As I've fretted so many times before, Jac is an app man and I am a dessert girl. This has the unfortunate effect of meaning we usually don't get dessert. Our outing to Carlyle in Shirlington was a total WIN for Team Elle Kasey!Shirlington is a seriously hot dining spot. It's two rows of dining plus a new annex of dining and shops. It's outdoors and has ample patio seating that lures people on the most vaguely favorable evenings. We dared try Carlyle, easily the granddaddy of Shirlington dining on a busy weekend night. To our surprise they seated us right away. The place was packed but it was a tasty dinner. When a lemon meringue pie passed by I pulled out one of my dessert chits and invited Jac to sit back and enjoy a coffee. The brilliant thing about the pie was the meringue was described as "marshmallow meringue" and it was much sweeter, fluffier and substantial than meringue is. I know I'm going to have to figure out how to make topping goodness.
