okay so keeping stuff cold last year was a total fail. so was the prospect of cooking and doing camp dishes. we ate a lot of vendor food, and i think we are heading that way again this coming year.
i'm also looking into nonperishables, things that don't require a cooler. dry goods, fruit, tuna, spam/vienna sausages, etc. i'm thinking that if it gets cool again like it did this past year something hot might be nice to have available and cheap, since we will be bringing our little party grill for marshmallows and stuff.
the thing is i want to get away from having to do a bunch of dishes. if we get stuff like soup and chef boyardee things and baked beans or whatever, we'd need a pot to warm it up in, plus three bowls and three utensils to eat it with. sucky.
is there any way around this? is there a clever way to heat up canned stuff in the can or is this just a recipe for third degree burns and cold-in-the-middle soup? i was thinking paper plates/bowls, but i hate to create that much waste. i don't think the regular stuff you get in the store is compostable like the vendor stuff. anyone know where i might find something moe environmentally friendly but still disposable?

I didn't know the vendor stuff in centeroo was compostable until the last day. I even asked the people by the recycling bins and they said it was trash. Weird.

Have you tried sterno as a heat source? Also, some canned foods aren't that bad cold. Try spaghettio's next time.
What I learned from my camping buddies this year was to stick the canned item you would like to eat warm in on your dashboard of your car. Wait a while in that Tennessee heat and it'll be good to go. Maybe not steaming, but certainly warm.

Sun-steamed-dashboard-spaghettios, served luke-warm....yummy
we cooked beans and soup on the grill in the can last year. While our brats were cooking we just put the can on there, stirred it now and then, and they were all hot...
we bought leather gloves from WalMart for $2 or something to handle the grill so we just used that to eat with, right from the can...
We also depended heavily on canned fruit, Tuna, soups, peanut butter, bananas, and trail mix to get us from waka to ROO last year; I think i ate more than my other 4 years doing ROO combined!
*i like coconuts, you can break them open they smell like ladies lyin in the sun** *Hell I don't even know where I am** *for now I must sit here and ponder the yonder: The herbivores did well cause their food didn't never run** *We listen, if it feels good We shake** *You made a big impression for a girl of your size, Now I can't get by without you and your big brown eyes.**
