who can help me? i've heard there is a nonnie email that comes around.  how can i get put on the list?  does anyone know?

I applied to join it but never heard back from them.  I've forgotten the name of it now.

Quoted from igbogirl

Same here

maybe we should start our own

Or just keep this thread going as the Nonnie Clubhouse?

sounds good to me carol.  Are you currently on the e-mail list?

Quoted from Carol_the_Dabbler

Or just keep this thread going as the Nonnie Clubhouse?

That appears to be what some of the type B do.

One advantage of doing it here on the forum is everyone can benefit from the information sharing. Also any new nonnies can find it here.

There is a Yahoo Group called Recipes4Nonsecretors which you can find here.  Apart from a lot of great recipes and cooking tips, there is discussion about the BTD in general, with a nonnie focus.

Seeing as how none of us seems to know how to get on the existing email list, or whether there even is one now, Don has a good point.  If we do decide to keep a thread going for nonnies, then once we've decided on details, we should probably start a new thread with a more indicative title.

Yes you should, I just took a peak here out of curiousity and look what I found, felt a llittle left out of this nonnie lovefest

Laura,
You're a very important part of the nonnie Lovefest!  

Thank you Victoria, but you crazy Oregonians, you love everything, I lived there, believe me I know about you crazy people

You needn't start a new thread if you don't want to. Mandi (or a mod or admin) can change the title of this one if you would prefer...

now we have it our little nonnie discussion thread.  Lets try to keep this going for all the newbie nonnies

Got my vote.  

Debra

Quoted from lkpetrolino

Thank you Victoria, but you crazy Oregonians, you love everything, I lived there, believe me I know about you crazy people

Hey nonnie,
Are you telling me you lived in Oregon, and now live in Tennessee?
I used to live in Tennessee and now live in Oregon.  

That's WAY COOL!  

Hey, good idea to have a thread for us here.  The email list isn't very active, though it is informative and has lots of good recipes uploaded.  It's funny how much the nonsecretors have in common, regardless of their different blood types, so this is cool.  I'd love to see a book or cookbook just for nonsecretors...one day perhaps.

Melissa -- The only nonnie commonality I can think of off the top of my head is intolerance for most kinds of sugar.  Can you tell us more?

All nonnies have less IAP then their secretor counterparts.

And we all, in some way or another, have felt different from the rest of the human race, perhaps all our lives.

Am I the only one who feels this way?    Arggh!!  I'm different!!!  

it is very informative and useful having this thread for all to share!!

although I m no nonnie, I basically follow the recommendations given to nonnies.

so I hope you all will share some of the recipes and tips given in the email list .......

I was thrown out of it literally, not being a nonnie, once upon a time!! (

Don -- For the benefit of all us newbie nonnies, what does IAP stand for?  (Then if we still don't understand, we can go use that Search function that Lola's always talking about.)

Victoria -- Doesn't everyone feel like the odd one out?  I always have, but then I'm a nonnie.  Any of you folks with the visitor's passes care to share your feelings?

Lola -- You can stay, as long as you mind your manners!  

          But why do you follow the nonnie recommendations if you're not a nonnie?

I don t do well with grains or sugars........
starch in general........

feel good eating this way.

maybe I m a weak secretor!! )

Intestinal Alkaline Phosphatase......IAP

If any of you folks own a "black" light (alias ultraviolet) and are willing to spit in the name of science, please check into the "I bought my black light" thread over on Little Fishes: http://www.dadamo.com/cgi-bin/Blah/Blah.pl?,v=display,b=rost,m=1138126776.

Thanks for your reply, Lola.  How about it gang, shall we make her an honorary nonnie?

I'm in too!  One thing I have noticed about nonnies is the way we write!  We are entertaining!

Lookie!  Lookie!  Dr. D gave us our own forum!!!  We really are special!!!

Lola,  You're gonna have to post a really exceptional and phenomenal nonnie recipe for nonnie initiation!  Ha-Ha!

Great!  What should we do here?

It's cool that we got our very own nonnie forum now. I feel honored to be part of this group!  

Quoted from Victoria

And we all, in some way or another, have felt different from the rest of the human race, perhaps all our lives.

Am I the only one who feels this way?

That'd be a resounding "NO, you are not the only one who feels that way!" from me!  I've always felt extremely different from the other members of my own species.  Not sure if it is all about being a nonnie in my case, but I do believe that nonniehood is at least a player in the mix.

ummmmmmmmmm..........can I say...........ditto

When I was growing up, I used to look around at everyone, and wonder to myself how they all knew the rules to the game and I didn't.  Maybe only on a nonnie board would that make sense.

