*knock, knock.”

Anybody still here? Echo! (echo, echo, echo…)

Yeah, I know the blog has been a little quiet lately. Sorry ‘bout that. The past couple of weeks have been really busy and it’s kept us away from blogging. First off, there was the US tax season. (What, you mean I’m the only one who procrastinates doing taxes until the week of April 15???)

And then I was traveling away for work in KL last week, which meant that I had no access to the home computer where all the food pics are, and Annie was too busy keeping the household together with me gone. Therefore, no blog posts last week. But we’re back now, and feelin’ the need to get back posting regularly.

Oh, by the way, something really awesome happened last week while I was traveling:

Dear Readers,

I hosed myself. Twice. I am a double self-hoser!

A couple of months back, I found out that there was a scraper site (http://asianfood.aqimg.com/) stealing the House of Annie’s (and several other food blogs’) content. With no contact info on the owner, there was little I could do to get them to stop. It wasn’t like the other scraper site I dealt with, who was hosted on Blogspot.

Chinese New Year

from the House of Annie

We’re taking the kids back over to West Malaysia for the Chinese New Year holidays, to visit with family, pass out tons of ang pow – red packets – and (of course) EAT! We’re going to be in Penang from the 12th through the 16th, then KL until the 21st. Looking forward to meeting up with some food bloggers there.

(If you’re going to be around and want to meet up, send us an email via our Contact page!)

This will be the first time in a very long time that Annie celebrates CNY with her family. And it will be the first time ever for me and the kids to experience what a Chinese New Year is like in Malaysia. I’m so excited!

I’m not sure what our broadband Internet connection is going to be like while we’re away, though. If I can get to a Starbucks, I may be able to upload some posts of where we’ve gone and what we’ve eaten. So stay tuned – you might get a treat!

Aloha, Nate
