I've always prefered just desserts instead of eating desert. Glad to see Chris is a Senior Editor.

Thank you! Seconded!

You may prefer eating sweets over sand, but the phrase is actually spelled "just deserts."

It is pronounced like the food, but it is a noun that means "an outcome (good or bad) that is well deserved."

Hence, someone receiving such deserts justly.
