First, please don't use '杂碎', because in some areas, it's a dirty word.

For me, 炒杂烩(chǎozáhuì) makes sense. But since it's typical American-Chinese food, there is no perfect translation for it.

意思和语法都对。但是,我们很少说:清一色的思想。

用一个成语比较好:千篇一律。qian1pian2yi4lv4.

没有。调休 is you work one day more and then take another day off. For example, you worked on this Sunday. Then you can take another off. It's like ‘补休息’.

Good question.

1. 每当and每到 are interchangeable.

2. Both “在" and "是" are unnecessary. 在 is like 'in', in the past. 是 is like '是...的' pattern.

“但是不是正确的”.It's a right sentence but sounds unnatural. "但是不对"/“但是不正确” is better.

“补班” 不可以. We will say, "补星期一" 补+the date.

不过呢,现在好像有的。因为很多人去酒吧,喝多了大概看谁都是美女吧。我在一本小说里看到过,说两个男的在酒吧为了一个女孩子打架。然后去了警察局,发现:哇,原来那个女孩子不太漂亮。

不过好像没有这个俗语。
