osprey_archerFirst, if anyone needs cheering up: adorable photos of ducklings! (The article persists in calling them "baby ducks," which is just silly. Ducklings is a perfectly good word!)
And second, the grocery store has baked beans in cans with pop tops now! Which is probably exciting only to me, on account of my epic losing battle with my can opener - FUN FACT, when canned food was first invented you had to open it with a pick, on account of can openers had not been invented. Whenever I have shredded another can in my quest to extract its contents, I recall this fact and try to feel less downtrodden.
Mostly I just feel awe at the competence of Victorian housewives, though. I am pretty sure that if I tried to open cans with a pick I would destroy everything in the kitchen aside from the can.
BUT NOW IT IS A MOOT POINT because I can open baked beans without recourse to a can opener. Om nom nom.
