I boiled some boneless beef pork ribs for about 20 min--per my mother who is THAT southern cook. She says that makes them tender and takes the fat off (which it did--gross!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I mixed some of my favorite bbq sauce, brown sugar and a little garlic in a bowl. Put the ribs in a baking dish, poured the sauce on top and covered them with aluminum foil.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They are in the oven now and smelling mighty yummy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A little mac and cheese (Velvetta tonight) and some fresh green beans and it's a wrap.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Happy eating!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox Elise&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8934318943857365796-2735008561331058566?l=essentiallyelise.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8934318943857365796/posts/default/2735008561331058566'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8934318943857365796/posts/default/2735008561331058566'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://essentiallyelise.blogspot.com/2010/08/whats-for-dinner-oven-baked-bbq-ribs.html' title='What&apos;s for Dinner: Oven Baked BBQ ribs'/><author><name>FashionForward</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8934318943857365796.post-4267490205381098622</id><published>2010-08-03T18:42:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2010-08-03T18:44:22.553-04:00</updated><title type='text'>How sassy is she?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_cmjuurnoSu8/TFibaJlCZ7I/AAAAAAAABfU/ypKbGGtI_dw/s1600/Picture_24.png"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 273px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501317818383230898" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_cmjuurnoSu8/TFibaJlCZ7I/AAAAAAAABfU/ypKbGGtI_dw/s400/Picture_24.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8934318943857365796-4267490205381098622?l=essentiallyelise.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8934318943857365796/posts/default/4267490205381098622'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8934318943857365796/posts/default/4267490205381098622'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://essentiallyelise.blogspot.com/2010/08/how-sassy-is-she.html' title='How sassy is she?'/><author><name>FashionForward</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_cmjuurnoSu8/TFibaJlCZ7I/AAAAAAAABfU/ypKbGGtI_dw/s72-c/Picture_24.png' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8934318943857365796.post-4317417147006739362</id><published>2010-08-01T23:20:00.004-04:00</published><updated>2010-08-01T23:27:10.299-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Shopping'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Burke&apos;s'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='studded cuff'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cheap accessories'/><title type='text'>Another great find..</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_cmjuurnoSu8/TFY5iWsBzYI/AAAAAAAABfM/SV7geMJaJRg/s1600/IMG00031-20100727-2103.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5500647257248222594" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_cmjuurnoSu8/TFY5iWsBzYI/AAAAAAAABfM/SV7geMJaJRg/s400/IMG00031-20100727-2103.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; I found this cuff at Burke's. $3.99&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I pay a lot of money for suits and a decent amount for shoes.

Hers were a big kitchen, a big backyard and dual showerheads. Dual showerheads...what?!! Nevermind, I don't want to know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well throughout my blog, you will notice my slight obsession with closets. That obesession increased after my big move to Unit #M. While the condo is a great investment, the closet space &lt;strong&gt;SUCKS&lt;/strong&gt;!!!!!! This is my master closet:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_cmjuurnoSu8/TBujFVsugqI/AAAAAAAABXE/H1SOUo4bqyo/s1600/blog+013.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5484156283373126306" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_cmjuurnoSu8/TBujFVsugqI/AAAAAAAABXE/H1SOUo4bqyo/s400/blog+013.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cmjuurnoSu8/TBui7pyAVFI/AAAAAAAABW8/THW11ErDetU/s1600/blog+012.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5484156116965282898" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cmjuurnoSu8/TBui7pyAVFI/AAAAAAAABW8/THW11ErDetU/s400/blog+012.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; You can't see the shelves that have been installed and the boxes and boxes of shoes stacked on the floor. The over-the-door hanger was an Ikea find to store the shoes without boxes. The guest closet is about the same size and it's also at capacity.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So to get back to my original thought. Big closet--an absolute must. There should be shelves and drawer space, ample lighting and a place for me to sit. Yes...I want that kind of closet. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My other two must haves: an open kitchen-living space (for entertaining) and a master shower large enough for a 6'5" man and a 5'9" woman to fit into at the same time;) That's all.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8934318943857365796-8920597408788413854?l=essentiallyelise.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://essentiallyelise.blogspot.com/feeds/8920597408788413854/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8934318943857365796&amp;postID=8920597408788413854&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8934318943857365796/posts/default/8920597408788413854'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8934318943857365796/posts/default/8920597408788413854'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://essentiallyelise.blogspot.com/2010/06/closet-freak-1-of-my-closets.html' title='Closet Freak: 1 of my closets'/><author><name>FashionForward</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_cmjuurnoSu8/TBujFVsugqI/AAAAAAAABXE/H1SOUo4bqyo/s72-c/blog+013.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8934318943857365796.post-4440998610862237965</id><published>2010-06-18T12:34:00.005-04:00</published><updated>2010-06-18T12:45:02.001-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='facebook'/><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cmjuurnoSu8/TBuhi83b-DI/AAAAAAAABW0/zAfgrjVLwh0/s1600/facebook_logo.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 120px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5484154593079982130" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cmjuurnoSu8/TBuhi83b-DI/AAAAAAAABW0/zAfgrjVLwh0/s320/facebook_logo.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;color:#000099;"&gt;I will be the first to say that I love FaceBook.

