If your meat has been in the freezer longer than you can remember, you'll probably want to toss it, just to be on the safe side. If not, there are some telltale signs your food has gone bad. The meat looks discolored. There's a nasty smell coming from the packaging. The package shows signs of freezer burn (ice on the inside). Though it is possible to defrost meat without a container, you'll save yourself a lot of clean up time by using one. Typically, glass bowls are the best, safest containers to use in a microwave. If you're planning to use a plastic container, check out the original packaging to make sure it's safe for microwave use. Some other items considered unsafe for the microwave include brown paper bags, aluminum foil, and single-use plastic containers (ex: the kind that take-out food comes in). Basically, if you're not sure, don't use it. If the meat is still in its original packaging, it probably has a label that tells you exactly how much it weighs. If it doesn't, you'll need to weigh it yourself. The best tool for weighing meat is a kitchen scale, which gives more specific weights (down to fractions of a lb/kg) than bigger scales. Many materials used to package frozen meats should definitely not be microwaved, so be sure to toss everything but the meat itself before you begin cooking.

Problem: Article: It can be fun to add a bit of spontaneous movements on stage. People may get tired of watching someone simply sing. Try to add a few fun moves to your routine, like pacing on stage or gesticulating with your hands. You can try walking and then changing direction every time the speaker has a new line. This can help show you're moving through thoughts on stage. You can also try moving your hands to the rhythm of the music. While moving on stage can help, you want to make sure you're aware of your body. In order to help yourself navigate turns, try doing something called spotting. This means you focus your gaze on something off stage, like a member of the audience. This can help keep you grounded in the moment and prevent you from losing track of yourself in the excitement of the movement. You should also focus on what your body is doing. Strive to be aware of your hands and face as you sing. Avoid distracting gestures, like playing with your hair or picking at your fingers. Also, be aware of your posture. Try to stand tall when singing. Not only does this convey confidence, it can help elevate your voice. You may feel nervous on stage and shake slightly. Try to move when you feel this sensation. This can help ground you, and add a little spice to your performance. Swing your hips and do a small dance. This can help make you look like more of a performer, while simultaneously distracting you from stage fright. Try to dance to the beat of the music. Tap your feet and wiggle your shoulders slightly. It's a good idea to strive for an appropriate facial expression when singing. You don't want to be grinning during a sad song or looking weepy during a happy anthem. Try to be aware of your expression. Think about the song as you sing it. You'll be more likely to use the appropriate expression if you're really invested in the words. It may be a good idea to sing in front of a mirror in the weeks leading up to your performance. You can use the mirror to gauge whether you have a tendency to grimace or make an unpleasant face while singing.
Summary:
Incorporate spontaneity wisely. Be aware of your body. Move around when you feel yourself shaking. Be aware of your facial expression.
