Throwing up is usually no cause for alarm. But in some cases it can signal a serious problem. Here's how to tell when your preschooler's vomiting needs immediate medical attention — and how to deal with vomiting that doesn't require a doctor's care.
Call 911 immediately if:
Call your child's doctor if:
Call a poison control center if:
Experts used to tell parents to keep either syrup of ipecac or activated charcoal on hand for poisoning emergencies. But that's no longer the case: Ipecac is not an effective treatment for poisoning — most emergency rooms don't even use it anymore — and activated charcoal hasn't been proven a safe or effective remedy to give children at home.
If you have ipecac in your home, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that you dispose of it immediately and safely. (Never throw away any medications in a garbage can that your child can get into.)
Dehydration can be a serious problem for young children, and if your preschooler is vomiting (or has a fever or diarrhea), he's losing precious fluids.
Don't force your preschooler to drink anything when he's still vomiting frequently (every five or ten minutes). But after his tummy's been calm for half an hour or so, offer him slow, frequent sips of clear liquid, like water or broth — say 1 teaspoon (5 cc) every 10 minutes for a couple of hours. Then — if he tolerates that well — increase the amount to 2 teaspoons (10 cc) every 5 minutes. Continue to progress slowly until the vomiting eases up.
Juices sometimes make matters worse (especially if your child also has diarrhea). But if juice is the only liquid your child will drink, don't increase the amount of juice he normally drinks in a day, but dilute it half and half with water. (So if he's drinking 3 or 4 ounces of juice in a day, you might dilute this to 6 or 8 ounces of liquid.) He might also enjoy ice pops or slushies made from electrolyte solutions or diluted juices. Don't give him carbonated drinks, though, as they're terrible for his teeth and won't help settle his stomach.
Once your preschooler's vomiting diminishes or stops and his appetite returns, you can slowly reintroduce healthful foods. The AAP recommends that a child recovering from stomach troubles resume a normal diet as soon as possible: Offer him complex carbohydrates (like breads, cereals, and rice), lean meats, yogurt, fruits, and vegetables, but steer clear of fatty foods.
This differs from the BRAT diet (bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast) that doctors used to prescribe. Studies show that reintroducing a standard diet can actually shorten recovery time by half a day because it restores essential nutrients the body needs to fight infection. If your preschooler misses a few days' worth of good nutrition because his bug kills his appetite, don't worry. Just make sure you keep him hydrated.
By the way, doctors vary on how they feel about milk consumption after vomiting; you might want to discuss this with your preschooler's doctor.
Don't give your child any prescription or over-the-counter anti-nausea medication unless his doctor recommends it.
And never give medications containing aspirin to help relieve your child's symptoms. Aspirin can make a child susceptible to Reye's syndrome, a rare but potentially fatal illness.
If your preschooler will drink it, you can brew up a tummy-friendly tea such as chamomile, peppermint, or ginger. To prevent scalding, serve it warm, not hot.
Children vomit for a number of reasons, and while it's always disconcerting, it's usually not serious. (For guidance on when to see a doctor, see the first section of this article.) You'll want to find out what's causing it, though, both to confirm that he's okay and to make him more comfortable. If your child vomits once and that's the end of it, maybe he just ate too much at his last meal. If he continues to vomit, possible causes include:
Viral or bacterial infection
A stomach flu or other intestinal illness is the most likely culprit. If a virus or bacteria have infected your preschooler's stomach lining or intestines, he may also have diarrhea, loss of appetite, abdominal pain, and fever. The vomiting usually stops within 12 to 24 hours.
Other infections
Congestion or a respiratory infection can also lead to vomiting, especially while your child's coughing. Strep throat, a urinary tract infection, and even an ear infection can sometimes cause nausea and vomiting. Throwing up can also be a symptom of serious illnesses like pneumonia, meningitis, appendicitis, and, in rare cases, Reye's syndrome.
Motion sickness
Some children tend to get motion sickness, especially if they're sitting so low in the backseat that they can't see out the window. Experts believe that motion sickness happens when there's a disconnect between what your preschooler sees and what he senses with the motion-sensitive parts of his body, such as his inner ears and some nerves.
Poisonous substance
Your preschooler could be vomiting if he's swallowed a toxic substance like a drug, plant, medicine, or chemical. Or he may have gotten food poisoning from contaminated food or water. He may have diarrhea instead of or in addition to vomiting.
Yes, several strategies are worth trying:
You can give your child certain medications for motion sickness, but you'll want to know how they affect him before starting out on a trip. They may cause drowsiness or dry mouth and nose (keep those fluids handy), but sometimes they have the opposite effect and cause irritability and hyperactivity. If you want to give one a try, ask your preschooler's doctor for advice. Motion sickness patches are not for use on children under age 12, so don't cut one in half to deliver a smaller dose to your preschooler.