I genuinely wondered if there had been a mistake, and maybe I had been born to the wrong family or wrong town, or maybe I had been put on the wrong planet.  I felt that different.  I wasn't interested in the things others were.  I didn't have anything to say when others were talking.  I had plenty to say, but no one was interested in the things in my head.  And I had plenty of interests. They just didn't seem to be shared by anyone.

I was raised in a coal mining town in Eastern Ky.  When I was a kid, I used to do yoga poses a lot, but I had never heard of yoga.  I did shoulder stands, cobra, the bow, alternate nostril breathing.  My mother used to gather her friends around to watch me touch the soles of my feet to the top of my head.  They thought it was cute.  It wasn't until Lilias came on tv years later, that I saw that I wasn't crazy.

I hope I can join you club one day. I haven't had my status checked yet. I don't know what I would do if it came back secretor. I already give up all dairy and red meat , I don't know if I could handle giving up tomatoes. Maybe soon I will come up with the courage and money to have the test done.

thats so weird.  I've always told my husband that i'm different than most people.  must be a nonnie thing.
i'm so excited about tis post.
someone needs to start posting some recipes and other things they've noticed being a nonnie.  I'm to new to really say much now.

Quoted from Carol_the_Dabbler

Melissa -- The only nonnie commonality I can think of off the top of my head is intolerance for most kinds of sugar.  Can you tell us more?

Being a family of As and Os, there are a lot of other similarities...the sugar is the biggest one, but also tomatoes, bananas, sweet potatoes, no corn, etc.  The sugar and tomatoes can make a lot of difference in common recipes.  Beyond food though, we have similar health challenges and just the commonality of having to be more strict with our food choices, or suffer the consequences.  In a way, we're all going through a refiner's fire at much higher temperatures than other blood type dieters.

I just saw on another thread that nonnies tend to have more trouble with their teeth.  I still have virtually all of my teeth, but only a few that have no fillings.  Hubby (the suspected secretor) has no fillings at all, and even has functional wisdom teeth!

Victoria -- Whoo, yeah, me too!  I never invented yoga, but I always wanted to do things from square one, so I'd understand them fully.  Like when our art class did textile painting, most of the kids ordered a stencil out of a book, but I designed my own pattern and cut the stencil myself.  It was just a little basket of stylized flowers for the corner of a hankie, but it was mine.

A friend says, though, that nobody knows the rules, they're all just faking it....

sorry if i would look on, i would see there are other threads in this forum. duh!

Don,
you have won your entrance into this nonnie group, with your two great lists! )

let s see what I come up with to be accepted!

Quoted Text

Lola,  You're gonna have to post a really exceptional and phenomenal nonnie recipe for nonnie initiation!  Ha-Ha!

anything special you guys want?? lol

Laura,
I loved your blog today.  A tribute to nonnies!  An anthem for nonnies!
"I don't eat wheat, cause I don't secrete!"

Thanks, I love the friendship.



p.s. ok, so I'm an Oregonian and we "love" everything!    But hey!  I can think of worse traits to have!

Quoted from lola

let s see what I come up with to be accepted!


anything special you guys want?? lol

Lola,
If I could have my way, I'd like to see you drop in everyday and just visit, like a favorite neighbor!   Nonnies need "regular" people too.

Hey Lola, after all you don't eat wheat..................

Ok, here is a recipe challenge for you, I have a birthday coming up, I want to fix a meal that is not just my usual fare, spice me up Lola

Quoted from Edna

That'd be a resounding "NO, you are not the only one who feels that way!" from me!  I've always felt extremely different from the other members of my own species.  Not sure if it is all about being a nonnie in my case, but I do believe that nonniehood is at least a player in the mix.

I've always felt different even from those whose share some of my eccentricities.  But at least now I feel connected to others on this thread with my “weird” (to others) food preferences.

Quoted from Victoria

When I was growing up, I used to look around at everyone, and wonder to myself how they all knew the rules to the game and I didn't.

I felt that different.  I wasn't interested in the things others were.  I didn't have anything to say when others were talking.  I had plenty to say, but no one was interested in the things in my head

Me Too!  I am not a player at work either.  When situations force me to do so it will cause extreme stress and exhaustion on my entire system.

We need to have a nonnie's get-together at the next btd conference!  Along with a nonnie's cook-off!

Hey Victoria,

Seeing that you are from Oregon, can you recommend a fishing company who can send me some fresh wild caught salmon?  WF only has farm raised....lately anyway.  Oregon has the BEST salmon!

oooo Don shrinked our foodlists ......typical O-style to say what we've had to eat
and yes.... Peppy-Twist is right- dito all the others and until now but soon

Hey,
Let's think about Don's great bennie-for-all list and come up with a few recipes for our nonnie-clubhouse cyberparty! Post 'em on the nonnie recipe thread!

