mishmashing
Mixing things haphazardly
Mishmashing is combining things haphazardly or without much order—throwing disparate elements together into an untidy whole.
The word suggests casual mixing rather than careful arrangement: She spent the afternoon mishmashing leftover ingredients into something vaguely edible.
See mishmash.
