【味蕾的記憶】爸爸一請客，全家就開工 | 家庭兩性 | 生活 | 聯合新聞網
聽新聞 0:00 / 0:00 Your browser does not support HTML5 Audio! 😢 母親手藝精湛，成了熱愛廣交朋友的父親最佳後盾。父親時不時便邀請親友來家裡吃飯，讓原本不大的飯廳總是擠得水洩不通。而且，父親對醃漬青梅與製作破布子餅情有獨鍾，他的朋友們享用了美味成果，卻苦了母親與我們這些小小童工。 初夏梅雨時節，我們先幫忙挑除青梅的蒂頭，用清水洗淨。接著母親會加入粗鹽搓揉青梅，再用刀背輕拍，使梅子表面出現裂痕。敲裂後的青梅得放入容器裡醃漬一夜，隔天用水浸泡數小時，徹底去除澀味。待青梅完全瀝乾，才能著手分次糖漬。經過數月的沉澱等待，換得一罐罐美味至極的醃漬青梅。 炎炎夏日，母親會拿出幾顆冰涼青梅，小心翼翼地舀出一些梅汁加入冰水，有時還會淋在八寶清冰上增添風味，不僅消暑，還教人胃口大開。...
雜貨店小開 | 世界副刊 | 藝文 | 世界新聞網
聽新聞 0:00 /0:00 Your browser does not support HTML5 Audio! 😢 公婆經營著一家傳統的雜貨店，一邊開店、一邊拉拔三個孩子長大。 從小，老公便是同學眼中令人稱羨的「雜貨店小開」，總以為他能盡情享用零食與玩具。 但事實是，他和姊姊們一樣，更像是無酬的「童工」。每天凌晨，公公就會前往市場，批發生鮮蔬果回來店裡販售，只要貨車一停好，鐵門外傳來搬貨聲響，孩子們就得立刻起床梳洗，到店裡幫忙挑揀、貼標價。稍有賴床，便會招來責罵。 孩子們最不喜歡豌豆、豆芽菜等蔬菜，因為他們還得幫忙挑除粗絲和細根，手工無法出快活；或是一大袋的麵粉、太白粉、餅乾分裝，身上衣服到處灰撲撲、餅乾屑四散，好不狼狽，還得被父母邊念邊做。 這樣的忙碌，往往延續到上學前的最後十分鐘，他們才趕忙換上制服、背起書包、急奔校門。下午放學後，則換上另一種節奏，一邊寫功課、一邊顧店，直到夜幕低垂、拉下鐵門，才得以上樓歇息。...
【厝內大小事】Ann Shen／我不想得長女病 | 聯合新聞網
聽新聞 0:00 / 0:00 Your browser does not support HTML5 Audio! 😢 我的大姑姑，是那種一輩子為家人燃燒自己的人。 奶奶晚年患有嚴重眼疾和多重慢性病，爺爺又在重大車禍後留下後遺症，所以她盡心照料雙親、照顧手足。對家中年紀最小，也是唯一男丁的弟弟，更是疼愛有加，即使弟弟成家立業，她仍愛屋及烏，繼續為他的家庭操心勞碌。 然而，這位被無限包容的弟弟──正是我的父親──卻始終不成材，求學時蹺課逃學，服役時甚至逃兵，成家後依舊荒唐，流連酒家、沉迷賭博。自我有記憶以來，我就看著大姑姑一次又一次替他善後，出錢出力，填補他在酒家裝闊或在賭場揮金如土，一個又一個的金錢黑洞。 印象最深的一次，是父親又在牌桌上輸了大筆賭債，姑姑竟以性命相逼，要姑丈出錢幫忙弟弟還債。當時年僅七、八歲的我，和一旁的表姊們站在客廳角落嚇壞了。只見姑姑手持菜刀、抵住脖子，聲嘶力竭地說：「如果你不幫我弟弟，我就死給你看！」姑丈連忙上前奪刀，屋內頓時鬧成一團。...
Ann Shen／台北居，大不易 | 琅琅悅讀
2026/01/27 台北居，大不易。圖／林蔡鴻 為愛勇敢，大學畢業就到台北工作，從窮鄉僻壤的嘉義鄉下移居繁華大都會的台北。找房子的任務就交給當時的男友、現在的老公，連家當都是未來公婆開車載去，真的是一只行李箱就出發了。 人生新頁就在一棟位於市中心的住商大樓展開。雖然外觀老舊，管理員伯伯衰老到時常在座位上打盹，出入份子龍蛇混雜，但進到家裡，採光算明亮、有對外窗，浴室還有浴缸，租金甚至不到一萬元！原本還慶幸著自己的好運氣，後來才發現這裡是知名鬼廈之一，但木已成舟，只好將就，加倍小心地出入。 除了遇過幾次電梯會在無人的樓層打開，搭電梯時旁有兇狠流氓與亮麗的酒店小姐，半夜有酒醉的人來敲門找人，住在這裡的日子算得上平靜。隔壁住了一位老婆婆，家裡不關門，出入若跟她對到眼，就會互相問好。後來遇到社工，才知道婆婆身體不好，擔心她昏倒在家卻無人知，才會把門打開，讓鄰居關照一下。當婆婆的家關門時，往往就是她身體不舒服去住院了。...

Guest's Crocs Eaten by Escalator, Leaving Feature Still Out of Service in The Land Pavilion at EPCOT

8 books to read if you can't make it to this weekend's Women's March
History was made two years ago when an estimated crowd of nearly one million Americans took to Washington D.C. to pioneer the widespread, modern-day fight for women's rights known as The Women's March. This protest came just one day after the presidential inauguration of Donald Trump and, with it now an annual event, served as the ultimate clap-back to his insensitive statements about women and lack of equal gender-based policies in his Administration.
Turning the financial crisis into an opportunity

She sat down in an interview with Marketplace host Kai Ryssdal to talk about how the financial crisis has changed her career. The following is an edited transcript of the conversation.
