Dear Pennies & Pens,
If you’ve been following me and reading this blog for awhile you know that this is the 3rd year of 8515’s event, Pensgiving. If you haven’t keep reading the page, little baby. This is A Page of Flavor: Pensgiving 2019.
Pensgiving, an 8515 Event
Pensgiving is an exclusive social event + dinner party for multicultural millennials and creatives. Pensgiving is committed to helping attendees, relax and have fun. Itās about celebrating life and being thankful for what you have.
Furthermore, Pensgiving is dedicated to spreading awareness of Veganism and educating attendees about the Vegan lifestyle. In essence, Pensgiving brings multicultural millennials and creatives together to nibble on some tasty eats, sip on good dranks and meet cool peeps.
V-Ink at Pensgiving
Pensgiving features a home cooked meal of plant based cuisine. The Pensgiving menu features a variety of traditional Soul Food + Thanksgiving dishes. We only serve Vegan food at Pensgiving because our Creator, LoudPen is Vegan and loves spreading the plant based diet.
Pen recognizes that many people donāt understand the plant based lifestyle, therefore, we created a platform that would give people the opportunity to sample Vegan food and learn more about the Vegan lifestyle.
Pensgiving, an 8515 InkBrand
Pensgiving was created in the spirit of nostalgia and our love for Black American pop culture with a special emphasis on the 90s. We decided to bring the flavor to the concept of āFriendsgivingā hence why our branding was inspired by the all-white TV show, Friends.
The thing is we loved the show Friends and we aināt mad at Becky with the Good Hair. We just want to celebrate diversity and multiculturalism. Our goal is to bring multicultural millennials and creatives together to have fun, eat good food, and sip on some tasty dranks.
Pensgiving 2019, the Sponsors
Since it’s not cheap to keep the Pensgiving inkevent running, we’re working with several sponsors for 2019. We’re excited to announce that Follow Your Heart and Tofurky have joined us as sponsors for the second year in a row. Also, Llano Wines is joining us as a sponsor for 2019. Keep reading the ink to learn more about these fabulous brands.
Follow Your Heart is one of the oldest and most iconic Vegan brands. They are the creators of Vegenaise, the original and #1 Vegan mayo as well as Vegan salad dressings, cheeses, yogurts, and VeganEgg.
We’ll be sampling and pairing their Vegan cheeses with Llano Wines. We love wine but we find that it’s hard to find delicious Vegan cheeses that pair well with wine. Insert Follow Your Heart, a brand that we genuinely love and can’t wait to sample with Llano Wine. We cannot wait for the inktasting! It’s going be amazing.
Tofurky creates plant-based proteins. They make everything from deli meat to their signature Tofurky — Vegan turkey. In fact, it’s the Tofurky and their Veggie Ham Roast that we’ll be serving at Pensgiving.
I truly believe that Tofurky should be a staple at every Vegan Holiday Dinner. It’s delicious and easy to make! Forget struggling with a dead bird, instead eat an environmentally friendly and tasty Tofurky.
Llano Wines is the largest, best-selling premium winery in Texas, producing wines of world-class quality and introducing the entire globe to the fine wines made in the Lone Star State.
I couldn’t be more excited to be working with a local Texas brand. I cannot wait to sample these wines and see how they pair with Follow Your Heart cheeses. We’ll be tasting both their Whites and Reds as well as a Rose`.
With that said, I’m going to wrap up this ink. If you’re in Dallas, be sure to get your inkspot here: Pensgiving 2019
And there it is. de la Pen…All Pen Everything. With us, keeping it real never goes wrong.
