Blendtec CONNOISSEUR 鑑賞家-生機食物攪拌機 (澄.天.)

跟婆婆閒逛, 無意中看見這部機, 生平好像也買過三幾部榨汁機, 可是, 因為買回來後不好用啊、難清洗啊、真正用的不到十多次。
看見這部機, 一向極度注重健康飲食的(高敏)婆婆馬上非常喜歡。 最初我亦覺不外如是, 幸好停下腳步看示範, 一停下來, 簡直眼界大開! 

連皮榨- 整個生果榨,細如提子核都ok。
雪糕(90秒)- 加入生果、蔬菜(波菜、carot...) 榨,兩個從不吃蔬菜的小朋友吃完一杯又一杯。 (健康雪糕就夠吸引了吧?)
熱湯(90秒)- 加入不同蔬菜, 攪完熱騰騰又好味, 兩個小孩又狂飲。
豆漿(90秒) -黃豆變成新鮮豆漿 (不打算再給牛奶他們飲了,在家改飲有機豆漿, 健康! )
flour(90秒)- 米--> 完全變成了flour。
還有乳酪、沙冰、蛋糕、芝麻粉、花生粉.... 通通90秒。
最重要---- 竟然不用洗-- 水+洗潔精--- 90秒, 攪掂!
可能我大鄉里少看家庭電器? 我真的覺得很神奇、超好用呢
!
以後孩子能吃大量蔬菜了, 家人都健康呢!

[試用心得]Blendtec Connoisseur鑑賞家食物調理機

01
說到Blendtec這個品牌你可能不見得有聽過
但如果說到「那台可以把i-phone打成粉末的機器」相信一定就有印象了(要看影片請點這裡
過去頂多是用用一般的陽春果汁機來打果汁,從未使用過這麼高效能的食物調理機
這次感謝茶姐的提供,讓我有這個開開眼界的機會。


IMG_0192
紙箱包裝頗具質感,深藍漸層的底色帶有科技感
由於這是已經使用過的產品,因此有已經開過的痕跡


IMG_0195
來看看箱子裡頭的內容物:


IMG_0196
內容物比想像中簡單,除了食譜及說明書之外
包括主機、兩個調理杯(含蓋),以及一支攪拌棒


IMG_0197
調理杯有兩個大小不同的Size,可以依需要區分生熟、或乾濕來使用,非常方便
一個洗了瀝乾中至少還可以用另外一個

IMG_0253
蓋子的設計很簡單,能緊密密合,但也可以輕鬆取下
中間加了一個透明杯盒蓋,方便在運轉中掀起添加食材


IMG_0205
主機的外型簡單大方,相當厚實有重量
LCD螢幕上會顯示已使用次數,操作中也會顯示當時的級數及秒數

IMG_0216
操作面板上除了加速、減速,另外有多種設計好的情境模式
包括果汁、醬汁、濃湯、冰沙.....等等
只要輕鬆按下一個按鍵就可以達成

IMG_0248
底座的設計也相當俐落,調理杯輕輕放上即可,不需旋轉或另外扣緊




R0013225
內附一本印刷相當精美的中文食譜

R0013228
從常見的果汁、精力湯,到醬料、濃湯、乾粉、冰品、嬰幼兒副食品.....林林總總分為十一類
原來調理機有如此多樣的用途!

R0013231

材料、作法到操作方式都有詳細說明

IMG_0203
剛拿到機器第一天就迫不及待拿家裡現有的水果來試打,這天wei正好帶了一顆小玉西瓜回家
馬上切了四分之一放進調理機


11

西瓜切塊後放入調理杯,按下「Whole Juice」的按鍵,機器啟動
運轉的時間五十秒鐘,隨著秒數增加轉動的級數也會逐漸提高
第一次使用的時候,對於越來越大的聲響有些惶恐,不過觀察後覺得應該是安全無虞
用了幾次之後也習慣了

IMG_0215

打出來的西瓜汁口感細緻,不需過濾,完全不會有西瓜籽的粗糙口感!

緊接著又試了幾種果汁:
05
番茄加酸梅真是絕配!

06
我很愛喝忠孝路美奶屋的「芭樂檸檬」,自己也來打打看!
芭樂籽較硬,會比西瓜籽明顯一些

04
香蕉牛奶又是另外一絕

02
家裡正好有濃縮桑椹汁,直接加冰塊打成冰沙,清涼消暑
材料放入後,同樣輕鬆按下「Ice Crush  Milkshake」,35秒後機器自動停止,冰涼的冰沙完成!

