Can (not) opener

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?
