My lunch soup has 340 calories.
260 of those are from fat.
I think I bought my last Tomato Basil Bisque. sadface.

Ok, now we've established that you're vegetarian but not vegan. Good to have a baseline.

Actually, good to know all of the above. I love to cook, and I love to share food with others. Two of my closest friends (and generally the reasons I'm not an exclusive hermit) are diabetic so I spend a lot of time trying to come up with healthy meals for them. *rueful smile* Neither of them would know what to do in a kitchen, and have no interest in learning at this late date.

I flirt with diabetes myself, and have a strong family history of it. I'm lucky that in general my soft spot is fats, not sugars (oh, the cheeses).

I am not, in fact, vegetarian. I am attempting to make the shift from the American "The Meat Is The Meal" model to the model where meat is a pleasant little part of the meal. I love beef, I'm trying not to buy pork ever since the Rolling Stone article, I love chickens, I have a mercurial relationship (ha ha ha) with fish, and I love going to La Fondue and eating ostrich and buffalo. (And cream cheese balls.)

mmmmmmmmmfats.
