3rd of June- Dun Gorg Preca

-


The 3rd of June 2007 is now a new glorious page in Maltese history. It is on this day, after two millennia of Christianity that a Maltese person has been raised to the official state of sainthood. I refer of course to the canonization of Dun Ġorġ Preca.
To mark this historical event, the MaltaMedia Online Network has prepared a special commemorative feature. The scope of this feature is to offer an objective look at the life of this great man who has left an indelible mark on the Maltese way of life. While he first and foremost a religious figure, there's no denying Dun Ġorġ's impact from a social perspective.
We should expect other Maltese to follow on the sainthood list in the near future; Nazju Falzon and Adeodata Pisani have already been declared venerable. The criteria for canonization are fairly rigorous, but there's no doubt the Maltese are tenacious when it comes to resolve and goodness.
Now is the time to celebrate all the good things that Dun Ġorġ introduced into Maltese life.

In the intriguing world of MasterChef (Malta), the spotlight not only shines on culinary talents but also reveals the complexities that unfold behind the scenes. Photos 89.7 Bay Radio Amidst the sizzling kitchen drama, a familial twist emerges as Pia Pellegrini Petit and her mother, Mireille Pellegrini Petit, take center stage. While it's not uncommon for family members to spice up reality shows, the plot thickens with the revelation that the Pellegrini Petits are directly linked to one of MasterChef's main sponsors – Attard & Co. Pierre Pellegrini Petit, a director at Attard & Co., happens to be the husband and father in this culinary family affair.

Since the dawn of time, mankind has been searching...searching for something more. Ever since the first homo-sapiens pushed a mammoth over a cliff; feasted on its widely dispersed remains and decided that it was a pretty good meal; we've been on the road to culinary improvement. Much later a German, let's call him Helmut, fried up a bit of mince, slapped it between two buns and changed the course of history. Helmut didn't realise it at the time, but he had just invented the burger. But mankind wasn't satisfied with the burger. No, man is never satisfied.  Since that day we have continued to improve, refine, enhance and augment. We have continued to experiment and explore, to add pickles and fried onions, to push the burger boundaries. As most of my readers know I am fascinated about food but some days I feel like having some less sophisticated stuff and when it comes to burgers(especially if you do have a large appetite) The King Of Homemade hea
