Baker’s ratios make my family think I’m a much better baker than I am.
Basic risen bread (a “60% hydration bread” ): 100 parts by weight of flour, 60-70 parts liquid, 3 parts salt, 2 parts yeast. Use grams and scale it up by 5 (500g flour), use water or beer for the liquid, knead, let rise for an hour or so, shape, rest for 30min, then bake at 400F for about an hour or until the inside is around 190-200F, and LET IT COOL to sub-120F before you cut in. Or if you’re feeling fancy, use scalded and cooled milk, add 5-10 parts sugar, and swap out 10-20 parts of the liquid for melted but not hot butter - and you get a nice rich bread, half way to a brioche. Or go to 70-75 parts liquid, including some olive oil, and kneed for a long time, and you got a solid pizza dough.
Quick breads: 2 parts flour, 2 parts liquid (including sugar), 1 part beaten egg, 1 part fat (oil or melted butter). This gives you a jumping if point for banana breads, pancakes, muffins, and scones. Add or withhold a little liquid to get the consistency you want for how you’re cooking it.
A 1000 mile radius does cover a chunk of the US. Centered on Denver it covers basically everything west of Michigan (excl Alaska and Hawaii of course).

A looks like something an elementary school aged kid would have on their iPad for help learning to add.
B’s got my vote.
I like knowing my daily production and keeping that on my mushroom dashboard. That’s not an ootb metric on my SolarEdge system, but lifetime energy is. So I have an automation that records the total each night into a helper, and a Mushroom Template Chip card that does the math for me. It’s simple but it does the job.

What book is this from? I’d love to spend some time pouring through it.
The ones from Duluth Trading are solid, and are actually comfortable. The Flex Firehose ones repel water pretty well, but do get hot and muggy inside when out hiking. Nice for typical days though, esp in the cooler seasons.
Get some glassware to cook in in the microwave. Any food in contact with plastic in the microwave will leech some awful chemicals you don’t want. You can usually find some Pyrex at a secondhand store for cheap, and will be way easier to clean than any Tupperware or equivalent you’d otherwise be using. Source: chemical engineer.
