Cinnamon Plums with French Toast

Tuesday is definitely my breakfast day. On other days, my breakfast is normally just a cup of coffee. Not because I don't like eating in the morning... Let's not be silly, I like eating at any time of the day, you should really know that by now, but I like sleeping too. And let's not forget, there's always lunch, after-lunch snack, dinner and after-dinner snack... As horrible as it sounds, I don't mind missing that one meal.

But on Tuesday, I call it my study-day because today is the day when I am at uni studying, I have the day off work and since study time starts in the afternoon, I have the whole morning for myself and the extra time to cook breakfast.

I have some leftover stale brioche from the coconut bread pudding, so I recycled them into French toast and they are served with sharp and sticky cinnamon-y plum compote. The plums are cooked in sugar syrup made with cranberry juice, sugar and a cinnamon stick. Yum.

OK. I am off to learn something now... Have a nice day.

(I'm thinking...What's for lunch....?)

    LOL...I think about food non-stop! Chris laughs at me because as soon as we are done eating dinner I turn to him and say, so what do you think we should have tomorrow night? He just groans and holds his stomach, I don't get it :)
    Anyway...this looks like a wonderful breakfast, Michael! No wonder you like Tuesdays so much! I bet those plums not only taste wonderful but smell amazing! Have fun learning!

    For some reason, I can't eat anything sweet for breakfast. Odd, I know. But for lunch? I'm all over this!

    I'm not a big fan of plums, probably a hint of cinnamon can change my mind.

    I swear, every time I am looking at a recipe in Nigella's book, you go and post it within a day or two! How funny. I would actually eat breakfast if these were on the table. Like you, I would rather sleep through breakfast but I can almost smell those cinnamon plums from here. Fabulous!

    That looks incredibly good! Brioche makes the best french toast and the plums are simply delectable!
