今日の出来事から 12月26日(金) あと6日で2015年

 昨夜は米人宅に招かれ、ビーフ、サラダ、オイスターと帆立、マッシュルームとポテトのグラタンをいただきました。この時期、皆さん張り切って料理を作るので招かれるのは光栄です。

 まだまだある健康なもの! 2014年世間で話題になった健康食品です。
  • Packed with antioxidants, bee pollen is touted to bolster the immune system, boost energy, and aid digestion, among other better-body benefits. Stir the supplement into a glass of almond milk or add to your next smoothie. Learn more >>>Bee Pollen
  • Red palm oil looks a little different than most oils you probably stock in your kitchen. The coconut oil alternative has a brown-orange color and a thicker consistency. The color should tip you off to its nutrient content (hint: beta-carotene). It also has a robust, earthy flavor profile. Learn more >>>Red Palm Oil
  • Baobab is a superfruit that has been called "Africa's best-kept secret." It has a very unique nutritional profile and boasts some incredible health benefits. For starters, it's 50% fiber, contains six times as much vitamin C as an orange, has more iron than red meat, and delivers twice as much calcium as milk and more potassium than bananas.

  • When thousands of soccer fans voyaged to Brazil for the 2014 World Cup, they discovered a sour-tasting berry. That berry is actually camu camu, a lemon-sized Amazonian fruit harvested in Brazil and Peru. Is this superfood about to give acai a run for its money? Learn more >>>CAMU CAMUアマゾンのベリー
  • You’ve probably never heard of yacón, but this low-glycemic sweetener could be a smart addition to your pantry. Often called “the apple of the earth” in Peru, yacón looks like a potato in its original form and tastes like an apple. It’s got half the calories of regular sugar and boasts some impressive health benefits. Learn more >>>Yacon Syrup大地のリンゴ(ペルー産)
  • It’s got a funny name, but the health benefits of skyr are no laughing matter. Now available in most supermarkets from brands like Siggi’s, this yogurt-like product is giving Greek yogurt a run for its money. Learn more >>>SKYR ヨーグルト?
  • Hemp is a plant-based protein, which is a good choice for vegans. It is high in fiber and offers essential fatty acids. It is easily digestible and has been shown to reduce inflammation. Protein, in general, is essential for suppressing hunger and hemp protein may be even more beneficial due to its high fiber content. Learn more>>>Hemp Seed麻の実
  • Just like stevia, monk fruit is about 200 times as sweet as sugar, but contains no calories and has no effect on blood glucose levels, making it an ideal fit for zero-calorie sodas such as Zevia. Learn more>>>Monk Fruit ステビアに近い 血糖値制御
  • Maca is packed with many nutrients, including fatty acids and amino acids. It is an excellent source of protein, vitamin C, calcium, iron, and fiber. As a food, it can be roasted or baked and many ferment it to make it into a beverage called "maca chicha." Maca has been suggested to provide several health benefits, including: stress relief, improved libido, and boosted energy. Learn more>>> マカ 私も飲んでいます
  • Coconut butter is a spread that's finding its way onto supermarket shelves alongside all of your favorite nut butters. Though similar to peanut butter or almond butter, coconut butter has a rougher texture. It may taste like dessert, but coconut butter is a relatively clean and healthy snack option. It’s also Paleo-friendly, vegetarian, and gluten- and dairy-free so it will align with most diets. Learn more>>> ココナッツバター 
この中で私が知っていたのは、麻の実、マカ、ココナッツバターのみでした。まだまだ世界には、人に知られていない健康的に食べ物があるということです。
大抵のものは、アマゾンで購入できます。私6種類買いましたよ。 お正月に新年会で皆さんと試食、試飲します。


<p>Established as the premier sushi spot in New York City (<strong><a href="http://www.thedailymeal.com/eat/best-sushi-america">as well as the best in the United States</a></strong>) <strong><a href="http://www.thedailymeal.com/bar-masa-0">Masa</a> </strong>Takayama's namesake restaurant in the swanky Time Warner Center draws diners into its hushed, intimate setting for an evening of exquisite food and exotic presentations. The menu-less cuisine, with fish flown in from Japan, is accompanied by a high bar for entry: the price. For dinner at this Three-Michelin-star venue, you’ll pay a minimum of <strong>$450 </strong>per person before tip.</p>
アメリカで’一番高い店とは? NYCにある雅のようです。お任せで450ドル、お一人様です。

 経済指標です。為替は120.38円、来年は130円までは行かず円高に動くという予測が出ています。一時下げたゴールドが1194ドルまで戻しています。原油は55.77ドル、北海ブレントは60ドルです。株はアジア全面高、欧州はフランスを除いて上げています。NY株は堅調です、18081ドルとしっかり地固めしています。確か7日連続の上げとなっています。
 そう考えると、今年1年の米国株は実に堅調であったということです。個人的には、去年は債券70%、株式30%で運用して失敗しましたが、今年は株式の割合を50%以上にしたので正解だったことになります。
 不動産については、たまに見ていますが、同じコンドの売り出し物件を見て推測していますが、あまり上がっていないように思います。
 円安に触れたことで、日本からハワイへの不動産投資がかなり減ったのではないかと思っています。韓国や中国の動きが分かりませんが、今後は間違いなく、東南アジアからの投資がハワイに向かうと考えています。

 日曜日のゴルフに危険信号が??? 100%の雨ですが、せめて午後からにしてください、お願いします。
 夜は弟分のお見合い会食があります。遥か彼方欧州からプリンセスが訪米していますが、果たしてフィーリングは合うのか? 楽しみです。

 今週もあと2日営業日、そして来週が月ー水の営業で2014年が終りです。元旦から4日の日曜日までVIPの訪米に伴い、店は閉めます。皆さん、良い週末、年度末を!
