This is the page where I am supposed to say something about myself and why I have a blog. I’ve tried blogging many, many years ago but after several posts, I forgot about it. It is still out there somewhere if you care to look for it. Hint: otherwise ordinary.
What frustrates me most about existence is staying ordinary. I strive not to be ordinary in the best possible way I can. I am not always successful but I try. I like to experiment but within my comfort zone. As long as it is not life-threatening I will do it. As long as it is not wriggling and crawling and is not smaller than my fingers I will touch it. As long as it is not a four-legged animal, I will cook and eat it.
And so now you can expect that my food blog will not have anything that has four legs. Most of the meals I cook are otherwise ordinary, because each one has a special touch or a secret ingredient that I won’t reveal in my posts. If you can guess it right I might give you a reward!
I am passionate about photography and food is my favourite subject. I like shooting people too, especially when they’re not looking. I am a regular contributor as photographer to FishHead magazine, a local life-style magazine in Wellington, New Zealand. When not taking photographs, I work for one of the top government agencies in the country. I like saying that. It makes me feel not ordinary. (Smile)
I shoot using Canon cameras. I have a 600D/Rebel T3i and G11. My dream camera is a 5D Mark II. I’m an arm-stretch away from achieving that. (Smile again)
If you would like to use any of my images, please contact me at dolly dot rubiano at gmail dot com (you know how to ‘decode’ that!), or you can leave a reply down the bottom of the page.

Oh, Seana, I am greatly honored. Thank you! But I have started with this blog only 2 months ago and don’t know 11 bloggers to nominate just yet. Is there a deadline to it?

I’m not sure Dolly! I am sure you will receive this nomination again when you are ready to participate. You were my first choice on this because you have such a beautiful blog. 🙂

Hi Dolly, you had dropped off my follow list!! WordPress seems to get flakier by the up date! Look forward to seeing you in my reader again.

OMG! I haven’t replied to you regarding the award. So sorry! Thank you for nominating me. But I feel that I am not ready for any kind of award at this point. To show my appreciation, I have a surprise coming out just for you!

Haha, It’s okay, I reluctantly play the award game, so don’t expect others to enthusiastically embrace it either! I’m just happy that people read my blog, that’s reward enough for me!

Hi Jhuls, kumusta kabayan! I think you are my first Filipino follower. For that you win a prize! =) Is it so kind of you to nominate me. Thank you so much but I have to turn down such an honor for the reasons I have already stated in my previous replies above. Please understand. I am looking forward to read more of your Pinoy recipe posts!

Hi Jess. Yours is beautiful, too! It have drooled over your chicken recipes. And you inspired me to try an easy bread recipe again. Thank you for stopping by!
