Well done!

After reading the transcript of the three-way call between Mallia’s driver, the Police Commissioner and the prime minister’s communications man, my conclusion is that Mallia should be held accountable for appointing a nincompoop like that to the post of Police Commissioner.
It was not an error of judgement. It was deliberate, like his choice of driver and his choice of head of secretariat. Mallia appointed Ray Zammit because Ray Zammit is his cousin and biddable.
Prosit and nice !
Just got mine. It’s gorgeous.
Excellent, as always.
Looks lovely! Can’t wait to see it!
It is simply delicious. Thank you for all the lovely ideas/recipes.
Shall we say this was one against all odds?
A truly stunning issue, in fact the only quality Maltese magazine worth having and keeping. This one deserves coffee-table-top status.
Were they to have the opportunity, MEA would hijack you to a secret lab, study your productivity levels, your time management skills, and if they had the money clone you. God bless.
Thanks, what an effort. It’s going to take all week just to scan through it.
Well done, Daphne.
The inclusion of the open ruby pomegranate on the cover is lovely.
It encapsulates the balance.
I will slowly savour the rest.

I’ve often wondered why in Malta , with all the pomegranate trees we have, fresh pomegranate juice is not often available.
In fact very frequently one sees pomegranate trees with the fruit left to perish on the branches.
All it takes is splitting it in half and using a juicer with a crushing arm to extract the juice.
The oriental fashion of serving the pomegranate arils with rose water over puddings or their inclusion in a salad is a touch I favour.
The Afghan government is mulling pomegranates as an alternative cash crop to opium poppies. Now there’s an idea for Professor Edward.
Some pomegranate liqueur is produced in Malta. But beyond that I’d imagine there isn’t enough volume to make it worthwhile.
If you do make your own, try reducing some to a syrup, it stores well and goes with a lot of things.
In Israel, all children are given pomegranate juice as a healthy drink instead of milk.
Excellent publication. How the ‘hack’ do you manage to give us such an excellent product and still have the time to remain the best investigative journalist around?
Daphne, you are truly a woman of many talents. Well done.
Thank you for a superlative production and contents.
This edition has kept me good company for a two hour train ride. Thank you. Excellent work.
A top notch publication to the high standards you have got us used to. Well done Daphne,
