A very quick way to get the meat thawed enough is to stick it in the microwave. How long it should heat depends on the size, but you probably shouldn’t go over a minute (unless the meat is being really stubborn). The point of this isn’t to thaw it all the way through.

We recognize that there are significant challenges ahead of the City and that addressing these challenges will take a careful examination of the long term plans in the Capital budget. This discussion was pursued in part during this year’s budget process and the concerns were raised by the Mayor, Council leadership, and other Alders.