In this July 13, 2012, photo, the Memphis Queen riverboat moves up the Mississippi River, in Memphis, Tenn. (AP Photo/Nikki Boertman)
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- Hundreds of tons of rock and concrete will be needed to fill a sinkhole that developed at Tom Lee Park on the Memphis riverfront.
Officials cordoned off a large area more than a month ago when the hole was noticed around a box culvert that carries storm water to the Mississippi River.
An official of the development corporation that manages the city park told The Commercial Appeal that ground-penetrating radar revealed a large underground void where water has washed away soil.
Fixing it will require building a temporary road and dumping up 200 tons of rock into the hole, then pouring more than 100 truckloads of concrete around the ruptured box culvert.

Sydney & Melbourne suggestions
My husband and I are going to be in Australia from Dec12-Dec28 with our 2 year old. We'll be in Sydney for close to a week (7 nights) , Melbourne for 3 nights, and the Blue Mountains (staying in Blackheath) 2 nights. Should bother going to the places I have picked (largely based on previous chowhound postings - some outdated?). We would like to have one or two stunner places - excellent food with views and excellent service that won't be put off by our daughter (who is well behaved and has been to many top restaurants). It seems we can also find great food that isn't over the top expensive - holes in the wall are fine, as long as they are good! Do most places not take reservations? It seems as if many of the "ordinary" places don't. We love Asian fusion, Indian cuisine, spicy food and fish - we love food and are always eager to have new dining experiences.
Any places we should go for the views and drinks/snacks rather than dinner (ie Seans, Rockpool or Icebergs) Any places recommended for breakfast? Thanks!
Please let me know if we should avoid any of the places we've selected and if we should add any others.
When in Sydney we'll be staying largely near Darling Harbor and in Melbourne near Flinders Lane - (for what it's worth)
Chat Thai
Spice I am
Bodega (this is just if we are dying for tapas - I recognize that Australia on the whole isn't known for it's Spanish influence)
Kushiyaki Azuma
Sean's Panorama
Rockpool (I thought we should go to the one in Sydney since we have so few nights in Melbourne)
drinks: Gin Club
Sichuan House
drinks at Rooftop Cinema bar
Half Moon
I'll get the ball rolling. Casual ('ordinary') eating out is a major Australian pastime and is usually done spontaneously at the last minute without reservations eg 'I don't fancy cooking tonight, lets go out for thai' - but many places will take reservations if you give them a call. The more popular, the more reservations are needed.
Rockpool - there are a couple of styles, the Melbourne one is Rockpool Bar and Grill and has a Sydney twin
I'm from Melbourne, so I'll comment on your Melbourne mini-list. Movida and its spin-offs are very mod-Spanish tapas if you are after top notch and tapas; Anada is less well known, less flashy and more Spanish.
There are a couple of restaurants in Melbourne called Half Moon, which did you mean? I think you probably mean the Brighton pub but I wouldn't trek out from the city for it.
What would I add to your list? Probably Gills Diner if you're in the city, casual but excellent, or Cumulus (same reasons). I'd make a tram ride out to Brunswick to have dinner at Hellenic Republic, Colombaris' taverna rather than Rumi but the flavours at Rumi are great and they do a nice brekky.
I'll probably get thrown out of some club or other for this, but I reckon the latest hot spot of Coda is well overrated (it may settle). And the izakaya binge is still playing out, probably not worth the risk.
What dates will you be in Melbourne, as this probably affects the choices.... I have a friend over from Perth the week before Christmas, and finding somewhere pleasant that isn't either full of drunk suits shouting at each other, or running a special christmas (read: group) menu is proving a challenge. And what do you like to eat?
re: mr_gimlet
Oh, and thanks for flattering me by picking Sichuan House! It is a personal favourite, but only if you really, really like chilli and very busy chinese restaurants! Subtle and finessed it ain't.
There are better non-sichuan chinese but nothing as brazen in its take it or leave it cooking style.
re: mr_gimlet
My two pence worth, although it was a long time ago I wwas in Melbourne, we loved The SUpper Club, although as they didn't open until 6pm I am not sure how child friendly they are, personally I have never found a better bar, awesome wine list, and living outside of London I have never found anything like it again. am sure there are more 'hot' places right now but....
Also really enjoyed Ablas, middle eastern cooking done by the housewife of the restaurant, fantastic. On a similar vain Gigibaba is the new (ish) venture from a chef in Perth (Ex Eminem) which was the best food we ate in Australia, although I think getting more mixed reviews following his move.
