Really! That is funny.

Steve Martin! That must be some good stories.

I have tons of famous people stories from previous work I have done but have to keep confidentiality till this day. I will say though I gave Reese Witherspoon the flu and Liv Tyler a roll of toilet tissue cause there wasn't one in the stall, Serena and Venus Williams are girls you never want to get into a bar fight with, Matt McConaughy is a flirt and lead my receptionist to believe he would call her which turned into a prank that needed to be played, and there are way too many male stars trying to pass off they have a full head of hair.

Here is mine. It was way off on where I am from though.

Western

Western is kind of neutral, but not quite since it`s still possible to tell where you`re from. So you might not actually be from the West (but you probably are). If you really want to sound "neutral," learn how to say "stock" and "stalk" differently.

You would think so, and if not, it should be!

Really good. Next time you are in an upscale restaurant, try it.

Zim's Ridiculously Delicious Cottage Pie (bear in mind I'm not much of a traditionalist!)


- Saute onions and garlic in olive oil
- add lean ground beef
- when brown add beef stock to taste. I usually add 2 cubes in 1/2 cup water if 1 to 1 1/2 lbs meat plus or minus. Can add more water later if a bit dry.
-throw in whatever veggies take your fancy. Me - 3 or 4 tomatoes, mushrooms, celery, frozen peas (unless you are very lucky and can find fresh), grated carrots, zucchini
- add a couple of bay leaves, oregano, sage or thyme, Worcestershire sauce to taste


Potatoes - I don't care for a high calorie mash, so we just mash the spuds with the skins on, add fat-free sour cream, salt and pepper.

I don't grate cheese on top, or grill in the oven, but you can do either/both.

Oh, and how could I forget? My brother knew Steve Martin. Heck I knew Steve. I'll save those stories for wine night. Psr has some kind of a connection to him too. Her brother (?) was a friend of his I think. Correct me if I'm wrong, psr.
My sister's best friend in high school's dad was his really close friend. I'm not a big fan of Steve's due to some things involving high school and his attitude. Apparently, he's not so ashamed and p'ed off at the high school anymore, though.

mine says Western too. Makes sense, since I've only lived in CA and CO, except for 3 months in New Zealand.
