Problem: Article: Assuming your milk was fresh when you froze it, its "freshness" should be almost the same after thawing it. Thus, most thawed milk is good for drinking and using in cooking projects for about a week after thawing. Though its appearance and consistency may be slightly different, it should still be safe to consume. Note that if your milk wasn't fresh when you froze it, it won't be fresh thawed, either. In other words, thawed milk that was only a day or two from spoiling when you froze it will be in roughly the same state when it's thawed. It's worth noting that  you don't have to shake the milk by hand to redistribute the fat. Using a mechanical solution like a blender or food processor, for instance, allows you to quickly and easily agitate the milk for a smoother, more even texture. This can also help you break up any ice chunks remaining in your milk, which can be a surprise if they aren't discovered before you start drinking. Thawed milk can sometimes have a different "feel" than ordinary milk — it's sometimes described as being slightly chunky and watery by comparison. Though thawed milk is perfectly safe to drink, these qualities can make it difficult for some to drink. On the other hand, thawed milk is usually an excellent substitute for fresh milk in cooking and baking projects where its altered texture is difficult or impossible to detect.
Summary: Serve within 5-7 days of thawing. Alternatively, use a blender. Don't be put off by a slightly different texture.

Problem: Article: Using your hands, thoroughly mix the ground beef with approximately 3/4 tsp (3.75 ml) salt and 1/2 tsp (2.4 ml) ground black pepper.  Add more or less salt according to taste. The same goes for the black pepper, as well. If desired, you can use a separate hamburger spice blend or other seasonings that you enjoy tasting in your burgers, like garlic powder or chili powder. Make sure that the seasonings you choose will complement both the beef and the cheese, though. Break the chunk of ground beef into four even, separate pieces. Roll these portions into balls. These “balls” of hamburger need to be pressed together firmly so that the meat is dense and able to adhere to itself. When using this technique, you cannot afford to have crumbly burger meat. Use your thumb to indent the middle of each ball. The indentation should be deep enough to reach the center of the ball. Alternatively, you could also use the handle end of a wooden or plastic mixing spoon to form the indentation. Fill each indentation with roughly 2 Tbsp (30 ml) shredded cheddar cheese. Use your fingers to smooth the top of the beef over the exposed indentation, hiding the cheese in the center as you do so. Cheddar cheese is recommended by default, but you can get creative by trying other types of cheese, as well. You can even stick small wedges or cubes of cheese in the center of the burger as long as they fit and are roughly equivalent to 2 Tbsp (30 ml) of shredded cheese. Use your hands or a burger mold to flatten the filled burger balls into patties. For these burgers, it might be easiest to form the patties using your hands. You could still work with some sort of patty press or mold, though. Line the mold with plastic wrap, press the stuffed patty ball into it, and flatten out the meat until it fills the mold. Wrap these patties in plastic wrap or an airtight plastic bag and store them in the refrigerator for a minimum of 30 minutes before taking them out and cooking them.
Summary: Mix the beef and spices. Form four balls. Create an indentation. Pack cheese into the center and close. Flatten into patties. Store the patties until ready to use.

Problem: Article: Instead of giving her something she'll set on her shelf, try giving her something you can go out and do. Whether it's something you both love or something you don't like as much but she does, it will make an unforgettable gift. For instance, try getting tickets to a musical or play. Alternatively, you could buy tickets for a local symphony. For instance, try getting her into a painting class if she's always loved painting. Alternatively, you both could try a beer-brewing class together if she loves beer, which could turn into a life-long passion. Just make sure it's something she's passionate about, which you should know from paying attention to what she says and does. Even a short jaunt to a cabin nearby can be romantic under the right conditions. It doesn't have to be super expensive, as long as you think about what you your girlfriend likes. For instance, if she isn't super outdoorsy, take her for small getaway in a nearby city or quaint small town.  For an even smaller getaway, try staying one night at a fancy hotel in town.  Another option is a "staycation." Basically, you both take a day off from work and make fun plans in the city you live in. For instance, you could make her a picnic and go to a park or go to a concert at the botanical gardens.
Summary: Try picking something you can do together. Consider giving her a more long-term experience. Try a small trip.

Problem: Article: If you’re taking gas (like helium) from a tank, place the lip of the balloon tightly over the nozzle and fill it up. Or, if you want to measure air, just blow up the balloon using your mouth. Tie the end of the balloon in a tight knot when you’re done. Wrap a cloth tape measure around the center of the balloon to check its circumference. To get the radius of your inflated balloon, place a ruler on each side of the center of the balloon, measure the distance between them, and divide it in half. For instance, you place your balloon between two rulers and find that the distance is 10 centimetres (3.9 in). Divide this in half to get the radius, 5 centimetres (2.0 in). Plug in your measurements into the basic formula for the volume (V) of a sphere, V = 43πr3{\displaystyle {\frac {4}{3}}\pi r^{3}}. Plug the radius into the formula to get your sum. For instance,: V = 43π53{\displaystyle {\frac {4}{3}}\pi 5^{3}}, or about 523.33 cm3{\displaystyle ^{3}} or 206.04 in3{\displaystyle ^{3}}. Place the lip of a balloon over a faucet and carefully run water into it. Stop when the balloon is the same size as the balloon filled with gas. If you accidentally put too much water in, carefully pour some out.  It will be difficult to get the balloons to exactly the same size. To be more exact, wrap a cloth tape measure around the center of the water balloon to check its circumference. Adjust until it's the same as the gas-filled balloon's. Have someone help you measure the circumference of the water balloon while you hold it. Empty the balloon into a large measuring cup, beaker, or something else that can measure volume. Record the amount of water that was in the balloon. The volume of water will equal the volume of gas in the other balloon. If your water-filled balloon is the same size as the gas-filled balloon that you determined (via V = 43πr3{\displaystyle {\frac {4}{3}}\pi r^{3}}) had a volume of 523.33 cm3{\displaystyle ^{3}}, then you should measure about 523 milliliters (18  fl oz) of water poured out of it (1 ml = 1 cm3{\displaystyle ^{3}}).
Summary:
Inflate a balloon with the gas you want to measure. Measure the balloon's circumference and radius. Use the volume of a sphere formula. Fill up another balloon with water to compare your results. Pour the water out and measure it.
