Elegant Jungle Roses for Breast Cancer Survivors

Inspired by her own fight with breast cancer, Londy Child, the owner of the very elegant company, Jungle Roses, developed the “Pink in the Jungle” rose package designed to be sent to breast cancer survivors, fighters and those who love them. It includes one dozen special light pink roses, a tiny pink ribbon charm with Swarvosky crystals and a pink ribbon decal on the outside of the box.  Profits from this special package will be donated to cancer care and research.  You can read about Ms. Child’s experiences in treatment and as a survivor in her blog at  http://jungleroses.blogspot.com.

M-J’s Elegant Eggs Vienna: 3 Sources of Protein and Choline

M-J de Mesterton’s Eggs Vienna Recipe

This Dish Features Three Sources of Choline

An old friend of mine used to make this dish for me in the 1970s. I had published my recipe for the unusual breakfast offering on Elegant Survival in 2006; it was for a long time the only recipe for Eggs Vienna on the internet. I shall reconstruct it here at Elegant Cuisine:

Eggs Vienna for Two

Prepare four slices of streaky American-style bacon until they are crisp. Poach two eggs in two cups of boiling milk, until they are soft. Toast two slices of white bread or English muffins, then butter them. When all three components are ready, place one piece of  toast in each of  two soup-bowls. Place two slices of  bacon on top of each piece of toast, then top that with a poached egg. Pour the remaining hot milk, in which the eggs have been poached, into each bowl.

Eggs, Bacon and Milk are Good Sources of Choline, which, when Ingested by Pregnant Women,  Contributes to the Intelligence of Babies, and for Everyone Else, It Helps to Prevent Heart Disease
