FAMILY THANKSGIVING DINNER | Cooking with Rona | 

It don’t matter how much food is on the table, or how good it looks. Tama and Thomas will always have tuna and rice 😂

"A Family That Prays Together Stays Together" I love how you Give God the Praises and Glory always at the Beginning and Ending of your shows. You are all abundantly blessed! Beautiful meal and great Thanksgiving! Alofa atu❤️🙏😘🙌🏼

kia Ora Rona Whanau, enjoying your Videos, lots of fun. Will spend more time hooking up to watch your awesome cooking. Wellington New Zealand. much blessings

This is the food we need coming out of these lockdowns, the chief is fortunate enough to have a wife that cooks food like this can never go wrong. When you coming out of lockdowns Subway and Lattes McDonald's Pizza's aint gonna do it. You need something fast and then everything else comes in later throughout the coming out of the lockdown process.

Love your video. God bless u and your love's one's. Enjoy your thanksgivings.

Lol the rain drop tip wow ,lol I cud understand but very interesting, well done chef, food is yummy happy thanks giving to you all ,

Chef is right about the Taro leaves 😂😂 HAPPY THANKSGIVING Chef and your family ,bless bless bless

Yummy food and you all get to enjoy what you love most, that’s vital in any meal…. Love the food and how authentic you all are ❤. Vinaka

🌺 Aloha Chef and Rita, The both of you are so cute together! My family made it a tradition to have Hawaiian Luau, Lau-Lau every New Year’s Eve! 🎊 🎉 We washed the luau leaves and took of the tip of the leaves, we also took off the stem and strip of the stems. It really didn’t have any taste, so, Yes, you’re right Rita, if you don’t clean the stem of the Luau leaves. We wrapped the lau-lau with T leaves. However, it will be itchy, if you don’t wash it. Mahalo (Thank You) for sharing and letting us watch you make this for Thanksgiving 🦃 Aloha …🌺 🤙🏽 🥰

Chef and I heard the same philosophy of our grandparents and parents knowledge ile faiga o luau😂😂😂😂 faimai ole tip ole lau ole luau mea mea piko sili ga oga kele pefu e koa ai because of the water lea kafe mai luga le lau luau a mago la e kuai ai le pefu that's why e fekagofi ai aveese. Good laugh guys magaia foi le fesili faaoso magaku. Hope you and your family had a fantastic Thanksgiving. Alofa aku. More jokes chef😂😂😂 e kele foi lua luau i kukuila😂😂😂😂

Love Your vids, Answer.. to the lau luau, are both correct, the rain drops down onto the luau leaf which adds weights causes the leaf to tip over and touch the ground, Hence the germ theory, And what causes itchiness, Is the germ theory.. Hope this helps.. Mr OG Maumaga. Alofa atu🤙

Yes love to know too why the tip of taro leaf is snip off. Malo chef kai yummy kou thanksgiving dinner 🥰🥰🥰🥰 great to see Emile looking good too

Malo soifua FAMZ, STAY BLESSED, STAY SAFE , IA MANUIA LE ASO THANKSGIVING 💙💙💙👊👊👊🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

Thanks for asking about the tips of the taro leaves. I always watched my dad make palusami n when he cleaned the leaves he always took the tip of the leaves off. He told me it was because the tips are itchy. So I believe you. Chef your too funny😆😆. Love your family. You all are a joy to watch. Happy belated Thanksgiving😊

Thank you Afulu family for inviting us once again into your home. It was wonderful watching you cook and hearing the laughter and the debate on why you remove the tips of the taro leaves. I asked my Micronesian friend if they do the same. She said yes and for the reasons you both stated: First, because the tip collects the most dirt (germs); and second, the tip causes itching. So you're both right ... LOL!!! Happy belated Thanksgiving and look forward to your next video. Alofa atu!!!!!

so from what I was told by my step dad, o le kala kuai i Samoa I aso la. There was a man named Ki'i'ki'i Akalaga who owned a farm that had taro leaves that grew as tall as humans. One day Ki'iki'is sister Sina went to visit him. As she was passing along his taro crops to get to his house, she must have accidentially walked into a taro leaf poking her eye. Sina told her brother about what happened and he told her not to worry. He cannot do nothing to the leaves but when he cooks with them, he will make sure that he rips off every tip of the taro leaf in remembrance of her. ia o le kala ga mai agamua

Thank you so much for that story about the taro leaf sir, it is quite funny lol!!! I’ve never heard anything like that before, I have always seen them doing that when they ofu the lua’u, taking that bit off and I’ve never bother asking why? But thank you for saying that, I love how you make your yummy and real SAMOAN FOOD. Makes me hungry for yours lol, but yes you made awesome foods. Love your beautiful family, GOD BLESS!!!
