Mrs Future Prime Minister was on Super One with Simone Cini today, complaining about the high price of gbejniet and cabbages, which she buys to make soppa tal-armla for Mr Future Prime Minister and Soleil and Etoile.
She also said that she thinks twice before putting a load of clothes in the dryer, so she hangs them out on the line to dry naturally and save money.
But then she spends on cars, clothes, intensive grooming and fees at San Anton School. She has money for that.

Priorities, hux.
She also tried to rub out the time she spent working as Alfred Sant’s PA.
Alfred who ?
Oh please, when was the last time they mentioned that blessed soppa tal-armla? She could grow her own vegetables, unless the swimming-pool took up all the garden.
There’s hydroponics. Very progressive.
Il-kabocci f’Malta m’humiex daqshekk skarsi. Ma nafx ghaliex sabithom gholjin, forsi qed jabbuzaw ghax jghidu “lil din nohdulha tal-hejj klesss.”
Dazgur li mhumhiex skarsi. Il-parlament mimli bihom.
U din, tqum u torqod ma` kabocca.
Perhaps, in the PL, vegetables are rated higher than cars. It would explain why a line-up of PL dignitaries looks like a greengrocer’s rack.
Does she give away the Buttardi jewellery she makes? If not, that’s quite a bit of pin money. She can buys a lot of cabbages with that.
Cabbages AND gbejniet.
Maybe she was imitating Margaret Thatcher who used to go campaigning in the late 70s brandishing a plastic shopping bag containing a bottle of milk, a loaf of bread and a packet of English bangers whilst highlighting price increases, in an effort to get herself identified with the average housewife.
. The more these Muscats project themselves as the average Mr. and Mrs. Ganni Borg, the phonier, surreal and superficial they sound.
They are slowly transforming themselves into a farcical caricature of themselves with every passing day of campaigning .Pity that no one in their entourage has the courage to tell them so ., or the insight.
The problem is that they ARE Mr and Mrs Borg but have come to believe that they have upgraded their status to Mr and Mrs Classy (pronounced Klessy). Now they are so confident of their, ahem, high status, they believe they can pretend to be unassuming, ordinary people, without running the risk of actually being seen as such.
Good point. But doesn’t she sleep with a cabbage head?
At least she had the good sense not to complain about the price of a swimming-pool licence.
What’s wrong with farmers getting a good price for their produce? This was a particularly cold winter and there is a short supply of vegetables. The Prat. Prime Minister should have explained this to her, because his grandfather was a farmer.
Oh! So we can expect the price of gbejnjiet and kabocci to come down when ‘lil-dan’ is PM, too? Here’s me thinking the great price-slash would only be limited to water, electricity, diesel, petrol, gas, blah blah blah.
Il-Kabocci u l-gbejniet gholjin?
Mrs. Muscat ghaliex ma’ qaltiniex kemm kien hemm nies li marru il-kwartieri tal-PL fil-queue biex jifthu kawza lil gvern sabiex jiehdu lura il-VAT ghax dawn in-nies kollha kellhom flus bizzejjed biex jixtru karrozza gdida?
Issa wkoll Dr. Joseph Muscat hada qatta bla habel kontra l-gvern ghax mhux se joghlli l-kontijiet tad-dawl u l-ilma, meta l-eprti qed jghidu li l-kontijiet ghandhom joghlew.
Dawn huma l-fatti ta’ tmexxija bil-ghaqal Dr. Muscat u mhux l-islogans tal-PL biex tqarraq bin-nies li baqghu injoranti u int, bhala kap modern tal-PL ghandek il-kuragg li thallihom fid-dlam, meta id-dmir tieghek huwa li taghllimhom.
This was all I needed. Whenever I thought of Mrs Muscat I had a mental image of furry slippers, rollers and tears. Now she’s also forever associated with cabbages and gbejniet.
Joseph, hun, ghamiltlek widow’s soup with cabbages and gbejniet mghoxxi.
That was Michelle’s way of telling us that she has a clothes-dryer.
Anzi ma qalitx li tkun qed tghin l-ambjent ghax tonxor il-hwejjeg barra.
I’m sure that she hangs the clothes outdoors on fine days, but when it’s humid, rainy and cloudy she’s the first one to load her dryer.
Is this a new recipe? I make my soppa tal-armla without cabbages. I have a solution for Michelle: fill your swimming-pool with soil, save on the pool licence and grow cabbages there instead.
She probably meant cauliflower (pastard). That’s the ingredient in soppa tal-armla.
Biex tara kemm taf taghmel soppa tal-armla. Jew ahjar, kemm ikollha bzonn toqghod attenta.
Can we look forward to a budget speech listing the prices of cabbages and cheese?
Soleil and Etoile: I wonder, do they sound to the French the same way Sun and Star would sound to English-speakers, or Xemx u Kewkba to the Maltese?
