Welcome to Life Bites!
I am a Dominican-American mom who loves to cook and write. My Chinese-American husband also enjoys cooking and together we experiment with the many flavors of Latin-American and Asian cuisines. I started this blog in 2007 to share recipes and my original poems. Since then, it has grown to also include music and book reviews, opinion posts, as well as bits about Dominican culture. Photography from our travels near and far is sprinkled throughout the site.
Whether you are here for dinner ideas, to delve into a poem or to explore our content library: enjoy!

Very Cool! :I will re visit often-
One of my all time favourite quotes from Walden, residing on my dresser mirror here! To find it on your page, too, automatically makes me want to re-visit your site over and over again. I’ll be sure to read you thoroughly as time allows.
~ Molli
I want to start sticking quotes on my mirror…
Claudette, the phrase that was up on my “About” that I eventually took down went something like this: “I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately, I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to put to rout all that was not life and and see if I could not learn what it had to teach. And not, when I came to die to discover that I had not lived.” from Walden by Henry David Thoreau. Probably one of my favorite quotes of all time, as well as Molli’s.
Thanks Molli. Your blog rocks by the way.
Que placer es llegar aqui e ver a mi nombre bajo del gran maestro Pablo Neruda. Thank you so much for your vote of confidence. I’ll be back here to snoop around a little more.
Y si te apetece, tengo unas poemas enspanol, como seguramente ves ya, no es mi idioma principal pero es mi idioma favorito.
Gracias por la visita. Estaré pasando por tu blog para leer más de tu poesía, y por supuesto, la que tengas en español.
You look great
Loosely speaking, it strikes me that you’re blog is to Dominican culture what mine is to American. If I may quickly quote you: “My notes on Dominican culture, I hope, will help immortalize the elements of my motherland I find unique.” I like that recapitulation. It’s more or less what I had in mind with my website, though obviously I don’t phrase it quite so felicitously.
You may or may not be interested in the antisocialist dot com. Please take a quick look if you have a spare moment. Just incidentally, I found you through Ritwik, who liked one of my prose-poems, “The Truckdriver.” You might also be interested in “Car Crashes were invented in America” and “The Waitress,” all of which were written by me, or my fictional character, William James Morgan, RIP. Thank you for your literary brain and your literary beauty.
Very interesting. Since I am something of a culture whore, I will certainly be making your blog a must read of mine
Thanks for the opportunity!
Ah, your hair is like mine! (when i blow dry it)
