Hunger and faulty can openers...DAY 7

There is nothing worse than a growling stomach while looking at food you cannot open and NOTHING else in the house that fits in with your diet! I came home from summer camp and started to prepare my salad.  I got out the ingredients to use with my salad. Tuna fish (in water) and salad beans. I opened the tuna and got it ready. Then my can opener stopped working! What I mean by "stopped" is it just would not run anymore...it is battery operated...one of those automatic ones. It is also my only can opener since my manual can opener broke a couple of months ago. At this point,  I had the lettuce ready, the tuna fish was smelling pretty good and I started at the unopened can of beans. While debating if the lettuce and tuna were enough veggie and protein for my meal requirement, the cat smelled the tuna and came running. She started howling so I gave her a little bit of tuna fish on a plate. She gulped it down and then stood on her hind legs and clawed at me trying to get more. I also had kids running around wondering what they were going to eat. It was a MESS!! I ended up using some leftover white beans with the tuna fish and it turned out ok. So now I just need a recipe to use up the salad beans and I definitely need a new can opener.
I tried instant buckwheat this evening...not nearly as good as the regular. Blueberries are my best friends right now!
