I spent the morning with Jing Project making Google videos. Who knew screencasting was free and easy!? Thanks so much to those who pointed this out. I’ve got a 5 Episode series on the way – and more ideas of other things I could do!
NERD KERF Episode I: Gmail
Including Themes, Labs and Multiple Inboxes (a little repetitive from yesterday). If you want to watch it bigger, here’s the URL: NERD KERF – Gmail I.
[Hope this embed works... If not. Click the link above. And if the video stops working, it means you guys crashed the bandwidth for Screencast.com. Sorry about that too if it happens!]
I’m feeling a little under the weather today. Kind of sneezy and headachy. Hope I’m not sick! I decided to take this opportunity to drink some Amazing Grass – Jenna swears by it as an immune and energy booster. I mixed the chocolate powder with about half a cup of skim milk and water.
For lunch I made a chicken + hummus sandwich. Sabra makes the BEST sandwich spread! On Dakota bread with ~2 tbsp sabra, shaved chicken breast, mustard and spinach -
Plus a mangled pear
I had to eat quickly because I am on the way to Winthrop early to get a TB test for my Dietetic Internship 
Then class.
Then gardening and some form of TBD workout.
See y’all for dinner.

jenna
ok anyone who can help….KATH, I know you are busy but i have to make a casserole this weekend that calls for mayo…and I hate the stuff any healthier sub. that I can replace it with????
Sabra makes the best everything; I know Jenna swears by AG, but I swear by Sabra as an everything-booser
Feel better!
I love the video!
Great Video KAth!!!
I really need to try amazing grass!
I agree – Sabra’s hummus is the BEST. My fav is the supremely spicy variety. I just found a new way to love it: mix together some spicy Sabra’s, a laughing cow cheese wedge, warm brown rice & beans. Mmm…
I need to try Amazing Grass – I keep hearing all these great things. I need to jump in that wagon asap!
I neeeed to try hummus. I can’t find it in stores so I’ve decided I’m going to make it at home.
Hope you aren’t catching anything! Either way, it’s always good to load up on the nutrients to support your immune system. Have a wonderful afternoon!
Jessica…can you try nonfat Greek yogurt? Or low fat sour cream might work too…good luck! I need mayo substitutes too since my BF detests it and swears he can taste even the tiniest amount in anything (which I think is BS but, whatever!)
I started feeling icky last week and did my favorite remedy: 1000mg Vitamin C every hour for 24 hours (when you’re awake). It has worked like a charm for me three straight years!
love the video!
have a great afternoon
TB test… doesn’t sound fun. Hope you’re day’s going well, though.
I’m not sure if I mentioned this, but I love the new profile picture!!! Classy and cute in one go.
P.s. I totally just got 130% inspired by the overnight oats combo’s and will be pursuing my Kath’s pumpkin oats project tonight! hehehehe Thanks Kath!!!
Jessica, here’s a vegan recipe for mayo.
1/2 cup of soy milk
1/4 teaspoon mustard
2 teaspoons of lemon juice
Dash of salt
1/4 teaspoon of paprika
6 teaspoons of vegetable oil
Combine the soy milk, mustard, lemon juice, salt, and paprika in a blender. Use a low setting and do not over mix. Slowly add the oil, one drop at a time. This will cause the mixture to thicken. Once all the ingredients have been added, mix until a smooth texture is achieved. As with regular mayonnaise, keep it refrigerated.
Makes about 3/4 cup.
thanks for the gmail tutorial. your mangled pear still looks pretty!
I am saving this post for later. I already made a couple of changes to my gmail since your video this morning and am loving it!
I agree, Sabra is the best.
You new profile picture is lovely, by the way!
the bread on that sandwich looks divine! love it! good luck w/ the shot today… i hate needles!

Hope you feel better!!
If you get a chance, check out some pics I took with the 50 mm lens. They turned out soooo cool. http://www.flickr.com/photos/livewell360/sets/72157622515659354/
Thanks for the heads up.

