The other night, I made a concoction suggested by a friend consisting of:
- onions
- garlic
- eggplant
- broccoli rabe
- tomatoes
- kidney beans
- parsley, oregano, chili pepper flakes, etc to season
As I was cooking it, it looked and smelled delightful:
When it came time to open the can of kidney beans, PROBLEM:
Did you even know that could happen? I also needed that can opener for dessert (pumpkin mousse). Crap.
So I threw on a sweatshirt, ran to CVS and bought a brand new one for $6.95. Last one in the store. Sweet.
I rushed back home, made some butternut squash, added some gorgonzola and
VOILA! Le dinner is served (that is a small plate btw…this dish is VERY
filling)
All was well in my world, except it wasn’t...because I’m a dolt. Last
night I made a homemade pizza with whole wheat dough, turkey pepperoni
and fat free cheddar, and wanted to puree some canned tomatoes and add
spices for a dipping sauce. Could not find the new can opener ANYWHERE. I
did, however, find the old broken one with no crank. This led me to the conclusion that I actually threw away the new one.
Who does this? Am I ok? Should I seek help? Get extra can openers? What
do I do?
