My plan was to cook chicken Italian sausages on the grill and serve them with a side salad.  Well, when I went out to turn the grill down from high to medium, I must have turned off the gas too.  I don't remember doing it, but when I went out to turn the sausages, the flame was out.  Geez...talk about a dinner fail.  The other thing that was weird was that the sausages were sprinkled what I thought was paint flakes from the inside of the grill.  Not wanting to risk ingesting paint, I brought the sausages inside, took the casings off, and browned the ground sausage in a frying pan.  

After the sausage was cooked, I added a couple eggs and cheddar cheese to make a large omelet.  Ben did some research after dinner and found out that the black flakes on the inside of the grill cover were carbon and not paint.  We've brushed the rest of the flakes off and will resume our normal grilling.
