Actually you can. Just pop that bad boy in your optical drive and (if
you're not prompted graphically already) open a terminal and..

$ sudo apt-cdrom.

After that apt will now recognize that CD and the packages therein as a
source for packages. The fact that it's also a live CD doesn't matter.
The packages are still there.

Even so. I still say one should just bite the bullet back up needed
files from "~" and start anew.
