the quantified cook Infographic



After tracking my time all semester, it was finally time for me to gather all my data in to one large infographic. I originally envisioned a large line graph with clickable pictures linking to my blog entries. But, when I went to design the chart, I had so much data it was impossible to decipher the pictures! Rather than scrap my blog, I decided to show the final infographic here...on the blog! 

I wanted the final graphic to have a homemade, vintage feel like it was torn from an old recipe book. I found a great grunge paper texture and added even more stains on top of it. I'm a very messy cook! 

I thought I would find that I tended to cook much, much less the more I study. When I ran a linear regression (and, as you might notice I mention in my blog entries), the correlation was fairly low! I  think my willingness to cook might depend on the errands I ran that day (I grocery shop on Mondays and wash laundry at the laundromat on Wednesdays. Can you tell I'm Type A?) and whether J is traveling or not. It appears that there might be a slight correlation on both fronts. 

It was extremely interesting to track my habits and see what factors do (and don't!) influence each other.