That was the reason I posted the lists.  I thought they might help kick start the process of coming up with nonnie beneficial recipes that are compliant for all nonnies.

Hey Victoria,

Seeing that you are from Oregon, can you recommend a fishing company who can send me some fresh wild caught salmon?  WF only has farm raised....lately anyway.  Oregon has the BEST salmon!

Here's the best of the best, in my opinion.  A fishing family, and great people too:

************************
Fishing Vessel Pices
Wild Pacific Chinook Salmon

[Eco-friendly, troll caught (hook & line);  Meticulous handling/quality fillet & pack; Retains heallth promoting Omega-3]

541.266-7336
541.821-7117
************************

They pack the fillets raw with a little sea salt into the lined cans.  The canning heat is what cooks the fish.  No water is added.  So delicate and tender!

They aren't a big mega-corporation, so I don't know what their shipping policy is.  I buy cases of their canned salmon, so maybe they'll ship it.  

ooo Don, you are marvellous

I will call them!  Thanks Victoria!

Good, SlyParrot.  If they ship, and you are fortunate to get some, please let me know what you think.  That stuff has become one of my favorite foods.

Hey Isa, Great to see you at the Nonnie Clubhouse!!      

Since you became a blogger, I've been missing you because I only speak English.
How are you?  Have you got the key to your new place yet?

Don,
great work!! )

It only took a couple of minutes to do.

Victoria...half of mine...holà buen dia and have an on my blogs... now I try to get em both onto the pages... one in dütsch...one in enggggglish I learnet by my other half of mine B...santé-j
and yess I did miss your communications too and therefore I'll send ya a biiiiig and soon, my dear...
I might change my flat... but must do slowly...because at this time I am working like  to get ready with all my duties.. but dearle... I am soo happy for all such gifts that I do feel as if I could work for 10... and here I know lys my *casus cnackus* not to do the same faults and getting into a step of a workaholic...yup... I know......

Isa, don t forget your breathing exercises from time to time!! )

all change is difficult but very rewarding!!

must agree and this helps me for all kind of accouchements ...even mine

OH!  Isa, I didn't know your blogs were sometimes in English!  I'll visit you over there, and look forward to talking more with you when you have time.

love, hugs and blessings  

Victoria,

The fish is on it's way to the desert!

Oh.








Please translate,........?

Quoted from slyparrot

Victoria,

The fish is on it's way to the desert!

Translation:  SP ordered some of the salmon that you recommended, and it's being shipped to her in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Fish!!   Oh, YAY!!!

I can't wait to hear what you think of it!

There's some real worries going on among the fishermer of the northwest right now.  It seems that the government is promoting fish farming on a massive scale and beginning to squeeze out the local fisherfolks.  Also hydroelectric dams are killing the wild salmon as they try to swim upstream to spawn.  It's a concern.

That irritates the **** out of me!  Leave the fish alone!  What can we do about it?

What people around here are being asked by the fisherfolks is to contact our congressmen and women and legislators.  These edicts are coming out of Washington, not the Pacific N.W.

ok I'll go for the tranlation fish begins to stink at their heads first ...even for a dessert

Hi Isa!  How are things going?  Have you slowed down long enough to tell us how you are?

A nonnie clubhouse!!!!!!  YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really think I've got more in common with the nonnies of any type than my own Type B's.  I can especially relate to the gum/teeth issues.  

Hey Victoria-

Actual answers to a 6th grade history test:
2. Moses led the Hebrew slaves to the Red Sea, where they made unleavened bread, which is bread made without any ingredients. Moses went up on Mount Cyanide to get the ten commandments. He died before he ever reached Canada.
(more later )

was this your test?  

Laura wrote:  "was this your test?  "
*****************************

No Laura,  
A friend gave me a list of 18 really funny sentences that real children had answered on real tests.  I wanted to share them with others on the forum who like to laugh, but I only have room for one at a time on my signature.  I will change them each day or two, so whoever is interested can read them all.

Quoted from Victoria

What a great idea for BTD-compliant bread!!!

