How do you spell desert!

When I figure four plus one is five ( four people, one meal, five bucks). I don't include desert. Usually if we have desert it is fruit, or piece of a five dollar Friday cake. One cake lasts us all week. Yesterday I posted a white snack cake. Today I made blackberry sauce to put on it with some whip cream.

Sometimes if I have a main dish with little protein, we will have creme brûlée for desert.