果汁冰沙不稀奇,接下來還要試試其他的用途
[馬鈴薯蘑菇濃湯]
IMG_0231
我超愛喝濃湯的,過去總納悶要如何做出西式餐廳才有的口感
這次總算可以試試

03

馬鈴薯、蘑菇切塊煮熟後,放入調理機,按下「Soup Syrups Fondues」鍵,打成糊狀

IMG_0236

另起油鍋將洋蔥末、蘑菇片炒香
把剛剛打好的材料道入煮滾,加些鮮奶就完成了!

IMG_0240

料多、味濃、香氣足,雖然顏色不怎麼好看,但這真的是一碗好好喝的濃湯
連平常很排斥菇類的wei都直說好喝!

[乾粉]
IMG_0442
選了花生及芝麻來試用乾粉功能,兩者都是必須事先炒熟才可攪打

IMG_0450
用手持續按壓「Speed Up」第七級速度,只需七秒鐘就可以按下任一鍵讓機器停止

07
打出的花生粉、芝麻粉香氣四溢、顆粒均勻
可以在沖泡飲品時加入,也可以加在大燕麥片中增添風味。

[豆漿]
09
黃豆洗淨後需先浸泡四小時、蒸熟後才能打,跟打果汁一樣,選擇「whole juice」按鍵

IMG_0471
打出來的豆漿好香好細好好喝
我跟wei都覺得有點類似綠豆沙的味道,但又比綠豆沙更細緻
也可以加之前打出來的芝麻粉與花生粉,更香更好喝!

[莎莎醬]
08
準備好番茄、洋蔥、蒜瓣、辣椒、檸檬汁、香菜、橄欖油,一起放下去攪打
IMG_0458
按照食譜上的指示,級數三打十五秒
之後再入鍋中煮沸

IMG_0459

但打出來感覺有些過細,不如想像中那樣有番茄丁呢
雖然外觀不如預期,不過真的好香好香啊

IMG_0464

家裡沒有玉米脆片,於是拿來當土司醬,酸、香、辣,好吃極了!

IMG_0473

或許是香菜加上檸檬、辣椒的關係,說是莎莎醬,我反而更覺得像是泰式涼拌菜的口味
隔天買了一塊魷魚肉,川燙後淋上,又成了一道好菜!

[香蕉冰淇淋]
10
調理機也能打出冰淇淋?當然要試試!
簡單三種材料:冰凍過的香蕉、冰塊以及鮮奶油
按下「Ice Cream Forzen Yogurt」經過45秒完成!
由於冰塊所佔的份量不少,所以需要攪拌棒來幫忙比較能打得均勻


IMG_0480
打好的冰淇淋還要進冷凍庫三十分鐘後才算完成

IMG_0493
由於是加了冰塊去打成,所以這冰淇淋還是吃得到細冰沙的口感,不如市面上冰淇淋那般滑順
不過這自己動手做的冰淇淋、還吃得到香蕉果肉,覺得十分奢華啊


題外話,拿到機子才幾天,wei在早上迷迷糊糊的狀態下,把一支不鏽鋼湯匙放進去忘了拿出來就按下開關
才打了三下馬上嚇醒關掉
結果,湯匙成了這幅模樣:


R0013233
一支不鏽鋼湯匙竟然可以變形成這模樣,真的相當驚人啊
重點是,調理機的刀片僅出現三個小刮傷、杯側也只有不仔細看看不出來的輕微擦傷,後續的使用當然也完全沒問題

這一個多禮拜的試用,我們玩得相當開心
除了功能強大之外,使用上也相當便利,讓人愛不釋手,甚至認真的考慮是不是要購入一台
包括調理杯、杯蓋的置放都輕鬆簡易,清洗也非常方便,熱水一沖、稍微刷一下就乾乾淨淨
另外打果汁只要「一指神功」,按下按鍵之後可以放心先去處理其他事情,噗個噗浪、洗滌用具等等
五十秒機器自動停止之後再回來倒出打好的果汁即可,超方便的,還真是適合我這種懶人呀
當然,價位不低是比較會列入考慮的因素,不過一分錢一分貨,這台機器的質感實在並非一般果汁機可比擬
推薦給大家,母親節快到了,如果預算夠的話或許可以考慮買一台Blandtec鑑賞家當做大禮送給媽媽或自己^^

