Oh....you were refering to white linen tablecloths! I thought maybe you were refering to the linens they you might wear.

They will be on the keel line of the canoe, hopefully a Seliga

Now we're getting fancy.  Add a boxed wine (they do have some very respectable ones at my local Target) and some Lexan wine glasses, and you'll be wondering where the white linens are.

Try the bleu from the Faribault Caves!

WOW! You sure this isn't lunch in Minneapolis or in St.Paul
Just kidding wright5! IMO anything with blue cheese is good.

Some of our favorite lunches:

Bagel crackers, sliced pears, blue cheese.

Ultimate PB + J:
Sandwiched between either pita (or other hearty bread) or graham cracker.  Mix the first three ingredients ahead of time in a waterproof container for easier lunch prep.
-cashews
-peanut butter
-jam
-craisins or dried blueberries
-sliced strawberries

Smoked salmon, cream cheese, capers on bagel crackers.

Fruit cups, like applesauce are easy to have on hand as well.

i generally have to take care of the food for my groups because they trust me to make sure we have enough to make it through the week.

we usually end up with something along the lines of
*cheese/summer sausage for the day in lunch cuz its fast so we can keep moving
*angel hair spaghetti (in one of those cylinder containers so it doesnt break and angel hair cooks pretty quick, so its easy to time it with the fish)
*instant rice --bring chicken/beef bullion so you can mix up the flavor plus it doubles as a good hot drink if you toss some in a cup of hot water
*fruit cups-gotta hide these cuz they go fast otherwise
*muffin mix-made in an aluminum foil pan
*scalloped potatoes-- boil the potatoes till they are done, then mix the cheese powder with some water and stir it in after

I like to do a lunch of honey on bagels.
Also, if you're looing at tuna there's a couple other similar bagged fish. They're all good on crackers.
Can also get a supper small thing of mayo and a bag of chicken and have that on a bagel. Get the onion bagels and it adds a little extra flavor.
The majority of my travel lunches have something to do with a bagel because they can actually fill you and the cram good in the small pack I keep all the day use stuff in.

When I first saw the price, 2 Gal canister for $24.00, I said no way am I paying $3 per quart for Powerade.  Then after clicking the link I see it's eight 2 Gallon canisters, not one.  That's more like it.

FWIW, though, there was the following little caveat:

The purchase and use of POWERADE Powder and all other POWERADE materials from this site for residential or home use is prohibited.

I don't know how aggressively they enforce this...possibly not at all...but I figured I'd share it FWIW.
