On a (Dinner) Roll

I keep discovering home items that I thought I had, I don't own anymore. I probably had these at some point in time, but when I combined homes with my ex, we got rid of the doubles of poor quality...which were mostly mine.

Since I've moved in, I've bought a new spoon rest for the stove...to discover I had no spoons or any other cooking utensils. Yesterday, I bought some canned garbanzo beans to prep with a salad to take to work...and found I had no can opener.

Today, I planned to prep a wonderful spring slow cooker dinner (because I haven't cleaned my grill or gotten gas for it yet) but forgot that I didn't have the large pot needed for some of the prep required. So I put the beans that had been soaking overnight back in the fridge (can you oversoak beans? probably) and I'll try again tomorrow.

Which is fine, because I forgot to thaw the chicken anyway.
