January 2015 Meeting - Just Desserts

According to WiseGeek the phrase "just desserts" is an eggcorn which is a spelling error that is based upon a mishearing or misspelling at some time.  It was originally "just deserts".  It is based upon the word "deservire" or "desert" which has meant "to deserve" since the 13th century.  So the phrase may mean you pretty much get what you deserve.

Bebe used a cherry on top of CoolWhip for her inspiration.  She thread painted the manipulated photo for a luscious dessert!
