Summarize the following:
Timing is key in popping the question, so you'll want to put some thought and effort into when and how you'll do it. Wait for a moment when you know your parents will be relaxed and happy, and ask them then. Don't ask your parents if they're in a bad mood. Wait till later when they've cooled off. Don't ask your parents if they're rushed or in the middle of doing something else. Wait until you have their undivided attention. If you think your parents are going to say no to letting you go for safety reasons, give them examples of how safe the event will be. Tell them about any chaperones or other parents that might be there. Tell them who you're going with, how long you'll be there and any other pertinent information. Tell the truth. If there aren't going to be parents or chaperones there, don't lie. If they're concerned about how late the event is, tell them you'll go to bed early the next night to make up for it. Your parents have a lot to keep track of, so the easier you can make this on them, the better. If you have a flier of the event, give them a copy. If you have a phone number for the adult who is supervising, write that on the flier. If you're feeling ambitious, make a list of everyone who is going to be there and include their phone numbers. Hang the flier on the fridge so the information is easily available to your parents and so that it doesn't get lost. Your parents are responsible for your well-being, but they are not required to let you do the things you want to do. If you want your parents to grant you a favor, show them that you appreciate all the things they already do for you. Don't just come out and say, "Mom and Dad, can I go to this event?" Try saying something like, "Mom and Dad, I know you don't usually let me go out late on a school night, and I understand and appreciate why. But it would mean a lot if you would consider letting me go this one time." You may feel like you don't have any power in this situation, but that's actually not true. Try offering your parents something you know they want: foolproof options include offering to do extra chores or offering to do better in school. Make your offer very specific. Say something like, "If you let me go, I'll do everyone's laundry this week." If you make a promise to do something, actually do it. Otherwise, your parents will remember the next time you want a favor. If this event costs money, offering to pay will show your parents just how important this event is to you. If you can't afford to pay the whole amount, at least offer to contribute. Your parents will appreciate your responsibility. Your parents may be so impressed by this that they may offer to pay for the whole thing. If the event doesn't cost money, offer to give your parents money for the gas they would use driving you there. They'll appreciate how thoughtful the gesture is. You don't want your parents to feel pressured to rush into an answer: if they feel this way, they're more likely to turn you down. Tell your parents to take a day or two to think it over. Make sure you plan it out so you're asking at least a week in advance. Any later than that and your parents will feel rushed. Don't ask too far ahead of time. This increases the chances that your parents might change their minds about letting you go. If your parents turn you down, don't give up yet. Ask them why they said no, then try to think of ways to turn that no into a yes. Your parents will be impressed that you care enough to try to change, and that may be enough to sway their decision. If your parents don't give a clear-cut reason as to why they're saying no, dig a little deeper. You can't change something if you don't know what it is. If your parents say no again, accept it. If you make a big stink about it, they're even less likely to say yes next time.

summary: Set the stage. Anticipate their worries. Come prepared with written information. Show gratitude when asking to go. Offer your parents incentives. Offer to pay. Tell them they don't have to answer now. Remember that no doesn't necessarily mean no.

Summarize the following:
Banana is one of the most popular choices for egg replacements in sweet recipes like muffins, breads, and cake. Use 1/2 banana to yield 1/4 cup (30 g) of puree. The banana will alter the taste of your baked goods, so make sure you like banana-flavored muffins, breads, etc. before you add it to your recipe. Otherwise, look for something with a milder taste. Applesauce works great with recipes like brownies and chocolate cake because the chocolate hides the flavor of the applesauce. Use 1/3 cup (43 g) of puree to replace 1 egg. Applesauce and other fruit purees will add heaviness and density, so if you want something lighter, use 1/4 cup (30 g) of puree with 1 Tsp baking powder for a lighter, fluffier product. Pumpkin can also leave a distinct flavor in baked goods, so it's best to incorporate it in a recipe that works well with pumpkin. Bread, muffins, and spice cakes will all benefit from the moisture, binding properties, and taste of pumpkin. Make sure the pumpkin is pureed so that it is smooth and won't make lumps in your baked goods. Substitute 1 egg with 1 Tbsp. vinegar plus 1 Tsp. baking soda whisked together. Baking soda will give your baked goods a warm, golden brown color. Baking soda will react with acids in your recipe (like vinegar, buttermilk, cream of tartar) and release carbon dioxide, causing your baked goods to rise. Substitute 1 egg with 2 Tbsp. water plus 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil plus 1 Tsp. baking powder. Whisk them together thoroughly. Using baking powder will result in a lighter, fluffier product. Mix 1 Tbsp agar powder in 1 Tbsp water. Whip the mixture, then let it chill in the fridge. Whip it again and it will be ready to use. This is equivalent to 1 egg white, so increase as necessary for the recipe. Agar powder is also known as agar-agar, Kanten, Japanese isinglass, or Ceylon moss. Agar is vegan and can also be used to replace gelatin. This isn't exactly the healthiest egg alternative, but it will leaven your cake and can add an interesting flavor! A can of soda (12 ounces) is equivalent to adding 3 eggs to your recipe. When using soda, omit the oil in the recipe to avoid runniness. You can choose the type of soda based on its flavor and how well it combines with your cake. For example, you could combine French vanilla cake mix with orange soda to create a creamsicle cake. Ginger ale would pair well with spice cake mix. Chocolate cake mix and root beer would result in a chocolate root beer float cake. Grind the seeds as finely as possible in a coffee or spice grinder. Mix 1 Tbsp. ground flax seed or 1 Tbsp. ground chia seed with 3 Tbsp. of water to replace 1 egg. Allow the mixture to sit for 30 minutes until it thickens and has a jelly-like consistency. Flax seeds have a slightly nutty flavor, so use it in recipes that would benefit from this flavor. Chia seeds will deepen the color of your baked goods. If the eggs are meant to bind and leaven, add an additional 1/4 Tsp. of baking powder. Instead, use 2 tablespoons of an oil and 1 tablespoon of water per egg you'd like to replace. Eggs can also be substituted for 2 tablespoons of a liquid plus 2 tablespoons of flour plus half a tablespoon shortening, but there are other alternatives.
summary: Replace 1 egg with 1/4 cup (30 g) of banana puree to add moisture. Use applesauce to add moisture, density, and sweetness. Try 1/3 cup (43 g) of pumpkin to replace 1 egg in muffins and breads. Make use of baking soda and vinegar to help your recipe rise. Try baking powder and vegetable oil to help baked goods rise. Substitute egg whites with agar powder. Replace 3 eggs in boxed cake mixes with 1 can of soda. Use finely ground flax and chia seeds to add a nutty flavor. Avoid powders entirely, if you don't like powders at all.
