Read more carefully... there are *two* stages of simmering... the
first stage of simmering the sausage and dumping the water disposed of
the schmutz leached from the sawseege. Simmering the then purged
kilbasa with the beans removed nothing more, just melded the flavors.

Just one tablespoon, a very wussy eater... one Tbls of PB is a stingy
amount for two Ritz cracker sammiches.

Well, how much peanut butter *one* person puts on their toast has no
bearing on how much peanut butter *most* folks consume at a sitting.
One Tbls of peanut butter is a pretty small quantity, barely a lech
and a schmeck, I don't think too many would bother dirtying a knife. I
just went to look at my measuring spoons to refresh my memory, I very
rarely use them, like once in five years to dole out the Metamucil
(and that's a rounded Tbls), 1 Tbs of PB/a grown man, yer kidding....
that's like two Reese's Pieces minis.