果不考慮價格,個人心目中最理想的果汁機(調理機)就是Blendtec或Vita-Mix二選一,不過最近網路上看到的開箱文幾乎一面倒為
Blendtec,據說星巴克和85度C也是用Blendtec當生財工具。當試用的Blendtec送到家裡時,連每天看股票的公公都知道它的威力,因
為前不久的新聞話題就是iPad慘遭Blendtec的毒手被粉碎

DSC_7046
廠商寄來的是新型Blendtec Connoisseur鑑賞家數位生機調理機,原廠授權的外箱彩盒很有科技感,猛一看還以為是3C電子產品。

DSC_7071
DSC_8070
DSC_8087
開箱照就先從質感和重量十足的調理機底座看起,這顆心臟馬達擁有三匹大馬力,可以瞬間擊破細胞壁。不過三匹馬力和擊破細胞壁,本人完全沒概念,只是覺得調理打碎食材的時間愈短,營養就保留愈多。

DSC_8090
DSC_8123
調理機底座可以崁入廚房吧台,也可以和機殼合體(機殼有防電磁波設計),合體後接上電源,液晶面板就會出現使用次數,數字00000確保機器是全新狀態。日後數字愈多,代表喝下愈多的蔬果汁。

DSC_8148
網路上最常見的舊款Blendtec SpaceSaver只有5個數字功能鍵和P鍵,而這款家用頂級款Blendtec Connoisseur則是有9個觸控按鍵,不但把調理功能直接印在按鍵上,而且把10段加速/減速功能獨立出來,增加使用上的靈活度。

DSC_7137
在維修服務方面,前一款是3年或1萬次保固,而這款則延長到5年或1萬次保固。

DSC_8034
原廠附上1920ml和2838ml二款大小新型調理杯,可以將生食和熟食分開使用,我們家剛好可以拿其中一個當成妹妹的副食品專用。

DSC_8037
DSC_8041
調理杯乾打和濕打都可共用,材質耐高溫而且不含雙酚A(買妹妹的奶瓶也很注意這點),平底杯腳設計比舊款穩固,杯底還有四個透氣孔設計。實際試用時,容杯感覺很輕,把手也很好握,而且清洗非常容易,幾乎是沖一沖就很乾淨,只有鋼刀周邊要轉一轉稍微清理。

DSC_8050
杯蓋也是附二個,試用感覺是好蓋好拔好沖洗,跟調理杯一樣設計的很不錯。

DSC_9850
中/英文食譜各一,全中文化食譜是由楊桃文化出版社做後製,裡面共有一百多道食譜,除了一般果汁、冰砂、養生調理、小兒副食品或美式料理,還有台灣習慣的養生豆漿、魚丸貢丸或各式醬汁等等...

DSC_9853
DSC_7065
食譜中的常用道具如磅秤、量杯、量匙和刮刀都隨機附上,不用傷腦筋另外買。

DSC_9873
DSC_8595

為之前用過的果汁機都不太能打豆漿,所以Blendtec的初體驗就決定獻給豆漿。參考食譜43頁的高纖豆漿食譜(沒有全部按表操課),去超市買了有機黃
豆,洗淨後以4倍清水浸泡4小時(水要夠多,不然一下子就會被黃豆吸乾),泡完後稍微搓洗一下,接著放入大同電鍋,外鍋一杯水量,蒸熟後的黃豆以3倍的水
量下去打豆漿,喝多少先打多少,剩下的黃豆直接進冷凍庫備用。

DSC_9880
Blendtec打豆漿只要按「WHOLE JUICE」功能鍵即可,50秒即可自動完成,運轉時聲音真的是有夠大,開打之前可能要有點心理準備~~

DSC_8650
一開始黃豆好像沒煮熟,所以第一次打出來的豆漿豆渣感有點重,感覺有點小失敗。後來再把黃豆放入大同電鍋蒸一下,這次打出來的豆漿就非常成功,完全不會卡喉嚨,所以建議黃豆要煮熟點,不然就是打二次。

