brunch #9: french toast with jam, lime curd, cream chese plus watermelon, hot tea, and tamarind mimosas,

brunch #9! From the first sunday of May. This one was normal french toast with an assortment of toppings (from B’s love of condiments): strawberry jam, blackberry jam, lime curd, cream cheese, and honey. We also used peanut butter, if I remember correctly. The real amazement comes when you use at least two of these condiments at once on one piece of toast.

making mimosas (duh, a brunch staple) with tamarind juice. We drank tamarind juice all summer because….we went to the Asian market a lot? And tamarind juice is just the right amount of novelty. We could, if we wanted to, call it the summer of Tamarind Juice.

the whole spread. It was amazing. There was a lot of french toast. (We used challah for the french toast, by the way, and added cinnamon to the egg soak mixture.)

If you’re wondering about recipes, don’t: french toast isn’t hard and B freestyled the whole thing. Really, crack a bunch of eggs, whisk with a little milk and cinnamon if you love cinnamon (like N), cut VERY THICK slices of toast, soak, and cook them on a hot pan for a while. Add condiments of your choice and voila!
