It's too hot to turn the oven on, and I don't want to stand over a stove or heat up the kitchen. So I grilled peppers, onions, sausages, and rolls for an Italian street food favorite. Maybe this qualifies for "Fair Food" as well. —ibbeachnana

Even in a small town next to us, Swansboro, features Italian sausage and peppers at the festivals throughout the year. Not a bad thing for a small Southern town, huh?

When I was not old enough to get a "real" job one summer, I worked in an Italian Sausage food truck (not as glamorous as now seen on TV!)....This brings back good memories!
