Rainy day food

Last night we made a sausage casserole – for dinner in August. But the weather was asking for it.

So we made some stock, chopped a lot of onions, some mushrooms, potatoes and fennel-pork sausages, seasoned everything with a bit of olive oil and many a handful of an herb & fleur de sel mix I get at the market in Antibes and popped it in the oven for 40 minutes at 190C.

It was hearty and warming while the rain was, literally, pummeling the windows. So we sat in the near dark and watched vampire tv shows. It was grand.

What other foods do you like to eat when it’s grey and rainy out?

In no particular order, I like: strudel, chili, fajitas, chicken noodle soup, or a spicy Malaysian curry that will warm you up to the tips of your ears.
