So the check I was waiting for did not arrive, so I get to be all creative with tonight's snacks. Should be fine. Tortilla chips, black bean dip, edamame, a loaf or two of fresh bread (loaf #1 is in the machine now), some kettle corn, some soup to go with the bread. I actually kind of like the game of "what can I make with what I have in the pantry".

In the right mood, yes that can be a good game. What is kettle corn?

Kettle corn is that lightly-sweet and still salty popcorn that often appears at (US-ian, anyway) street fairs and farmers' markets. Essentially, you cook popcorn in oil in a pot (as opposed to microwaving or air-popping it), and then the second the corn starts to pop, you throw in a couple tablespoons of sugar, and it makes a very light glaze on the popped corn. You salt it when it's done. Addictive stuff, seriously.
