Recipe for Sticky, Gooey, Bread Thingy with Egg on it

Haven't done a recipe in a while. Here it is.

Some fresh peaches. "Some" is relative, meaning how many relatives are you planning on feeding. You figure it out. Pretty much the same fo the other ingredients.
Skin the slippery little suckers and slice from around the pit -there are no bonus points for symmetrey.

(I used a potato peeler, it doesn't take that long so stop whining)

Set them in a bowl of cold water with a dash of vinegar in it. (So they don't turn brown - which
probably wouldn't matter anyhow)

Throw a packed cup of brown sugar and a stick of butter and two Tbls (that means "tablespoon" for the rookies) of water into a sauce pan on low heat. It'll foam up a bit so stir it whenever you think of it. After 8 minutes toss in a half shot of something - Jamaican Brown Rum is good (Yes, I know, children will be eating this - but the alcohol burns off, leaving just the taste - so relax super-mom). Stir some more. Stop after 10 minutes. DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT STICK A SPOON FULL OF THIS ON YOUR TONGUE TO SEE HOW IT TASTES. Its good, take my word for it. ITS ALSO HOTTER THAN HELL.

Slice french bread into 3/4 inch slices. Whisk 5 eggs in a bowl with a teaspoon of vanilla.
Pour the brown sugar sauce into a baking dish. Toss in the peaches and stir it all around.
Lay the french bread on top of the peach gooey stuff. Drizzle the egg mixture over the french bread. Sprinkle ground cinnamon over the bread.

You are supposed to set this in the fridge over night. I say the hell with it. Tried it both ways, doesn't change the taste. Why bother?

Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.

Its not supposed to go well with sugar cured bacon and more eggs . . . . . . . . . . . but it does.

I got out of mowing the lawn today and get to go play outside with the Harley.