Be interested to hear on Sydney report as venturing out there in August 2010.
re: stanleyk
Supper Club is still going, though perceived as a more of a late night venue. Definitely not child friendly, I suspect they wouldn't even allow anyone under 18 in. Downstairs is the City Wine Bar which has a popular following and shares the same kitchen I think.
Gigibaba - was trying to keep quiet on this but since it got mentioned.... to me this is the epitome of trendy, overpriced Collingwood - queues around the block, anmdpretentious, hostile waitstaff who feel as if they are doing you a favour by letting you eat there. The food is pleasant, but not as good as Eminem - without the food it would have closed in days.
re: mr_gimlet
Melbourne - especially if you are into Asian Fusion - please PLEASE, go to Coda - right off Flinders lane. Is amazing Vietnamese and French fusion - fabulous wine list. Touch base with them about kids, it might be a night for a babysitter - was the highlight of my recent trip to Melbourne - I can't rave about it enough.
Do take up the suggestion below for Din Tai Fung in Sydney - they have been called the best dumplings in the world - and not lightly - the silkiest and thinest wrappers you would ever find - and it is just the same as the one in Taiwan.
I will try Sydney:
Chat Thai, Spice I am, and Mamak are all great choices. No booking and quite inexpensive, queues can be approx 30 mins if you hit peak time so best to go early. Spice I am now has an upmarket restaurant as well (in Darlinghurst) no BYO and higher prices, mixed reviews so far, but does seem to be getting better.
Zilver, I have not been, but I am off Australian Yum Cha (Dim Sum) as I don't think it stacks up against other countries. I assume this is best for lunch. Shanghai Tang on George Street is pretty good and cheap and cooks to order which is a start. Another to try is "Din Thai Fung" upstairs in World Square. This is a Taiwanese chain that really only does steamed dumplings, they are more expensive than "holes in the wall", but all are freshly made and superb, the cognoscenti often pan them because they are expensive but it isn't really that bad.
I haven't tried Bodega so can't comment, it has a good reputation, but as Mr.G says Movida in Melbourne is the one to beat for Tapas.
I also can't comment on Kushiyaki Azuma but it is a well rated Japanese restaurant in a city with very good Japanese restaurants. You could also try Sashimi/Sushi at "Yoshii" which is reputedly the best in Sydney according to a number of my friends and the GFG. I recommend reservations here.
Mongers is a good fish and chip shop in Bondi, there are lots of great F&C places around Sydney. You may find it a trek to get to Bondi for F&C though. I prefer the F&C shop on Balmoral Beach (also a trek) because it is more tranquil. Another good hole in the wall F&C place is "Fishface" in Darlinghurst, this isn't cheap, has no view, but the quality of the fish is amazing, you pay to eat the best! No reservation needed.
Icebergs and Seans: Icebergs has the view and is very funky, sexy and glamorous; and that is the decor, the people are even better. Food is OK, maybe a notch below the setting, but nothing wrong. Sean's, is more down at earth, less of a view, and is really a locals favourite, a good local with a view of the sea. Both need reservations in some time advance
Rockpool, is a classic, it serves really good modern Australian food i.e. it takes influences from a whole raft of cuisines that make up our multi-cultural country and throws them back at the diner with style and panache. It doesn't have a view, and is high end fine dining, but to me it is quintessentially Australian. Other options are Quay, Aria and Bennelong, and the food and views probably follow that order with Quay best. Bennelong is in the Opera House and is classic French. All need reservation some time in advance.
Gin club, I haven't heard of, but lots of good bars around town (although Melbourne is better for classy places). It may be good to try the "Ivy" or the Establishment" for big glamorous bars, or head to "The London" in Balmain for a traditional pub. However, lots of choice for pubs and bars, best to simply choose one you pass and pop in. Just don't miss the traditional in favour of the modern ones.
In Blackheath you may also consider "Vulcans" which is very established and is very good. Most food is cooked in a big wood fired oven . It is probably more rustic than Ashcroft's (which is also well rated). I would recommend reservations, as they can get full especially at weekends.
Overall a good selection, there are lots and lots of other places but this is a pretty well balanced list. The only thing that may be missing is a good inner suburbs bistro like, Bistrode, Bird Cow Fish or Bronte Road Bistro.
Sailor Thai and Lord Nelson's in the rocks..its been years so maybe things have changed.
There is a great old house in the rocks that serves a great breakfast out in the back patio..hopefully PhilD will chime in.
Everyone has given you great places to eat!
Thanks for the thoughtful feedback and all of the additional restaurant suggestions! I'll check out Vulcan's in Blackheath - although I was told they were closed until March for Summer. (?)
Melbourne Dec 19 - 22. Sounds like we're gonna see plenty of drunk suits.
