Hodgepodge Number 4

 


Hi all here I am taking part in 2026 hodgepodge Q & A the questions can be found here:

http://www.fromthissideofthepond.com/2026/01/hodgepodge-questions-volume-638.html

I live in the south so we're pretty much only talking about the weather right now. Give us a weather report from where you live. Does the kind of weather you're having today affect your mood in some way? 

I live in the Southern Hemisphere and at the  moment the weather is either bloody hot or pretty cool, yesterday it was 38c or 100f and today it is 26c or 78.8f

Avocados, kale, cauliflower and cottage cheese have all had their time to shine. 2026 brings us the year of the cabbage. Is this a vegetable you like? If so, what are some of your favorite dishes that call for cabbage?  

Nope don’t like it

Was a Cabbage Patch Doll a part of your childhood? Or maybe your children's childhood? What's a toy trend from your childhood you remember wanting for your own? 

My daughter always wanted a Gabbage Patch Doll but we couldn't afford to get her one, of course I remember my rocking horse which is red and I still have.

 Something you've spent a lot of time doing lately? 

Blogging and watching YourTube

Somehow, it's the last week of January...sum up your month in just three sentences. 

How about three words

Long

Busy

Hot

Insert your own random thought here. 

Life is better when you don’t rely on external validation to understand your worth. If you depend on people to build you up, you also give them the same power to break you down. You are worthy regardless of their opinion.

  1. I don't mind the green vegetables but I wouldn't thank you for avocado or cottage cheese. That's a big change in temperature but 26C is still hot to me lol. That's a good random thought. Have a good week.

  2. I am not in love with cabbage. What is wrong with going back to avocado or trying asparagus?

  3. Ohh! I am in England so it's grey and rainy! I would happily take your cool weather! How wonderful that you still have your rocking horse.

  4. Interesting about your weather. So sorry that you couldn't get her a Cabbage Patch doll. Yes, your random thought is a very good point. Take care.

  5. Those three words would almost be reversed here... except maybe for 'long'

  6. 100 degrees is a hot one. It's 27 degrees F here today and snowing. We have a couple of inches on the ground. This almost never happens in South Carolina but we have had actual winter this year. It's pretty but I'm ready for spring now.
