Cinnamon French Toast with Rum and Raisin Ice Cream

This is either a very simple recipe or a complex one. It depends on how much you buy in. Serviceable brioche and fine ice creams are on sale in most supermarkets, but the intrepid will want to accomplish the entire dish themselves. They know that leftover brioche will freeze for use another day and that the investment in an ice cream machine is wasted if nothing is ever made in the thing.