Victoria,

Wow!  That fish is great!  Expensive, but great!

wow.. today's notes Moishele never saw canada and  all the other storries... oups :-/.... I think
that the newest translation of the old testament shows something complete different about the mare....
and its walks into... it was more a  marshy country he crossed ;)  ;).....and thanks for sharing the test-results

and dear Victoria... if I could as I would like to... I'll get ya about all my blah's I've to tell but bloody works keep me away from this and be happy about it ;) betterrrrr

aaannnddd dear H.Kitty..... I do feel with you...... me too,me too soon = really I am so feeded with those bloody things in my mouth... no more to go for and I don't see to pay some 40'000,--Swiss Francs.... oups my little car was not that expensive...... .....and I won't allow my dents to be more expensive then my bruuuuummm bruuuummmmm ............btw...its goes marvellous

Quoted from Carol_the_Dabbler

Isn't it the truth, Carol!!  

No avoids, no calories, no sugar, no........!!!

Quoted from slyparrot

Victoria,

Wow!  That fish is great!  Expensive, but great!

I'm glad it arrived, and that you love it!  I think it's the best I've ever eaten.  I think the shipping costs must be a lot since it's heavy.  
I just bought two more cases last night, and one of the family dropped them off here in town.  They get over here once a month or so, so fortunately I'm able to avoid the shipping.  It's made me fall in love with salmon.  I used to have a hard time eating fish.  Now I can even buy the fresh Chinook and cook it, and still enjoy it after the whole process of messing with the fish.

Bravo for the starter of the Nonnie club house! I could relate to all of your posts. Feeling different and left out when it comes to sitting down to dinner and having a piece of any kind of bread with my meal - - NOT! My husband and sister are both "Os" with a side of secretor. I see them sit with Eziekel rolls with their meals and think of how I miss the taste of fresh baked bread. Okay - I'm over that now.

I have become creative with Nori and grape leaves for making wraps with my food. I take tuna and mix with olive oil and spices to taste. I then dampen the Nori or take an Olive leaf and wrap up the tuna into a roll and either eat like that or cut into small pieces. It is wonderful and it is satisfying. I finally found grape leaves that are not in vinegar and they come from Greece. I have also found that mixing kelp in with the olive oil and some garlic gives a nice taste like a caesar dressing.

Oh by the way, the teeth issues have been with me too. This alone makes me feel different. Everyone around me has these healthy white teeth. All my back teeth have crowns and three are with root canals.    I just found out two days ago that three more teeth have issues and need to have additional work. Thank goodness for dentist or I wouldn't be able to eat the recommended meat. YIKES  

I'm so happy that this thread exists.  

I do the same thing with nori and lettuce leafs.  What kind of grape leaf (brand) are you using

They are a product of Bella Famiglia - Mediterranean Grape Leaves. Says they are harvested early in the season to ensure superior tenderness and flavor. They use salt, which I'm sure isn't sea salt but I rinse them to remove as much as I can before using.

Missy -- Before you have that dental work done, you might want to check out Isa's "About Teeth" thread:  http://www.dadamo.com/cgi-bin/Blah/Blah.pl?b=encloplib,m=1137592885.

Does anyone know if citric acid is an issue with nonnies? I couldn't find this anywhere.

The grape leaves ingredients: Grapes Leaves, water, salt and citric acid.

I believe Lola said that most citric acid is made from corn, so it could be a problem for either of us.

regardless I get sick from anything that has citric acid in it

Quoted from Carol_the_Dabbler

Carol, Thanks for the link. I read some but will read in more depth tomorrow.

Don's lists are great. It helped me with knowing what all can have no matter the blood type.

I found something at the HFS that I didn't know existed. Glutino makes Gluten Free Crackers made with flax seeds. Ingredients: Water, Whole Flax seeds and sea salt. I use these to snack on and as a filler with salads and spreads that most would use a cracker or bread. They taste pretty good.

Missy,
are those dehydrated?

Quoted from Carol_the_Dabbler

I believe Lola said that most citric acid is made from corn, so it could be a problem for either of us.

I thought citric acid came from citrus fruits.

The name comes from citrus (which is apparently where the acid was first discovered), but it's cheaper to make it from corn.

I know, bummer.

Hi Lola! Sorry I shut down and didn't get back on tonight. I'm not sure what you are asking about being dehydrated. Would you expand on your question a bit? If you are talking about the grape leaves, no they are not dehydrated. Why do you ask? Is there something more I should be aware of? Please do tell!

If you are asking about the flax seed crackers, it doesn't say anything about the flax being dehydrated. It just says whole flax seed.

I asked if the crackers were dehydrated, yes.

Lola,

The ones I have sure do look like the ones on the web link you provided. I didn't see anything on the box that said dehydrated, though.

Lola - I feel like a real dummy at the moment. I was looking at the box and realized that these are dehydrated. I mother language is English but what I recognized was "Deshydrates" on the box and then turned the box around and did see that these crackers are dehydrated at a low heat to preserve full nutritional benefit.

So YES - - these are dehydrated.
