Short run to Libertable and back: Zenith

Had some skin problems yesterday and some different weird stuff going on today, but decided that my body rhythm is screwed up from not enough sleep and weird hours over the weekend, another reason I may have to quite the long runs in the summer (which is drawing to a close). I'm hoping running in the evening will help reset my clock.

Anyway, I still tried and maybe am okay doing just a short easy run to Libertable, where they had Zenith for 848 yen. This is one of two of their specialties (the other is Luxe, black truffles and chocolate). It's a Calvados (a special French apple brandy) chiboust and caramelized apple, on top of an apple-flavored foie gras fran in a butter tart crust. I'm really sorry that I looked up what was in it, but it was delicious, I have to admit. I'd like to stick to vegetarian cake (no one has admitted to using lard yet, but I know that there is special lard that is important for French baking: it's the belly fat that you want), though, so maybe not again. The last cake I haven't had from there, the Grace, should be safe, with "red fruit" (raspberries?) and basil creme brulee; I don't mind killing herbs so much.