DSC_9909
拿到樓下給公公和鄰居試喝,大家都覺得綿密好喝,不濾豆渣不但更香濃,而且營養成份全保留,除非自已打,不然外面很少買得到這種的。

DSC_0081
DSC_0106
接下來打的是芭樂牛奶汁,芭樂加牛奶意外的好喝,芭樂籽只剩一點點,不太影響食用。

DSC_0203
DSC_0240
DSC_0255
優格哈密瓜汁,哈密瓜+蘋果+優格下去打,我覺得很優,但小姑比較喝不慣。

DSC_0288
DSC_0330
香蕉牛奶冰砂,打出來很像綿綿冰。結果這台Blendtec試用沒幾天就被公婆預定A走,要用來打早餐精力湯和妹妹的副食品,1萬轉和5年保固可以讓他們倆老打個過癮^^"

嘩!蟲呀!(澄.天22M)

婆婆從她的有機盤栽裡找來一大堆幼蟲, 嘩! 幼蟲都身形巨大...
每次遇見這些令媽咪發抖的東東時, (不論事與物) 我都盡量保持冷靜, 免得個人的感受、觀感傳到孩子去, 我笑笑地說: "啊! 看! 好可愛的小蟲呢..."
這樣孩子就能安心地好好觀察大自然的小昆蟲了!

小天用手指按了下去, 媽媽心裡發抖, 小天也打個冷震

港孩怪獸家長


港孩怪獸家長成漫畫主角 80後姊弟創作諷怪現象

【明報專訊】「怪獸家長」、「港孩」現象一直是城中熱話。兩名80後姊弟莊潔寧和莊德勤在「藤條」之下成長,中五畢業即離港升學。回港探親時卻驚覺
家中12歲的幼弟,懂得講私隱人權,卻不曉開罐頭、不懂煮即食麵,母親怕他不懂過馬路而跟蹤他上學,姊弟決定把這些事收入筆下的《小學雞》漫畫。二人希望
透過漫畫讓社會想清楚,是否期望下一代只懂讀書彈琴,卻不能照顧自己。

現年24歲的莊潔寧和23歲的莊德勤,中五後已到英國留學,完成大學課程,潔寧目前在英國任朱古力設計師,德勤則於內地任市場調查員。二人回想幼時,課餘都會做家務,連暑假也要跟父親回內地廠房工作,每日站立8小時摺衫、包膠袋,稍有差池更飽受「藤條炆豬肉」。


人大學畢業前,不時趁暑假回港,卻發現家中多了個「小皇帝」。負責構思故事的德勤笑言:「漫畫中的故事,除了取材網絡上的新聞或短片,當中逾五分之一更是
我弟弟的寫照。」他憶述,去年9月發現讀中二的幼弟首次不用坐校巴自行上學,母親竟怕他不懂過馬路,跟蹤了他數天,「我跟姊姊早在小學已自行上下課」。

眼見母親對不同子女的教導方法如此南轅北轍,德勤開始明白為何幼弟不會開罐頭、煮即食麵;也不再訝異有港童把背包「飛擲」至外傭腳下,或因不懂「自己擦屁股」而要立即乘的士回家如廁。

二人透過漫畫不同角色,諷刺一眾港孩和怪獸家長。例如主角「小學雞」,其實是網上用語,意指心智未成熟但愛惹事生非的小學生;另一主角「填鴨」,則經常被母親「填太」逼迫,參加各項課外活動,增強競爭力。

望家長勿只顧子女學業


們舉例指出,以往母親從未要求他們入名校,卻會為幼弟排隊報讀心儀中學、聽升中講座,更以學習為由,毋須他在暑假回父親的內地廠房工作。二人認為,「當學
校要求學生成績優異、運動全能,家長只顧催谷他們考取各類證書,大概已忘了子女縛鞋帶和基本禮貌的重要;教育制度與怪獸家長、港孩是相輔相成」。

第二心儀學校-2011申請情況

Inside the Admission Office
An Interview with Director Betsy Hata

By Diane Pizarro

Spring
is admission season at Punahou School. It's a yearly ritual for those
in the admission department at Punahou, but a pivotal moment in the
lives of many families.

