Dessert and Desert: Millie's Kitchen

Welcome to Millie’s Kitchen! Grandma Bea has baked a tray of cupcakes for dessert, three little cactus plants sit on the windowsill, and a painting of a sandy desert with camels hangs on the wall.

Remember: Dessert (two s’s) is the sweet treat after a meal: “We had cherry pie for dessert.” Desert (one s) is a hot, dry, sandy place where it hardly ever rains: “Camels can walk across the desert.”

Magic trick: Dessert has two s’s for sweet stuff, and because you always want seconds! The desert is so dry that it only has room for one s.
