Soymedaillon in creamy Peppersauce with rice

After having quite a harmful weekend I had to cheer myself up with a good dish. 
Well, on saturday I was invited at a family evening and still after almost ten years being vegan I was asked by my uncle - "your vegan?"
Well I explained why and there it began. I just felt unknowness, ignorance and the words they said where quite sad. 

I sat at the table, lucky with at least a plate with rice and vegetablecurry. When my uncle passed me the peppermill - all he said was - that "this is meatfree"...........

Guess you can imagine how I felt. The day after I wrote my mother a mail and wrote that I was quite disappointed about the day before. 

All she wrote back, was that animals where given from God to feed us and that she think that veganismus is like a sect or satanismus. And that - by making more salad and vegetable - not going to prepare me something vegan.... I broke into tears reading the mail and that from my own mother. Well she accept but can't understand............

I needed days to come over it, knowing I could change her mind.


At least I know whats good and what I'm doing is the right way!

To cheer myself up I stood in kitchen and prepared a soulfood-dish. 

Hopefully you are more integrated in your family and feel yourself lucky if so.