I'm very much looking forward to the Sichuan house (dainty) in Melbourne. As much as we love the upscale restaurants, we're equally big fans of the cheap and cheerful restaurants to, so I'm sure we'll be grand and love it. We'll feed our daughter before we go so as not to blow her away w/ the chili.
By the sounds of it Icebergs is a drink/snack spot and either/or Sean's and Rockpool should be added to the "not to be missed!" list.
We'll also definitely check out the dumplings at Din Tai Fun and we'll add Coda to the list. Yum!
Of course we'll "happen" into places, but it's good to have something to start with!
Feedback after we return home... in late Dec!
re: weezy1074
Note that Coda is primarily a bar and so will not be happy with children. If you're going to get a babysitter and go out, there are plenty more options. katea must have been there on a better night than I did - I found it OK (but with potential) and jaw droppingly expensive. I'd much rather go a few doors down to Cumulus.
Back at the cheap end... Hutong on Market Lane is Melbourne's answer to Din Tai Fung. Eat thai in Sydney because Melbourne thai is pretty poor. If its warm, go to Pelligrini on Bourke Street and have a granita (and some cake, I love their plum and chocolate). Coffee dire though.
re: weezy1074
By the way, if you just want the Icebergs view, you can just have a beer at the Icebergs club bar - I think 1 floor above or below at a more cost effective price. Have been underwhelmed on occasions at Icebergs as well as North Bondi Italian. I would also add Bilson's to the not to be missed list - trad French by a Sydney stalwart.
re: mikey8811
Icebergs Dining Room has a very swish cocktail bar next to the restaurant, it is super cool and super trendy (and super expensive). That is on the top floor. On the next level down there is the "Icebergs Swimming Club" which has a casual bistro and bar, it is a members swimming club, but they are happy to sign-in guests who want to visit. The prices here are a lot lower, and the view is the same, but the food comes a very long way behind the view and cheap beer. http://www.icebergs.com.au/index.php?... I don't think Paris Hilton is a regular!
There is an interesting history here. The swimming club occupied this prime bit of real estate and was pretty run down. A couple of wealthy Sydney businessmen made the club the offer of rebuilding the club if they could have the top floor for a fine dining restaurant, the result was a slick new club, and a destination restaurant.
I agree about the patchy food at Icebergs and NBI, but NBI is a great place for the "beautiful people". I also agree about Bilson's, fantastic food, but a pity it is in such an average location.
For great views of Melbourne, drinks and snacks the Atrium bar on level 35 of the Hotel Sofitel comes to mind. Very opulent surroundings. Not sure how they would treat children. It opens at 5pm so maybe arrive around that time for daytime views before the cocktail set arrives. If nothing else, take the elevator up to level 35 and admire the free views from the ladies room! There are also a cafe and restaurant on this level. Not cheap but good food. The Sofitel is at 25 Collins St, Melbourne.
In Sydney you can go for lunch on Magistic Cruises on Sydney Harbour. You will have the most beautiful cruise experience with fabulous food which include thai red fish currey, cured meat, steamed chicken and much more. You can enjoy the sydney harbour sights while you have buffet lunch onboard.
re: MelanieGordon
Mmmmh I have not been on Majestic but have been on lots of other harbour cruises (the curse of corporate hospitality) and IMO I found all the food to be of a similar poor quality.
It also isn't cheap $88 for lunch (+$20 for a beverage package and $20 for a window seat) isn't a bargain. Dinner starts at $125 plus $45 is you want slightly better drinks and then the $20 supplement for a view, again no bargain. A good lunch at Aqua Dining followed by a return trip on the Manly ferry will be better.
Someone once said never trust a restaurant that floats, moves or rotates......
Avoid Half Moon at all costs!!!!
It is not what you saw on "No Reservations". It is nothing but bad pub food, they lost their chef And owner and the menu reads like a TGI Fridays, except less imaginative.
Made that mistake a week ago. It was god awful, undercooked Chicken Parm was the star of the menu. No joke.
First, thanks to everyone who posted comments to my inquiry!
We had a lovely trip to Australia and have returned home to realize that our fine city (SF) is lacking in really good Asian restaurants, but that being the case, we are really spoiled with great food and dining here is generally great value. Quick note before I describe our dining adventures: our daughter who is 2 years and 2 months, a typical active toddler. I'm including her in my comments where appropriate for any others who are traveling with little tots. Most places we visited were very accommodating, a few were less so, and one tried to gauge us. Favorite places hands down, Mamek, Chat Thai and Spice I am.
