Karapu Lit: Kai, Inu, me te Kia Pūkenga
Iowa City, Iowa
Kua tangohia te ingoa "KIA HARERE" o tēnei rōpū Iowa hei ingoa anake—e harikoa ana rātou katoa ki te whakahonore i te waiata taketake, Eat, Drink, & Be Merry! Kaua e tukua kia mamingatia koe e tēnā: he tino kaha tā rātou pānui pukapuka, ā, e waru tau rātou e pena ana.
Kua noho koutou hei rōpū mai i te tau 2005. Nō hea koutou i tīmata ai?
Tokorua o ō mātou mema i mahi tahi ... ā, kua uru atu rāua ki ngā karapu pukapuka i mua. I kitea kua ngaro i a rāua te kōrero mō ngā pukapuka, nō reira i whakatau ai rāua ki te whakatū i tētahi rōpū mā rāua anake.
Nā te aha i puta ai tō ingoa? He mea mohio!
Āe, he pai ki a tātou katoa te kai, ā, he pai ki a tātou tā tātou waina, nō reira ka honoa e tātou tēnā ki tō tātou aroha ki ngā pukapuka. Mō ā tātou hui, he maha ngā wā ka hāngai te tahua ki te pukapuka.
E hia ngā mema inaianei?
Tekau mā rua ā mātou mema, mai i te 20 ki te 50 tau te pakeke. He tokomaha i uru mai mā te panui i runga i te paetukutuku o tā mātou whare pukapuka ā-rohe, ā, kua pai te whakakotahitanga o mātou ki te rōpū taketake. Kua tae mai, kua wehe atu hoki ngā mema i ngā tau kua pahure ake nei, engari he rōpū pakari, pai hoki tā mātou ināianei, he rite tonu ō rātou hiahia—te kai, te waina, me te pānui pukapuka.
