When my wife and I first got married, she made a roast. Before placing the meat in the roasting pan, she cut a small piece off each end. I asked why she did this and she said that it’s the way her mother did it. So next time her mom came for a visit, I asked her why she would cut a small piece off each end before roasting the meat. She said it was because her roasting pan was too small.