Despite an economic downturn, demand remains strong for admission to Punahou.
This year, 2,250 applicants applied for 450 spaces in K - 12, near
five-year averages. For those entering grades 6 - 12, the long wait
ended March 25, when their decision letters were mailed. The remaining
applicants to grades K - 5 still brace for either "the big manila
envelope" signaling acceptance, a letter indicating that they qualified
for the wait pool or a letter of regret on April 23. Some 625 of those
applicants are waiting eagerly to know if their child will be among the
first 150 kindergarteners in the new Omidyar K-1 Neighborhood.

As
families prepare for the next phase in their child's education, the
Punahou Bulletin sat down with Director of Admission Betsy Hata to get a
better understanding of the admission process.

What is Punahou looking for in a child?
We're
not looking for anything specific because we're looking at the total
child. It's not all about test scores. It's a combination: the school
performance; the test scores; how that school performance correlates
with the test scores. For grades 6 - 12, we like to see that students
are involved in other activities in addition to their academic
responsibilities. We're also looking at their character, citizenship,
personality, and how they get along with other kids. We're looking for
diversity, both economic and ethnic. We also consider and respect the
child's unique abilities, interests and learning styles.

Is there a particular profile Punahou hopes to enroll?
No,
and I think you can see that in our student population. Even if some
children are not very verbally expressive initially, they become much
more outgoing because of the kinds of kids they're working with and the
teachers, who really encourage them to be more assertive. We're looking
at kids who have different interests, different talents, different
skills. That's what makes it a more vibrant community. We're all not the
same. We admit students who might not have the test scores, but because
of their work ethic have been very successful and have become leaders
at our school. That's so rewarding to see - that you can offer a student
that kind of opportunity.

What is the best advice Punahou can give to those receiving a regret letter?
Families
should call for a conference, because then we can talk about it.
Sometimes parents don't know how their child performed and they make
their own assumptions.

What is Punahou doing to help families who have been denied admission?
We
can make recommendations to families and provide guidelines. For
example, we might tell them that while we see potential, this is not the
right time. We can suggest things they might do to build confidence and
self-esteem or to strengthen specific skills so that they might be more
competitive applicants the next time.

If a child is denied acceptance, is it worth applying again?
Absolutely.
Besides looking for the right fit, we really are looking at the timing
for that fit. Sometimes we can see the child's potential in kindergarten
but it may not be the right time. However, maybe at fourth grade or
sixth grade, it might be a better fit. There are some kids we look at
whom we think will probably be much stronger students if we just give
them a few years.

Could you briefly explain the application process?
After
families apply, we schedule them for testing and an on-site observation
or interview. There's some testing involved, no matter what the level.
Kindergarten and first-grade applicants in the wait pool must test on
campus, but tests can be mailed to students applying for second grade
and above, and the SSAT can be taken anywhere.

In grades 6 - 12,
our faculty members conduct the interview, and I like to describe it as a
conversation during which the child can also ask questions. One
suggestion I would have for students is that they really speak up and
advocate for themselves during the interview. Our interviewers do not
read the application before sitting down with the child so if the child
doesn't say it in the interview, the interviewer doesn't know. Kids who
share their passions and interests and are engaged in the conversation
will probably receive a more favorable evaluation. In addition to the
interview, students are also given the opportunity to produce a writing
sample.

Current and previous years' report cards and teacher
reference forms should be submitted on time; extracurricular references
are optional. Once the documents are submitted, then we can go into a
review with the Admission Committee.

The Admission Committee
consists of the admission directors (myself and Lon Wysard '81,
associate director of admission), seven admission counselors who are
full-time Punahou faculty members and work part time for Admission, the
supervisors, the principals, selected faculty members, deans, school
counselors and one of the athletic directors.

All our decision
letters go out the same day. On Monday morning, our phones are ringing
off the hook with families inquiring about post-decision conferences.
Conferences are granted to accepted families first, because those
families may have questions and the accepted student may want to visit
the school. Families have 10 days to make a decision about enrolling, so
it's important to get them handled first.

How are priorities weighed in decisions?
We
don't call them priorities any more; we call them special
considerations. Special considerations are only for tiebreakers. We list
our special considerations alphabetically: children of alumni, faculty
or staff; children of Hawaiian descent; descendents of Punahou's
missionary founders; and siblings of current students. About 48 percent
in this year's kindergarten class did not have any special
considerations. I always tell those with special considerations that it
does not guarantee acceptance. We have 26,000 alumni, so inevitably
we're going to have a lot of alumni who are not happy with us. We're
looking for the child and the fit - that's the bottom line.

