As opposed to just deserts, meaning things that are
deserved, whether reward or punishment. Weird, but I always thought those were 'just deSSerts' -- like, your reward for having eaten that pile of overcooked Brussels sprouts on your plate. Not though. In this case, it's just a single 's' though it's not pronounced like desert, as in Sahara. Really, what an impossible language. Enough to make you want some kind of reward just for figuring out one of its mysteries.
This ice cream with fruit is just a dessert, not a 'just desert' just a treat. I could hardly believe it
when I saw the carton of ice cream actually called ‘Canadian Vanilla, eh’. What
an easy way to celebrate today, Canada Day.
Raspberries fresh-picked from the little garden out back are
supposed to form the red bars either side of the maple leaf. A flag that looks
good enough to eat. Here I go!
