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.
It's a good word, I think.
ReplyDeleteWish I could do puzzles, but I get so obsessed I stay up almost all night doing them! I get obsessed, really I do.
We love puzzles and will start some around Christmas time, it is a great activity!
ReplyDeleteHusband likes puzzles but hasn't gotten to do one yet. I see all those pieces and walk away lol.
ReplyDeleteYour kitty is sweet to wait for you.
I love cheesecake if I had one in the house it would be to much of a temptation.

I like all your puzzles and would enjoy doing them too.
ReplyDeleteYour hodgepodge today hasn't been too boring at all!!
ReplyDeleteWe find our happiness often in such no perfect prozeses or situations. Its magic.
Your puzzles look good.
ReplyDeletePleased you enjoyed the cheesecake.
All the best Jan
Our lives are a hodgepodge if we are at all active. Sometimes we're even in a stew. :-)
ReplyDeleteyour cheesecake from the store did look good. I think I'm hungry!!! :)
ReplyDeleteNot at all boring. I use the work hodgepodge quite often. Most people around here do. I love how your kitty waits for you. Zoey does the same, only on the back of the sofa, staring at thh door.
ReplyDeleteBlssing and hugs,
Betsy
Nice puzzles. I really like the book one.
ReplyDeleteThe cheesecake looks very appetising!
ReplyDeleteYour Hodge Podge was very nice!
ReplyDeleteI 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...

I like the word, but I don't have the patience for puzzles. I wish I did.
ReplyDeleteI love the puzzles you put together. And I love the term "hodgepodge". Thanks for all the comments you've left on my images. Linda @ imageisisee.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI love puzzles! Maybe I get a new one before Christmas :) Cheesecake is a favourite here too...
ReplyDeleteHave a great day & take care!
Love, Titti
Best wishes and God bless.
ReplyDeleteYum! Cheesecake is a Christmas treat! Your kitty is very cute! Merry! Merry!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
