desert ... desert .... dessert

Great series!

Wow, that was fast, Raymond. And thank you.

Camel, hurdle, sundae. Oh wait...

lol Boaty.

desert - desert - dessert
Yay, I got another one! But I had to check the dictionary on one ess or two.

BTW, I finished the one on the right first, and thought, cocktail! But the glass was a bit too sturdy looking...

These are fun, Norma. Even when I don't get them.

Thank you, CB. Glad you are having fun. Makes it worth while.

Fun series. Paul - I was taught that the way to remember 1 "s" or 2 - you want more dessert, so there are 2 ses, you don't want more desert, so there's only 1 s.

Thank you Heasther.

I had camel>something>caramel, then oasis>fence>Sundae, then moose>trying to get moos or mouse>mousse, and finally got the right ones. These are fun to solve, both the picture and then trying to figure out the wordplay.

Thank you Juli. It's fun for me to see how people worked out the solutions.

In case you can't see the image, it's a woman staring at some enormous, man-sized pastries. Caption: "The Streets were oddly desserted that night."

Groan. :) Kristen

When I was solving the puzzle I got the two outer ones (I didn't know about the series) and the Catholic girl inside of me thought this had something to do with Palm Sunday. I think I'll have to take communion with my mother this week.

lol, Jen.

Finally I could guess one!
I remembered a pun in spanish: "algunos venían de ciertos oasis poblados y otros de ciertos desiertos desiertos"
