Right now I'm getting ready to move to TN in about two to three weeks. I'm planning on having it to were I don't have a fridge in my house and use other means to preserve my food. One of the main things I'm looking into is smoking my meat then vacuum sealing it to preserve it without using a fridge. Another thing I've been looking into is that if you use mineral oil on the outside of eggs they can be kept on the table for months at a time without going bad. I'm also looking into bottling my fruits and vegetables to preserve them also. You can cook a big pot of stew and bottle it, and if done right you can put it in single serving size bottles so that you just through it into a pot to reheat then eat it. Too much of what we do now is to just through food in the fridge to preserve it but if a little extra time was given I believe everything could be preserved for months or even years with no refrigeratoration at all.
