Is there anything a hot enchilada can’t fix? I’m serious. Please email me right now if you can think of something—barring serious injury, death, or misplacing your lucky pair of underwear—that cannot be solved by warm corn tortillas stuffed with love and smothered in red sauce and cheese (like, all the cheese available, and then more cheese on top of that, and then a hot sauce on top of that). The Lioness Club of Cayucos knows what’s up. Their annual enchilada sale is a community gem, and now you’re in on it, too. So, get on it! Order your enchiladas before Oct. 6 and rest assured that you’ll be able to tackle an entire winter of weeknight dinner dilemmas, missed connections, and whatever else the world decides to throw at you.
Pick up at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Cayucos, Saturday, Oct. 20, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.; Package of two homemade enchiladas (beef, chicken, or cheese) is $10; tray of 12 for $55; larger orders accepted; Proceeds benefit swimming lessons for all Cayucos School students, Hardie Park Pool equipment, trade and academic scholarships for Cayucos graduating seniors, and more. Place your order at (805) 995-1432. Δ
