(Monday) run and tart

Monday evening there were a couple actual cool breezes, although mostly it was still hot as record heat continues in Japan. I ran down to Aoyama, around the moat loop (I guess Monday is not a big run day, because the numbers were less than 10% of what I was used to) but veered off north to go through Kudanshita Station area before coming back around.

I've got homemade tarts are home, so I bought an apricot tart from Paul (bakery cafe) at the Yotsuya Atre. It was good, a baked custard tart (or pie, I'm not sure what the difference is), but I also appreciated the almond butter tart made in a simple crust (versus the butter one of the actual recipe) that I made, so I'll keep that recipe for the filling. I'm still curious about what you co do substituting oil for butter, since olive oil is cheaper and easier to get your hands on.
