What are parents for though? If we weren’t embarrassing our children all of the time, what would we do? Haha!

It is four doors so now the only thing left for me to do is find a STi car seat for the little guy. I can not have him riding in the back without the proper support of a STi racing bucket child seat.

So far we love it. When I say “we”, I mean my wife Brittany puts up with it for the most part because she knows that I am in love with Subaru’s.

Here are some recent pictures of the new ride. These were taken after I just washed and waxed it on probably the last nice day I will see before the winter hits here in England.

Here is the gallery with all of the pictures I took throughout the day. If anyone is as weird as I am and have looked for baby car seats for an STi, let me know what your results were.

Not to mention, one of my favorite places to eat curry was CoCo’s Curry. I think I must have had curry at least once a week for three years. I had quite to the belly to prove it too!

Well, since moving here to England I have been looking for ways to get my hands on some CoCo’s curry. Luckily my sister still lives there and she got me some of the curry-in-a-box type deals that they sell at CoCo’s restaurants. I had her send me about twenty boxes of the beef curry and I think she might be sending more soon. I know they had them in Okinawa for sale somewhere in the front when you first walk in. If you are really curious about it, just ask someone that works there and hopefully they can hook you up.

The whole process only takes only a couple minutes, if you don’t count the time it takes to make some rice. I usually go with some short or medium grain sticky rice to make the moment taste like the “real deal”. The curry comes in a bag that you can either empty into a microwaveable safe container or you can just put the bag in some hot water on the stove. I usually microwave it and it takes roughly two minutes.

Let me just say this about the end result…it is awesome! It is not quite that same curry that I love and miss, but it is far better than I imagined it to be. I would say that it is better than the actual CoCo’s Curry I had when I was in Hawaii. I sometimes cook a chicken patty and add it to the mix so I can pretend I am having Chicken Katsu Curry, haha.

If anyone reading this knows of a place to order this online, please leave a comment and let me know. I would literally kill a man for some real CoCo’s Curry. Well, maybe not kill someone but you get the idea. So, if you know someone living in Japan and you need your fix too, just have them send you some curry in a box from CoCo’s.

Here are some of the pictures from my little photo shoot.

We are still moving in and getting situated at the moment. It doesn’t really help that we had the bare minimum before we moved here. We are now in the process of buying new furniture for the house and for our soon to be baby boy.

Here are the pictures:
