This is what I did, and you are correct that it just came off of the front rings. Once I got it home and turned it upside down I figured out that I needed to work with the chain from the bottom - and will try your suggestion about how to fix it if (when) it happens again. I do think it was from my feeble attempt to shift - the left trigger shifter just takes more to shift it than I expect it to - and of course I am still getting used to it.

I kind of feel like a child looking mournfully out of the window at the snow and ice wondering when it will go away so I can get out on my bike again
