In Venezuela, there are some sandwiches that we call pepitos, which generally can be meat, chicken or mixed. Generally, these are consumed in street stalls being part of what is called fast food.
To prepare them we chop the meat in small pieces and season it with oregano, black pepper and marinade. In a grill, griddle or frying pan well heated and previously greased with oil or butter, place the meat or chicken until it browns. When they are ready, take them out and let them rest.
In the company where I work we always try to make one meal a month, we have made barbecues, paella, seafood salpicones, lasagna and other types of food. This time we prepared pepitos, using two grills. We did it on the office terrace.
Due to the parallel use of these two electrical appliances, the power suddenly went out, and one of the grills burned out. We immediately went to the fuse box to raise the respective breaker with the surprise that a fuse had blown. Worst of all, both the meat and the chicken were still half cooked and everyone was extremely hungry.
It was a Saturday afternoon and the hardware stores were already closing, so it took us more than an hour to reestablish the electricity service after the purchase of the fuse. After this fact and with only one grill available we finished cooking the meat and chicken to prepare the pepitos.
We laughed and proceeded to take a picture with the respective bottle of wine that was given to us by our boss.

The idea of these meals in the company is to strengthen ties between us, sharing and discussing in a friendly way some outstanding event that has happened to us in our workday, almost always these culinary meetings we do it on a Saturday.
From this experience we learned something: we should not use two appliances of high electrical consumption (grills) finger we run the risk of electrical overload, damage any of the devices and even blow a fuse that could leave us hours without light.
