A woman was making a roast. She cut off the ends and discarded them. Her husband was watching and asked why she did that. She said, “That’s the way mother always did it”. She then phoned her mom to ask why she cut the ends off. Mom explained that she had only a very small pan, and otherwise the roast would not fit. There was nothing the matter with the ends — no reason at all to discard them.
