I’m generally against the slang use of the word “basic” to mean devoid of interest or nuance and, for all intents and purposes, lame. When referring to food, I think synonyms such as “fundamental” or “essential” are more fitting. My recent breakfast at Golden Harvest was proof of this point.

I’ll admit it: I’m out of touch. When a friend invited me to lunch at downtown Lansing’s La Cocina Cubana, it was my first time eating Cuban food. I didn’t even know what the difference was between Cuban and Mexican food. Nevertheless, I’m always willing to try new things.

There aren’t many exciting options around town for those looking to grab dinner after 9 p.m., but thankfully, I thought outside the pizza box last weekend and ordered some takeout from El Catrín Tacos and More with a friend.

It’s the time of year when all the produce is ready. Tomatoes, corn, squash, beans and other typical harvest crops are piling up in the fields and on farmers market tables, and even plants that petered out during the heat of summer, like spinach, lettuce and radishes, are back. All in all, it’s a great time to be hungry.
