RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] The present application is a continuation-in-part application of U.S. provisional patent application, Ser. No. 60/622,554, filed Oct. 26, 2004, included by reference herein and for which benefit of the priority date is hereby claimed. FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention relates to a pouch and, more particularly, to an enclosed, washable, plastic-lined pouch that folds closed or hangs open from horizontal bars. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] Since individuals and families spend so much time away from home, in places like school, work or in a vehicle, there is the need to take pouches full of things with one. There are many different reasons for needing to take things with one. Some of these reasons being to nourish one when food is not readily available. While at school children bring a bag lunch. While at work one may be too busy to leave their workplace to get food. When in the vehicle there may not be a place to stop and readily get food. When traveling with children, who have limited patience, it becomes important to have food available. In all of these examples it is important to have access to food that one is able to bring from home. [0004] Commonly used ways of bringing food along when away from home include using disposable, plastic bags that seal. Another commonly used item is the plastic bowl or cup that has a lid. [0005] The previous items that were used to store food for travel away from home were lacking in a number of areas. One area that the disposable, plastic bags were lacking in was that they were disposable and thus wasteful and harmful to the environment. Those bags are also made from a thin plastic and once torn or ripped become a choking hazard to a young child. Those bags are also not able to attach and hang open from a horizontal bar, such as a stroller or shopping cart handle bar. In the case of the plastic bowl or cup with a lid once those have been used they are not easy to store and keep until one returns home to clean them. Also in the case of those plastic bowls or cups they are hard plastic and if thrown are potentially dangerous in the hands of young children. Those plastic bowls or cups are also not able to hang open from a horizontal bar, such as a stroller or shopping cart handle bar. [0006] It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a container for food. [0007] It is another object of the invention to provide a washable, reusable, enclosed container for food. [0008] It is another object of the invention to provide a container for food that can wrap around a horizontal bar and hang open for easy access to contents. [0009] It is another object of the invention to provide a container for food that when full will fold over itself and keep the contents from spilling out. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0010] In accordance with the present invention, there is provided an enclosed, plastic-lined washable pouch with a closure. This pouch has the ability to fold over itself to prevent spillage of contents and it is able to open fully and the top portion will wrap around a horizontal bar to hang open so contents are easily accessible. When closed the pouch looks like an envelope from the front side and from the back is completely enclosed. When full the pouch is a compact size and when empty it will lay flat or fold up for easy storage. The pouch is made of material and lined in plastic for food storage.
