Oh, this could be fun.
I've had couscous often, but I've never been to North Africa or Morocco where the dish is said to originate.

I've never been spelunking. Nor have I, Step. And after seeing "The Descent", any tiny urge I had to give it a try is gone! I have never changed a diaper - remarkable, since I have two nieces. |

I've never been spelunking either, (heck, I couldn't even spell it except for the fact it's written there, right in front of me).
I've changed plenty of diapers though, and trust me, Siren, you are not missing out at all!
I have never grilled anything.

You are soooo lucky! I have. Apparently it’s not good to feed onions, garlic, and stink weed to babies. I’m sure that’s what the parents fed my god-daughter before they wanted me to change her diaper. (They had an evil streak.)
Really? Not even hubby when you thought he'd been to cahoots? Or LX or BP when you thought they were keeping secrets?
"Why'd you take LX to Cahoots??!!"
"Because they have great French Flies there and you know how she loves them."
I've never had an Appaloosa.

I suppose I should clarify then. I have never grilled anything outdoors (lest the neighbors are being nosy).
I have also never whistled. Despite Lauren Bacall's famous instructions, I just can't do it.

I have never been on TV - although Steppet and 50% of the people in the world HAVE been on TV at some time.

Hi, Ellie. I was kinda surprised when I listed where I haven't been to find how many states I HAVE visited. One I really, really want to get to someday is Maine. I think it'd been so fun to go to a lobster broil on the beach, and I'd be completely awestruck to see a whale on one of those whale watching excursions.
I've never been to a lobster broil, or seen a whale swimming in the ocean.

Wow! Really? You are missing out on some great fun, my friend. It's the uphill part that's a drag....literally...especially if you're pulling someone.
I have never eaten split-pea soup.

Yeah - I had a sled, but I didn't even know anyone who had a toboggan. Not that I can remember. We used to sled down a steep hill more than in snow - maybe that's why.
I've never been in a horse drawn carriage.

Having reread it, I can understand why. The hill was a street - compacted snow to the point of being ice. The sleds were better on the hard surfaces I guess, and the lookout at the bottom told you when to go so you didn't have problems with a car. The sled wasn't so hot in deep snow but it was great on the surfaces where I was using it. If you had a problem you could steer it some - such as to the side of the road.

I've never had a phone conversation with someone in Iowa....
...before today, that is.
Looking for somewhere to put this and ended up here, just cuz talking to someone in Iowa was kind of fun, (I thought we used to have a people thread in here at one time, but I think I was the only one who posted in it).
I got an e-mail from the magazine editor saying my last article generated some great feedback, (Whew! I took creative liberty with this one, and pretty much didn't write anything to do with the assignment, except in the very broadest sense). Anyway, someone had called the magazine wanting to know where he could find a certain variety of hot pepper seeds (the article was, if you can't guess, about hot peppers; it wasn't supposed to be on hot peppers). Could I call him with the information? He didn't have Internet service.
Sure, what the heck. <shrugs> Called and got his wife - the sweetest, old lady; she was 80 years old. I know she was 80 because we had nearly a 30 minute conversation, just about this and that. I never did get around to talking with her husband, the pepper seed inquirer - he was out planting his garden. I gave the wife the information he was looking for, and after that formality was out of the way, we talked about all kinds of stuff.
People from Iowa seem a friendly sort...at least the sweet, little old ladies are. Arizona too - I once talked to a little, old lady from there. That time, I misdialed the phone number and ended up talking to her just about the same length of time as I did today's old lady.
(Edited this morning because I so should not write anything at night when I'm tired. In the light of day, even I did not completely understand where the heck I was going with this post.)

I can't say I'm completely understanding this sentence. Step, I thought you were going to say you did your sledding in the summer on a steep hill, sliding on tall grass. That's what we country kids did, using a sheet of cardboard as a sled. The dam on our farm pond was quite steep, and was covered in long Johnson grass. Really slick, and really fun. I have never been skiing, either on water or snow. |

It wasn't exactly the most well written sentence was it. The area where I grew up was fairly flat - very few hills of any sort. Sledding meant taking a running start and going down the street as far as you could glide - unless you went to one of just a couple of steep streets. The city would "accidentally" drop a couple bales of hay at the bottom of a hill in our area and we'd spread it around. The hay was supposed to slow us down enough to keep us from killing ourselves. It usually worked too! So, if you wanted to go more than a few feet, you went sledding down a steep hill instead of just (on the level) in the snow.
I've never had a papaya.
