When we were little and attending Sunday School, a favorite bible song was 'The wise man built his house upon the rock, the foolish man built his house upon the sand, the rain came down, and the floods came up, the wise man's house stood firm, the foolish man's house went splat!'       

...na '...the foolish man's house fall flat like a doseh roti !'

Come to think of it, doseh roti of flour and water, with sugar sometimes added, is a poor man's breakfast. But eaten with guava jam is very delicious.

Decades ago I made a round tower or metal to bake roti that is stored flat in a cupboard. Recently I was asked why it had a hole on the handle and it was to hang on a nail in a logie kitchen. The handle hole is not required for its present storage, but it was automatically done when the tower was made. Anyone know why its called a tower ?

It is the same reason a lady was asked why she cut the ends of a roast before placing it in  a baking pan.  She said she learn it from her mother, who also learnt it from her mother. When the grandmother was asked why she did it, she said her baking pan was too small.  But the existing pan was not small.

We sometimes follow what other family members did in our homes and automatically do it ourselves, without question.
