What’s in a word? And some new toys.

By Peter G • Feb 2nd, 2009 • Category: Personal

Phew!  What a busy few weeks!  I haven’t really had time to breathe…or blog!  Nevertheless I’m back with a quick post.  Sydney is stinking hot at the moment.  Not that I’m complaining…of course.  It’s just really humid and I find myself showering three times a day.  I sweat worse than my father…LOL!  Whilst I don’t [...]



A Big Thank You!

By Peter G • Jan 20th, 2009 • Category: Personal

I woke up this morning to find my blog stats had gone haywire!  Upon further investigation I find that Souvlaki For The Soul has been nominated for best Food Blog in the category of Photography in the Well Fed Network’s Food Blog awards.  Well I’m gob smacked!  Thank you to those who nominated me…it’s a [...]



Summer in the City

By Peter G • Jan 16th, 2009 • Category: Personal

Phew!  What a busy few weeks it’s been!  I think I’m all “partied out”.  With the summer weather in full swing here in Sydney, it’s been one event after another.  I think I’ve consumed enough canapes to last me a lifetime.  I’ve been enjoying beer and champagne like there’s no tomorrow.  All in moderation of [...]



Happy Holidays

By Peter G • Dec 22nd, 2008 • Category: Personal

No matter where you are, who you’re with and what weather you’re experiencing, I just wanted to wish everyone the best for this coming festive season.  I hope Santa brings what you asked for!  Also, I just wanted to say a very big THANK YOU to everyone who drops by here. ( I’ll probably manage [...]



Recovery Food

By Peter G • Nov 8th, 2008 • Category: Lifestyle, Personal, Recipes

This is a mish mash of a post.  A few different things to discuss.
While a new man was being elevated to the heights of power on Tuesday, I was being elevated in a dentist’s chair seeking treatment for a cracked tooth!  As it so happens I bit into a Greek sugared almond, “koufeta” as we [...]



Time For A Coffee…

By Peter G • Jul 28th, 2008 • Category: Personal

This is going to be a “mish mash” of a post.  I have a few people to thank and answer a meme (sort of!).  So, sit back, relax and have a “cuppa” with me.  Speaking of, I find I’m drinking way too much coffee these days.  I really can’t help it.  I never start my [...]



I’m still here!

By Peter G • Jul 2nd, 2008 • Category: Personal

Hello!  Is there anyone there?  You’re probably asking the same thing of me!  Its been an interesting few weeks.  Where do I begin?
Ok.  I was ill for about a week after having a “questionable” satay in a South East Asian country.  I swear I had no idea the tiles on my bathroom floor were that [...]



Reflections…

By Peter G • May 17th, 2008 • Category: Personal

It’s been a good week..lots of bread experiments as you know. As you may have gathered by now, I like to indulge in a bit of food photography. Its a recent discovery of mine but apart from food I also enjoy taking snapshots of other things as well. So, without boring you [...]



Thank You & Thank You!!!

By Peter G • May 11th, 2008 • Category: Personal

It’s another round for memes. They’re an interesting thing aren’t they ? I must admit, I’m not really the biggest fan of these as I believe that if you want to say thank you to somebody head on over to their blog and say hi etc… BUT, I don’t want to seem [...]



New Design…New Season

By Peter G • Apr 4th, 2008 • Category: Personal

After a few weeks of playing around with different themes I launch the autumn/winter edition of Souvlaki For The Soul. Now, it may not be to everyone’s taste but I really like this design for its ability to use 3 columns. Something I haven’t utilised before. I maintained the “wooden” look by [...]