Is there a connection between giving and admission?
None
whatsoever. Admission and Advancement are two separate departments.
There is no correlation between gifts to Punahou and the admission
process. Admission to Punahou is based on the match between the child
and the school. It is a process managed separately from a family's
giving to Punahou.

How does the waiting list work?
We
call it a wait pool because a list implies that they are in rank order,
so we get asked, 'Where is my child in the wait list?' When we look to
the wait pool to fill a spot, we are looking at the pool of applicants
for that grade level.

Are there feeder schools to Punahou?
No.
We admit applicants from all schools. This year, in kindergarten, which
is the largest entry point, our (150) students came from 55 schools on
O'ahu, one from out of state.

What can families do to prepare their child for the admission process?
They
need to relax, because any anxiety they have when they bring their
little kindergartener here or when they drop their teen off for the SSAT
test is transferred to that child. They really need to take things in
stride, give the child a good rest. At home, ask thoughtful questions of
their child. Don't just accept yes or no answers. Have them be more
descriptive.

There has been tremendous growth in the business of
tutoring students for private school admission. How does Punahou view
this practice? Can it be beneficial at certain ages/grade levels?

We
don't want the little kindergarteners prepped. We want their individual
session to be more candid. Our two full-time assessment specialists are
so good at telling if the kids are tutored or prepped. It's sad, but
people are tutoring their 2-year-olds and paying for it. We don't
condone that, but we can't help it if they do.

At the older levels, if you're going to have your child tutored, go for a specific need, such as writing or test-taking skills.

Strategically,
our concern is, if this kid's been tutored, does that child always need
tutoring to be that successful? The interviewers do indicate it in
their reports.

How does the financial aid program work?
Once
we admit students, then we start looking at their financial aid
application to see if they qualify for an award. Financial aid is based
on need. Our Board of Trustees and the administration really feel that
the school needs to be accessible financially. Jim Scott, our school
president, attended Punahou on financial aid and he feels that if you
are qualified to be admitted here, we should support you financially. We
are so fortunate to have that kind of support. Families do need to turn
in financial aid applications on time, because a late application makes
a big difference in their award.

What is the student-teacher ratio at Punahou?
That
assumes we have a fixed classroom setting, and that's not how we
structure our student experience. In addition to having grade-level
teachers, our students spend time with specialists throughout the day,
so each student gets lots of individualized attention. In K - 1, for
example, the child not only has one full-time teacher and one assistant
teacher in a class of 25, but that student also benefits from four
special teachers for art, music, PE and library, as well as a drama
specialist, a counselor and chaplain. Teachers and staff collaborate to
attend to each child's needs, creating intimate learning environments
that help make a large school feel small. A student in grades two
through eight, where there are 23 to 25 students per class, spends time
with the full-time teacher and special teachers in art, music, PE and
library, along with the K - 8 drama specialist, counselor and chaplain.
An Academy student attends a mix of classes, including small seminars
and larger lectures, has access to counselors, deans and chaplains, and
participates in a range of co-curricular activities. Given this flexible
environment, students are able to expand their talents and build
relationships with teachers and other mentors.

What's the one thing that people don't know about the Punahou admission process?
We're
looking at the whole admission experience and the whole student, not
just the test scores. We're looking at academic achievement. We're
looking at how successful they have been or are going to be. Are they
going to be able to reach their full promise? We look at the work ethic a
lot. If kids work hard and really advocate for themselves, take
responsibility for their own learning, see the teacher and get the help
they need, then they can make it here; they can be successful.

解決方法:
目標- 2012年開始, 日間不開電腦, 最少也不開FaceBook, (曾有打算不update FB, 還是忍不了又upload了一些生活照, upload花不了太多時間, upload後朋友的留言、又看看朋友的post, 一個循環以後, 輕易地就流連忘返!

寫blog- 其實自小有寫日記習慣, 寫日記有思考問題、自我省思之作用, 一個人要常反省才有進步, 可是, 我由從前用心寫每一篇blog, 到後期以極速、簡短、不太思考用字、組織地草草了事, 實太有"趕blog"之感, 已經不十分享受。

時間不夠用,自然就會晚睡, 做日間沒機會完成的事情。 結果, 明天情緒受影響, 動不動就大動肝火, 苦了孩子、家人, 更破壞了彼此關係, 究竟何苦呢?
