But I'm having a good day. Opened a packet of olives and found not only a
high proportion of lupini beans in there but also a bit of a green bean.

My Boston Baked Beans seem on the right track now that I have cooked down
the liquid. I also turned the crock up to high and left the lid off just
while I took a shower. I know you aren't really supposed to do that but it
did seem to evaporate the last bit of liquid that I couldn't fish out of
there.
