Monday Hodge Podge

 

 The term "hodgepodge" emerged from the Middle English phrase "hochepot," which meant a stew made of various ingredients. Over time, it transformed into "hodgepodge," embodying the notion of a jumble or mix of diverse elements.
I don't think I've ever used this term either in conversation or written so today is a first.

We've been doing jigsaw puzzles these past days/weeks. Here are a few of the ones we completed.

 

 Whenever we come back home from wherever we've been we usually find Miss Kitty patiently waiting for us sitting in front of the garage on one of the bins.


Recently I bought a cheesecake at the grocery store and was surprised by how good it was.   Maybe not as good as a homemade one but not bad at all.


 

I hope my hodgepodge today hasn't been too boring.  I'm off to tend to my laundry. Hopefully you're having a good day.  Thanks for taking time to visit.

  7. Our lives are a hodgepodge if we are at all active. Sometimes we're even in a stew. :-)

  12. I have the very same puzzle as the first one with the cat snoozing in the bookshelf - in fact I also bought it as a cross stitch kit though I never finished it. It just needed the backstitching and the titles of the books before I lost interest mostly because I hated working with the gold filament thread. It was quite a challenge working on the black aida cloth. Your cheesecake makes me hungry...

  17. I can/can't believe I have not been here to see this. I am just all over the place these days. I have that first puzzle...worked it this past year at some point. like the others, too. It sounds like your husband likes to work them, too. Roger never did. Do you like all kinds of puzzles? I do.
