I... Genuinely only realizing this now
(lemmy.world)
For real. Everytime I get in the shower I end up having to point the showerhead away and cower from the cold water and I could have just turned it on first?
I remember a story of a child watching their mother cook a roast, and asked why she cut the ends off before putting it in the oven.
The mother learned it from her mother, so they both went and asked the grandmother.
Turned out the grandmother used to have a small oven and did that to make it fit.
There's a weirder variant where they always cover meat with a draining rack while it's marinating. After N years the grandparent visits for dinner and explains "yes but you see we had a cat..."
I immediately thought of the variant of this story I've heard when I read the post.
In the variant I heard: grandma never had bakeware that could fit the entire roast.
Same difference. I kinda like yours better.
