Just had another thought. Down here I can buy coconut milk in bottles. Is that an option in your area? We also buy our tomato paste in the little plastic envelopes. Also something that you might consider is tomato paste in the tube. Then you would need no can opener.
Since you are only cooking for one most of the time, the convection oven would be a really good investment. I talked a friend of mine into buying one for her and her husband and she knocked more than $10 off her electric bill the first month. In 10 months it had completely paid for itself.