I discovered Max Brenner's on my first day. I love chocolate and the warm pot of chocolate was a lovely welcome to Sydney! From there we ventured to Mamak. The wait wasn't too long, perhaps 15 minutes, the line moved quickly. We started with the roti with egg and onions and teh tarik (l'd liken it to an indian chai) and a teh hala (same but with ginger added). We ordered a mee goreng - wok tossed noodles (good) but the chicken (ayam goreng) was absolutely gorgeous! Fried chicken malaysian style with a variety of spices that may have included 5 spice, cinnamon, cardamon, clove and perhaps tamarind. It was a lovely sweet and spicy blend. Nasi lemak- very unusual but very tasty and a wonderful blend of textures in this rice, sambal, peanut, hard boiled egg dish. If anyone can direct me to a recipe that would be similar to Mamek's Ayem Goreng I would be forever indebted to you! (we came full circle and went to Mamak on our last night in Sydney too)
Next, strolling through Kings Cross we had a bite at Wagamama which we thought was pretty good for a relatively large chain style restaurant. Great for kids and great value too,the kids meal (incl drink) was free with an adult (this we later found to be somewhat of an anomaly). They even brought crayons for our daughter.
Chat Thai - Haymarket - started with lamb with sticky rice and sausage and garlic (I reeked the next day but it was worth every moment of it!). Quite tasty. This was the first time I ate a Massaman Curry - this pork curry nearly brought tears of joy to my eyes. It was sweet and spicy, cinnamon-y,coconut-ty and simply sublime. Basil chicken - also very good, not very spicy - once I had the Massaman curry though I was done for and I tried to convince my husband to trade dishes with me. Upon our return to SF I found a close approximation of this dish in the Spirit House cookbook. What luck!
Manly - the rain sent us into the Bower Cafe - where we just had coffee and dessert. Just being an understatement, the dark sticky date pudding was as large as my head and it was everything it should be, sticky and gooey. Yum! The restaurant was appealing, but here is where we began to realize that dining in Australia can be quite expensive, more on that below.
Spice I Am - This was fantastic! Sadly I can't recall what we had, some sort of spicy starter, and something even hotter for dinner. I've never had food that made my entire scalp tingle and perspire. This was amazing and I wish I could remember what I ate.
Zaafron - good Indian food, overpriced (we assumed this would be the case, given it's location). We had 2 delightful entrees, wilted spinach battered with chickpea flower and corn fritters which were perfectly spicy. Mains- reef fish curry and an eggplant with okra and chickpeas. Also very good. The waiter asked if we'd like some chicken kabob for our daughter - perfect!. It was lovely but they charged us $15 for 3 small pieces of chicken on 1 skewer. After we received the check I told the waiter it was very unfair to ask if we'd like something for our daughter and to charge so much for it. He removed the charge but I was (and still am) amazed that they get away with this. I expect to pay for my daughter's meal, but $15 for a tiny side of chicken?
Zilver- Amazing yum cha. We have dim sum here, but it just isn't as good. I can't recall what I ate, that morning was a bit of a blur, many people passing steamed baskets around, lots of good dumplings, mini steamed pork buns. There was a very short wait to get in. We ate so much our bellies hurt but it was all worth it, afterall it was our last full day in Sydney.
1 Alfred - we had a good meal here, can't recall much about it...it was good but not extraordinary. I think we both had fish, salmon and spatchcock.
Icebergs- what a lovely setting! We sat in the bar, had cocktails, oysters and fried polenta, and found it very tasty!
We also discovered a little japanese noodle shop near the pedestrian bridge from Darling Harbour. According to the newspaper clippings in the restaurant it was one of the top 3 noodle restaurants in Sydney. Can't for the life of me remember what it was called it was really tasty - great bowls of noodles. (almost too big but aren't noodle shops supposed to be like that?!)
Blackheath - In the end we opted out of Ashcroft's b/c of the expense and instead ate at The Rooster, in Leura (I think). We were very disappointed. It seemed to cater to tourists, capitalizing on their view. French dining (of sorts) it was overpriced and not very good, they also charged us $12 for a bowl of pasta for our daughter. We'd have been better off to have grabbed a picnic and watched the sunset at an overlook.
Disappointed in the Victoria Market. It's a huge sprawling market that didn't appear to be much more than a flea market. The food stalls were ok - perhaps we just went to the wrong part of the market.
Movida - delicious and compact tapas. Very well done. This is not tapas in Seville, and it's much more expensive too. We had an exquisite manchego custard in an egg cup with black truffle. Exquisite! I just wish there would have been a little more. Their croquetta (leek and ?cheese) was lovely. We had to have another order! Had another tapa - shrimp pincho with a romanesco salsa. Quite good, again v. small.
Looking for al fresco dining we ended up at Pop. Looked quite touristy but we were pretty happy with our dinner. Entrees: Parsnip soup with bacon and a hazlenut sour cream. Scallops and blood sausage over some kind of green sauce. Yummmy! Kangaroo with a beer berry sauce and a very tasty butternut squash gnocchi with spinach and pesto.