Stay well Kath!
I’m with you on the Sabra. I’ve never tasted a hummus quite as good. And to think it came from Costco!
I’m eating a mangled pear right now too. Weird.
Nerdy stuff is fun! Thanks for this. Big help!
grrr…TB tests!! I had to take one for my student teaching which I am about to start. Great lunch!
Nice video. Much easier to see this time around, except that the fullscreen shot was really a close up of the top left quadrant of the screen. Not sure if that happened to everyone but it happened to me.
I look forward to your tasks video as well as the calendar because while I take full advantage of gmail and many of its labs, those two features are still quirky to me. I need help!
I loved the first Gmail video installment, thanks so much! Is there any way you could cover checking other mail addresses through your gmail account? I tried to set up to do that last night and it was disasterous!!
Mmmm Dakota bread! My stash is gone.
So far no word on the GH to open in Mt. Pleasant. I guess I’ll have to make another trip to Charlotte.
I have been wondering about how to prepare my AG drink packets… I will have to try that same combo! Sounds good!!
YUM that looks amazing! I am dying to try the dakota bread!!
i hope your not getting sick. its that time of year, but hopefully you can get some much needed rest! drink your fluids!
Look at these fun dessert hummus ideas. Not sure if we will see anything like it in the stores but maybe could be made? Sounds fun and there are some interesting sweet/bean combos. Have a great evening!

sabra is sooooooooooooooo yummy:)
So cool about those videos!
Hope you aren’t getting sick! Why do they test you for TB for the internship?!

I used to be a HUGE fan of Sabra … I’m Israeli and mass-marketed hummus makes me happy in ways I can’t really explain, but then one day I made my own hummus and now I can never bring myself to buy a tub of the S-brand anymore. Ahhhhhh I love love LOVE hummus. You should try DIY just once! Honestly, hummus is the first thing I ever “cooked” living on my own.
Wow this comment is totally random.

Seriously can’t wait for the rest of this series. The first video was so helpful to me and I’m sure the others will be just as, or more helpful!
Thanks for doing it!!!
cool video!
question: how do you get all your blog comments on one post to be part of the same conversation? mine somehow get separated
hope you don’t get sick! seems like everyone is coming down with something now. i blame the weather, but so far, i’m pretty healthy here! *knock on wood*
must be all the nutrients!
I love healthy food but you make me want to swear off the bad stuff FOREVER!! You recipes look delicious and the photographs are outstanding!
Great video! Looking forward to the rest of them! I’ve been reading you blog for over a year, but have never commented – yours was a major inspiration to start my own! Thank you!
Feel better!
Love the video!
Your sandwich looks great – and LOL at the mangled pair, hehe.
Sheila,
GORG!
rhodeygirl,
I don’t know why it did that. Investigating!!
I know
emmy,
Do you mean forwarding your other emails to your Gmail address? If so, you have to do that at the other emails settings. Or do you mean responding with multiple email addresses?
Courtney,
Just to make sure we don’t have it!?
Ilana,
I have made my own and it is not as creamy + delicious as Sabras!! If you have a perfect recipe, I’d love to make it.
haya,
I didn’t do anything special to have it do it this way (except be a Gmail user)
I think it depends on your blog host and how the software manages comments
Allison,
Thanks for your comment!!
Kath
Thanks Kath!
Chiming in…Here is our recipe for hummus and its always a hit!
http://livewell360.com/2009/07/roasted-red-pepper-hummus/
We’ve made all kinds of different versions: chipotle, jalapeno, plain… just swap out the ingredients, using lime instead of lemon for a more Mexican-y flavor, and various different spices.
And… we’ve made homemade, soft, WARM, whole wheat tortillas to go with it: http://livewell360.com/2009/07/whole-wheat-pita-bread/
It’s not forwarding or sending mail using a different address. It says you are supposed to have your mail from other addresses rerouted to gmail. And it works. But once that happened I couldn’t figure out how to make them go into my other inboxes.
emmy,
Send me an email. I’m still not sure what you’re talking about. “Have your mail rerouted to gmail” means forwarding it from that email to Gmail. You would do that in the settings of the email you want rerouted – not in gmail. You should be able to create a filter from that account to sort them, but Gmail might not be able to distinguish between the forwarded emails and your regular ones automatically.
Kath
This is AWESOME! Thank you so much for doing this!
How do you get the little icons at the top, like the one that says “Springpad it”?
Ugh. I hate getting that TB test! The lady that gives it to me every year never tells me when she’s gonna stick me in the arm! Oh well, it’s all in the name of dietetics, right?? haha
are for women who pursue fashion. What you will find footwear trend, dating casual conversation or shoes, sandals, Christian Louboutin, you
may encounter. The first thing is to make clear what the style of clothes and show what part of your body. For example,
I love google videos! You are so not a nerd.. I do that all the time! Ranks really well in google for SEO too! and the amazing grass sounds just like that…..
