Zanzibari Life Hacks #1: keeping meat fresh in a fridge-free world.

We've lived the last 6 months without a fridge. It's honestly not so bad: we buy veggies every couple of days, something meaty for the boys every day, nothing to it.

No worrying about meat going off on the way home; just butcher when ready! I think she'd keep for a good few days if you decided to have exotic aquarium fish or octopus instead.