Sichuan House - I'd not rush back here, glad we tried it. Had something with chicken parts with loads of red chilis. I wish I'd read the menu more closely to see that it was chicken parts, the bones were a drag, we should have gotten the "premium chicken". Don't get me wrong, I liked it, and it was hot - but not as hot/flavorful as Spice I am.
Marios for lunch then a late lunch at Little Critters in Fitzroy. Wish we had a place like Little Critters in SF. Gorgeous casual dining. Pizza with feta, chorizo and rocket. The lamb parcels were very very tasty, essentially lamb and a filling wrapped in a spring roll wrapper. mmmmm!
I wish we'd have been able to make it to Coda. Sorry we didn't.
Perhaps it's due in part because the exchange rate (to the US$) is so bad (for US) but we found dining in Australia to be very expensive. For this reason we decided not to have a fine dining experience. Its not that we don't eat out much, because we do. It's just not as dear to eat out, even when we dine at places that source locally, seasonally, etc. For instance, if we ate at Babbo (NYC), prix fix is $70. We found the "fine dining" to be too dear. Rockpool's prix fix was $200. Again, perhaps it's largely due to the weak US $. But I do wonder if Australian's find it expensive to eat out.
re: weezy1074
Thanks for the feedback on your trip. By Little Critters, I assume you mean Little Creatures in Fitzroy?
When Australians eat out, we predominantly go cheap and cheerful. And we eat out in our suburbs, not the CBD, unless its a special occasion - so you've probably seen the top end. So places like Spice I Am, Rockpool, Movida are more expensive for the relevant cuisines. Overheads are quite high here as well because of minimum wage regulations - remember we don't tip, so there's 10-15% difference before you start.
Sichuan House is unrestrained sichuan cooking, but at least you can say you tried it! I don't like the bony chicken either, but its huge with our Asian poupulation. I always order beans with pork, pork spare ribs with cumin and either a beef hotpot or toothpick beef.
re: weezy1074
Glad you found some good spots and enjoyed yourselves.
Re: the noodle bar, it could be "Menya Noodle Bar" which is in the time Out Top 5 in Sydney: http://www.timeoutsydney.com.au/venue... or http://www.menya.com.au/jp/index.html
I agree Australian food has become really expensive over the last few years, and the US/AUD exchange rate won't have helped. IMO the best value is at the mid-market level, as MrG says lots of this is in the suburbs where competition is higher and prices are keener.
That said I do believe you get good quality and consistency for your money here, there is lots of competition so chefs need be on their game. In the UK I had a 50/50 hit rate but here I usually get a 90/10 hit rate in terms of overall satisfaction at a similar price point.
re: PhilD
Well spotted, the noodle place in Sydney was Menya Noodle Bar! A lovely gem we stumbled upon.
Er, sorry, Little Creatures in Fitzroy not Little Critters. What a great concept of a restaurant.
Thanks for the feedback, we presumed it was the exchange rate and that we were largely in/around CBD. I'm sorry to hear that Australian food has become v.expensive recently, but I'm glad to see it wasn't just our observation. Certainly we weren't expecting prices to super cheap, but didn't expect them to be so much more than we experience here. I can see why cheap and cheerful is popular, as it should be.
We're going to Melbourne for 3 nights - can't wait. My current list:
sichuan house - love this cuisine and we are staying on Exploration Lane, so I think we will be very close. def. ordering cumin pork ribs, can't wait for the spice hit
gills diner
Little Creatures
any other suggestions? will keep researching. Are there still mangosteens in any stores?
nothing too flash since we haven't made any bookings. will be searching for great espresso - maybe St Ali?
re: debbieann
Good choices. Drop me an email with your dates if you're open to company somewhere :-)
Coffee - best coffee in Melbourne atm is Seven Seeds, and you will be staying just around the corner
re: mr_gimlet
would love company!! arriving this fri leaving Monday evening, will figure out how to send email. thanks for mentioning Seven Seeds.
re: debbieann
you should have me from the thai
First, thanks to everyone on this thread.
Sydney. We were there only two days in mid-Feb. 2010, but had a great time while there.
We stayed in Potts Point and there are plenty of great little cafes and delis in the area.
We had a breakfast at 77 Mackay one morning and La Buvette the next - both good and friendly.
Dinner Friday night was at Spice I Am. Recommended. As advertised, pretty spicy. We had duck curry, chinese broccoli and something else. All really good and portions are pretty large. Wish we'd have had more than two people to sample more. Spice I Am is very lively and at times was very loud almost to the point of distraction. Service was good. We had a glass of wine each and I think the total was about AUD 100.
