednesday.  I hear

> I'm in talks with getting a collaborative beer brew session for Feb
