  • What does extra flour do to chocolate chip cookies?

    I stick to the same chocolate chip cookie recipe because other ones don't work for me. However, I want to make them thicker, higher, and softer because they always quickly harden after 10 minutes out of the oven. I've heard that 1 extra egg yolk works and will be doing that.

    I've also heard that extra flour can make it softer and I've also heard that it can make the cookie drier.

    http://www.handletheheat.com/the-ultimate-guide-to... (Tessa's experiment) says it'll make it softer and ooey-gooier, but other sources like Betty Crocker says too much flour will make it drier. I don't know which one to listen to!

    Which one is it? 1/4 to 1/2 more flour = harder or softer? Thicker or spongier? Personal experience or reasoning and no assuming please.

  • Digital Piano or Acoustic Piano?

    I want to start playing a piano this summer. I am kind of on a budget, and I just need a piano that works so I could learn how to play it. I'm kind of straying away from an acoustic piano because I know that it needs constant maintenance and tune ups, which I know can be quite costly. Is learning how to play a keyboard exactly the same as learning how to play an upright one? If I buy a digital piano and use it for two years, will I be able to easily translate it into an acoustic in the future? How much maintenance does a digital really need (like tune ups and such)?

    Also (side question), as an almost 15 year old, if I practice piano everyday for 30-45 minutes for two years, how good will I become at playing piano (I mean how quickly I can read and play a piece / about how quickly I can play without faltering much)?

  • What is the pH of mixing these solutions?

    I heard about the acid mantle and I want to restore it by using something with a pH of 5 on my skin. I want to mix lemon, baking soda, and honey to make a mixture of a homemade face mask, but I don't know how much to add of each for the end pH to equal 5.

    Lemon's pH = 2

    Honey's pH = 3

    Baking soda's pH = 8

    How much of each must I mix (mostly baking soda and lemon, only some honey) of each to equal a total pH of 5? I know there's a formula for it, but I don't understand it. I know that it's not just the average of the pH numbers, since that's not how H+ and OH- works.

    Please teach me the formula or give me the amount of each ingredient to add for the complete mixture to equal a pH of 5. Thanks!

  • What are 3 good songs that resemble these topics?

    I need 3 good songs that have lyrics about these 3 topics. 1 song for each of these topics. Please make the songs rock or pop. Mainly pop! The lyrics should relate to these topics i say again! Here they are!:

    1) A girl that is lonely, has NO friends, and is shy. No really ever liked her no matter where she went. All she would do is watch TV( but that doesn't need to be included in the lyrics of what ever song you suggest). She only had 5 friends and none of them were really close. She never had a Best friend. She never her homework. She never listened to her parents. Basically, her life was very very sad with those points.

    2) Another girl has a few friends and does good in school. Where ever she went, she was never WELL liked. As in not many people liked her, but some did. She isn't the most popular person in places, but isn't the biggest loser either. But she can't express herself and is like a turtle who sticks inside its shell and never come out. It tries, but sometimes it's emotions doesn't let it. She is nice and kind.

    3) This last girl has LOTS AND LOTS of friends! She is popular EVERYWHERE she goes. She is in an AAP school and she even takes honors classes there. She is really nice and kind. She has a special best friend she see's every day!