Even though it's in or near The Rocks the Australian Heritage House (Australia Hotel?) seemed to be mostly locals or at least Australians from somewhere. This is a pricier pub but the beers are good and the pizzas really nice.
Longrain is a hip and happening Thai restaurant in Surry Hills just a couple blocks directly south of Hyde Park. I don't think they take reservations and we were lucky to know a couple expat locals who got bar area seats around 6pm where we hung out for well over an hour while the line for drinks extended 10 deep. Anyway, the food was excellent and it's fairly expensive. Community seating adds to a festive atmosphere and service was good. We really liked each dish. We had...
The Eggnet
Braised Beef Shin
Stir Fried Greens
A Green Curry
A Kingfish Curry
Some other beef dish in broth
Note: We were a party of six and it came out to AUD 100 each, but that included an outsized tip (at someone else's insistence) and several bottles of wine.

from Childish Gambino (Ft. Kai) – I. Crawl Lyrics on Genius
Donald tends to share his feelings though messaging devices, and once it is said/sent there's no coming back. His post-it open lettered published on Instagram mid-October is a perfect example of this if not a direct influence for this line (depending on when the song was recorded). Also could be a bit of wordplay, with no re-write because he wrote in felt pen.

Working right in its wheelhouse, the Voices blog names its favorite ten meals for under $6. Of course, this is Sietsema talking, so factor in the $4.50 its going to take you to get up to the Bronx or out to Queens and back. This is an impressive assortment of dumplings, tacos, burgers, noodles, and bnh m, but one question why no love for doubles? A while back, AlwaysHungry had a great rundown of the under-appreciated West Indian chickpea pockets, which deliver about as much bang for the buck as tacos do (perhaps more so, at just $1 each). That site praised Bed Stuys Royal Bakery & Roti House as the best, but we like to score ours in Richmond Hill, because at 107-23 Liberty Avenue, theres a backlit lounge, called Geminis, where you can watch cricket all night. Thats right cricket. Anyway, dem's our two cents.

Veau a la blanquette sans veau?!
I once had veau a la blanquette at a restaurant, and it was fantastic. I see a recipe for this in Thomas Keller's Bouchon, but I am wondering if I can substitute some other type of meat besides veal. I no longer eat veal, and am wondering if beef or lamb or something else might work, and what type of cut I should try.
Using beef or lamb in this dish will change the rather delicate flavor of the blanquette to a more assertive one; lamb and beef don't do so well in white, cream-based sauces as well. I don't eat veal anymore either; I think it's been at least 20 years now since I've had any. I substitute poached and cubed chicken breast for the veal. You'll obviously cook the chicken breast for less time than you would cubed veal shoulder. A cut up whole chicken can be used instead of the chicken breast.
I don't eat lamb anymore, either and there's no substitute for that.
I've never actually ate veal, so I'm not sure how it would compare, but perhaps cubed pork shoulder would work (with chicken stock subbing for the light veal stock). It would hold up to the long cooking time and look just as good in the end. Perhaps chicken legs could work too, but with less final visual appeal.
re: PBSF
Pork, although a "white" meat, will also not be as delicate in flavor as white veal, especially if you use pork shoulder/butt. If you use pork or chicken, I'd use a light chicken stock for poaching, then use that for the sauce base.
The chicken breast or cut up chicken is poached and set aside, as you would with cubed veal shoulder, except the veal is stewed for an hour or so until tender, then the blanched vegetables added and the sauce thickened, to make a long story short. Obviously, you would not poach the chicken nearly as long as veal shoulder. You could make this dish pretty quickly with the chicken, as well.
Not all of the veal sold today is the milk-fed veal wear the young calf is kept confined. They now have pasture raised veal that is a little more assertive in flavor, but still not as strong as beef. The pasture raised veal calf produces cuts of meat that are darker than traditional veal but not deep red like regular beef.
I've only used it once. I'd cook with it more often but it is quite expensive.
re: John E.
I'm able to get pastured veal here in Indiana; in fact, I've got 11 pounds of veal bones in the fridge that are going to become stock tomorrow.
Yikes. Honestly, I wouldn't even bother making a veal blanquette if you don't eat veal. The results of choosing an alternative to veal will make the stew taste completely different. There is no true substitute. That said, you can still make a good stew using the rest of the ingredients ... perhaps with a pork as a replacement for the veal or chicken breast, but it will then be called pork or chicken blanquette. If you use cubed chicken breast, remember to cook the stew for a short period of time otherwise you will end up with "dry chicken blanquette". Sorry. Just my opinion.
re: ahhsugar
"will make the stew taste completely different"
Or maybe just somewhat different. It's certainly true, and I assume the OP is quite aware of that. The veal blanquette ingredients/technique work for chicken or pork also. You can't expect to get the exact recipe results if you substitute another ingredient for the main, but I don't think there will be anything less tasty about chicken or pork prepared in the blanquette manner. Although the original recipe is a classic French dish, I don't see why it can't be modified to suit one's dietary choices.