But why oh why are there still so many more people trying to get a peek at my personal page. Little do they know, I don't have any crazy pictures of me actin a fool or any sexy swimsuit pictures..the pictures that I post are carefully thought out and only give you a glimpse inside my personal life.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Courier New;font-size:130%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Courier New;font-size:130%;color:#000099;"&gt;In a matter of 3 days I had more than 35 new friend requests--and at least 30 of them are from men. ***creepy***&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Courier New;font-size:130%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Courier New;font-size:130%;color:#000099;"&gt;So this morning, me and my crazy gay guy friend/self-proclaimed stylist did an overhaul of my FB page. It's hilarious. He changed my profile picture and my name. Then he went through and named ALL of my friends and if I couldn't tell him who they were, he deleted them. It was so fun and now maybe I won't be so creeped out by FB.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8934318943857365796-4440998610862237965?l=essentiallyelise.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://essentiallyelise.blogspot.com/feeds/4440998610862237965/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8934318943857365796&amp;postID=4440998610862237965&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8934318943857365796/posts/default/4440998610862237965'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8934318943857365796/posts/default/4440998610862237965'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://essentiallyelise.blogspot.com/2010/06/fb-drama.html' title=''/><author><name>FashionForward</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cmjuurnoSu8/TBuhi83b-DI/AAAAAAAABW0/zAfgrjVLwh0/s72-c/facebook_logo.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8934318943857365796.post-8298866157290434658</id><published>2010-06-18T12:32:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2010-06-18T12:34:07.420-04:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cmjuurnoSu8/TBufx68_7KI/AAAAAAAABWk/qBY8624x-_8/s1600/00027_M_rect640.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5484152651241221282" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cmjuurnoSu8/TBufx68_7KI/AAAAAAAABWk/qBY8624x-_8/s400/00027_M_rect640.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;I am on a quest to find these picture frames.

Well, semi-single (until I have a ring on it..you know the rest).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just had one of those moments. I loaded the dishwasher, grabbed dinner out of the fridge--tonight it's yogurt w/a little granola on top, and I lit a candle in the kitchen, trimmed the fresh flowers I bought a few days ago, all while being super careful not to mess up my freshly polished nails.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 275px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 275px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483909879641620594" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_cmjuurnoSu8/TBrC-wRLQHI/AAAAAAAABV8/gf0axQtOtRU/s400/essie-sugar-daddy-polish.jpg" /&gt; &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Essie: Sugar Daddy&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;As I walked down the hallway to my bedroom, I picked up my bottle of "Light Blue" that's been sitting on the wet bar for a few days, stepped over my cute new 9West sparkly peep toe pumps, and flopped down on my pillow-laden queen sized bed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483910093860232418" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cmjuurnoSu8/TBrDLOS33OI/AAAAAAAABWE/o4ZDcWnEB9Q/s320/02640439506.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;These are things that I will soon not be able to enjoy on a regular basis.

It's been weeks since my last post. And after making some new friends in the blog world, I fell so guilty about not keeping up my site.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, here's what's been going on over the past few weeks....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#1 Sex in the City II - I didn't get dolled up to go see the movie. I didn't go with a bunch of girlfriends. Instead, I went to the theatre in my fabulous cropped jeans, black wife beater, statement necklace and flats. I grabbed my big Coach bag (filled it with goodies) and went to the matinee. Now, I tried not to pay any attention to the reviews--but I heard mumblings about "how bad it was." It was SOOOO not bad! The movie wasn't great but it fulfilled my expectations of fashion, sex, love, family and glamour.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;#2 Work - Let's just say the dynamics of work are changing. For the past six years I have dedicated a lot.... A LOT of time to my career. That career has allowed me to meet so many successful people and now I am transitioning into the next phase of my life. I am setting myself up to be my own boss. So the past few weeks have been spent trying to nail down one big contract and a much smaller one that will boost my income by a little more than A LOT!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330000;"&gt;#3 Family - My family dynamic is taxing these days. I think that your family as a whole has its ups and downs. This is a down moment. There is just a lot of expectations from certain family members right now and I am not willing to commit.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;#4 Love - Speaking of commit... whew, this love train is bumpy to say the least. Lately, me and The Mister have been playing the blame game about the smallest things ever. It's getting old and I'm over it and so is he... BUT we are not over us. So, we are weighing our options so we can give this love train its annual tune-up and make things work. But can I tell you, OMG, I am about to pull all of my hair out!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;#5 Unit M - The condo is simply fabulous!!!!!!!!! It is now about 95% complete. You may remember my complaining about the hoge poge of things that ended up in my bedroom. Well this week I made it werk! Pics to come. It's super pretty...and super romantic. The Mister hasn't seen or heard about it yet. If he acts right, maybe he can stay the night;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's all for this post. It's already way to long. So put me back on your regular blogroll. I will make it up to you. I promise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~Elise&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8934318943857365796-5366985079240160270?l=essentiallyelise.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://essentiallyelise.blogspot.com/feeds/5366985079240160270/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8934318943857365796&amp;postID=5366985079240160270&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8934318943857365796/posts/default/5366985079240160270'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8934318943857365796/posts/default/5366985079240160270'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://essentiallyelise.blogspot.com/2010/06/sorry-sorry-sorry.html' title='sorry, sorry, sorry...'/><author><name>FashionForward</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8934318943857365796.post-8013005556526030713</id><published>2010-05-22T09:05:00.004-04:00</published><updated>2010-05-22T09:09:53.725-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='solo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sex'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='stilettos'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sex in the City'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='movies'/><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Good Saturday morning blog world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;It's been a long week.

But I've been busy, busy, busy.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;This time last week, I added another notch under my education belt. Yes, I graduated from Tulane University! Now I'm ready for what's next. I have some things in mind. I will keep you posted in the coming weeks.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;As for today, I'm watching season 6 of Sex in the City.
