I just say Aunt ____. I've never used "Auntie."
I say "Auntie" for the aunts on my mom's side of the family (the New Englanders), and "Aunt" for my dad's side (the New Yorkers.)
Nandi: I ain't her. Mal: Only people in this room is you and me.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Or does Boston actually lack restaurants that cater to vegans?
Well, Jen would be our resource on that question.
I don't know if there's a vegan-only restaurant, but there are plenty of good options where you can eat vegan. We ate at Dali's (the best tapas place I've ever been to) in Boston and Jen had many non-animal-exploiting dishes.
Also Indian and Thai are easy to get without vegan issues.

Lovely hearing the updates on Grace and Auntie paperdol. I'm almost glad (not quite) that Matilda had her one day in the NICU so I can imagine the scene.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Jen K seems unamused by Boston's vegan options. (She had a lot of fun when she was in New York.)

She does seem to appreciate the true Vegan restaurants when she gets the chance.
Seems weird that Boston has none, though.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
One more Midwesterner checking with the "ant" or "ant-ie" pronunciation.

I also say "ant-ee" although it's is probably closer to "aynt-ee", if that makes sense.

Darby's must be new!
Okay, fine, so I haven't LIVED there in almost a decade, but back then, we had to walk uphill in the snow both ways to hit Saigon Rendezvous or Urban Onion!
Where is it, and is it worth checking out?
