Vegan Salsa Verde Enchiladas

I mowed my lawn with hedge trimmers this weekend.

I suppose mow is the wrong verb. I ~freshened~ it up.

Garrett was gone and the lawn was very lush and our HOA is on steroids so I got a little panicky. I had to do something!

I spent about 22 hours weighing the pros and cons of starting the actual lawn mower. There were no pros, only cons. These include: amputating my own foot, losing control of it and it driving away from me, scalping the grass so badly I pull it all out and we have a bald yard, and running over Topanga, to name a few. I simply couldn’t do it. I made like 7 trips to the garage to will the mower to become less menacing, and I only successfully raised my BP. My original plan B was to use kitchen scissors, but I thought that could take a while. That’s when it happened – when I spotted the hedge trimmers! To town I went!

    The man opposite and to the left of us in Massachusetts uses nail scissors in the dead of night. He watches the grass grow and then he rushes out and clips the offender dead in it’s tracks. The man next door to him and immediately opposite us finds dead mice and throws them in our driveway and then pretends he knows nothing about them. That they just roll over and die for no particular reason in the same place daily. God Bless America you are collectively certifiable 🇺🇸

    It could be worth… You could have used the lawn mower to get the hedge, even if it is a bit more tricky… But it is known to have been done in our parts. I have said too much already. I haven’t had enchiladas in well, at least 20 years, yours sounds refreshingly delicious, I can certify that! 😉 😀
