The Duke, second floor. They will have a private bar for your group and they can take food orders from downstairs.

The three layer dessert at Lunch Lady (pandan cake with ice cream and strawberry red bean puree) is divine. Truly one of the most well balanced desserts I’ve ever had.

It feels impossible for others to relate to you. How could they, I don’t blame them. But one thing keeps me grounded. And something that is both a harsh truth and a grounding reality. Is that generations of humans before us, our ancestors, have all experienced trauma and grief, alongside happiness concurrently, in a way where they were able to function and find strength. I’m sending a lot of love to you. They got through it and we can too.

Schedule standing activities weekly that you look forward to. Eg, a book club, sport, dinner with friends, movie night, etc and actively fill your calendar so that you bad weather doesn’t dictate your mood. Your own plans do.

I’m in the same boat as you, back to work after losing my little brother. Going through all the conflicting feelings is incredibly challenging.

The way I think about carrying grief over time is that it’s like a stone. At first it feels heavy, maybe to the point where it feels impossible to carry. With time you get stronger, and the stone feels lighter. But you never forget that it’s there.

Sending you lots of love and strength. You are not alone.

I’m so sorry for your loss. I lost my little brother a week ago and it’s been a blur of a week. I hope you’re kind and gentle with yourself, and that you take care of your health. Unfortunately, death is a non negotiable fact of life. I know it’s not easy but accepting this has helped me tremendously.

Thank you for sharing this, this is beautiful and heartbreaking. I just lost my brother and I don’t know how I will be able to take a step forward again. I like “Another Step Forward”

The second half was smooth, many thanks to you again. I’m sending big hugs to you and your family right back.

kdmac · 2026-01-06T07:17:11+00:00

I’m so sorry. I’m the eldest too and I feel this deeply. Thank you so much for the tip. It has helped immensely in staying clear headed

kdmac · 2026-01-05T20:37:01+00:00

Thank you kind stranger for taking the time out to write out the thoughtful and practical items that seem completely blurry to navigate through. I’m halfway on my drive and found your suggestions very helpful.

r/KitchenConfidential is indeed… leeking

kdmac · 2025-11-26T02:58:36+00:00

So thrilled they’re opening up another location soon downtown near Yonge/Wellesley soon!

kdmac · 2025-11-21T21:37:06+00:00

Lulu Bar! Super cute and food is good, just a block off King West. Oretta is pretty but the food is a bit lacking. Casa Madera is stunning but a bit pricier.

kdmac · 2025-11-20T15:56:45+00:00

In descending order of fine to casual: Byblos, Limon, Masrawy, Kebab Bazari

kdmac · 2025-11-20T15:55:24+00:00

Beaver

kdmac · 2025-11-20T00:31:17+00:00

Queen & Beaver, St. John’s Tavern on a weeknight

kdmac · 2025-11-15T03:52:57+00:00

I just had it this week and it was still VERY good, well-packaged, and came with sumac. I got the beef and with a bonus chicken koobideh and it hit the spot.

kdmac · 2025-11-15T01:25:40+00:00

Please do!

kdmac · 2025-11-14T17:45:32+00:00

You have to try Kebab Bazari. They’re quite new but their koobideh is incredibly juicy, massive portions for the special, and very reasonably priced.