The OP could call it whatever he/she desires and treat it as his/her own invention.
re: bushwickgirl
I agree; and inasmuch as I encourage those cooks for whom i mentor to step outside of the box as part of their learning adventure, I would encourage the OP to try as many variations as he/she might wish to explore. If our ancestors had failed to follow that philosophy, John Montagu would have ruined a good many decks of cards.
re: ahhsugar
Welcome to the adventures of cooking. My advice; never be afraid to experiment. It's always best to think it through before you act but never be hesitant to make a change in a recipe, except perhaps when your expecting company for dinner. You'll have failures - but nobody ever learned much from success.
When you have a failure you get to investigate to learn why it failed. That's the exciting part of culinary arts.

49ers Make Roster Moves To Prepare For Panthers
Carolina Panthers
Buy Panthers Tickets
Full Schedule
Upcoming Games
By Danny Cox
The Carolina Panthers seem more than prepared to take on any team in the NFL, but the San Francisco 49ers have recently shown that they aren't afraid to make some big time noise for the better of the team.
On Monday, the 49ers made a number of roster moves since some players are back from injuries and others just weren't making the grade. A shocking cut was that of cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha who was considered one of the prize catches of the offseason, but he just didn't last in San Francisco.
First of all, the 49ers activated wide receiver Mario Manningham, who they hope will help escalate the last-ranked passing offense in the entire league.
Manningham comes off of the physically unable to perform list and will be able to give Colin Kaepernick help in the passing game. Aside from Anquan Boldin, the 49ers have had no other production at wide receiver since Michael Crabtree is still recovering from a torn Achilles tendon.
With the activation of Manningham, someone had to go and it ended up being the declining Asomugha. It doesn't seem as if it is going to hurt the team much considering that he was a healthy scratch for the past three games. He played the first three games of the season, got a knee injury, and has been considered expendable with the uprising of Tramaine Brock.
The 49ers also activated cornerback Eric Wright, and he should immediately help a passing defense that is already ranked eighth in the NFL. Their run defense is ranked 12th and that's nothing to shake a stick at. The 49ers being able to have such a strong defense and have Nnamdi Asomugha sitting on the sidelines is something impressive to say.
Offensively, the return of Manningham should help the 49ers in the passing game, and that could be a big problem for the Panthers.
San Francisco has the number one running game in all of football with Frank Gore and Kaepernick leading the way. Should they be able to get their passing game going at all; then that could cause trouble for opposing defenses.
Cam Newton is going to have a tough time on Sunday when the Panthers visit Candlestick Park, but this is not a game that can't be won. If the Panthers can simply continue to play with the same intensity that they've been playing with lately, it could bring about another victory.
Should the Panthers not clean up some mistakes they made this past weekend against the Falcons, then it is going to be a long day on the west coast.

November 24, 2014
The Nebraska Supreme Court affirmed Friday two brothers should not have been found negligent in a 2007 fatal crash where tall corn created a blind intersection.
The crash occurred on October 6, 2007 in Saunders County where two pickups collided at an intersection where the view was obstructed by seven-foot-tall corn planted only feet from the road. The crash killed one passenger and left another, Thomas Latzel, a quadriplegic who died from his injuries three years later.
Latzel's wife Amanda sued the truck drivers and the farmers who planted the corn, but a Saunders County District Court judge granted a motion to dismiss the farmers, Ronald and Doug Bartek, from the lawsuit saying the fault was with the truck drivers for entering a blind intersection.

sideration of epidemiologic and experimental findings for known carcinogens have demonstrated that site-specificity is not necessarily the rule across species. Documentation of persistence of fibers at a target site would represent important evidence in support of biologic plausibility. Although inhaled asbestos fibers clearly pass by the tissues in question in this report, either directly or by swallowing secretions following clearance from the respiratory tract, investigations on fiber persistence in the target organs with definitive findings proved to be unfortunately sparse. Consequently, the epidemiologic data did, in large part, influence the committee's decision-making for these five sites.
The inference of causality for laryngeal cancer reflects the consistency of the evidence from a substantial number of both worker cohorts and general-population case-control studies, an indication of greater risk among more highly exposed persons, and the finding of an association with exposure in studies that addressed potential confounding by tobacco-smoking and alcohol consumption. In considering biologic plausibility, the committee noted that the epithelium of the larynx is similar to the respiratory epithelium lining the conducting airways of the lung. Inhaled fibers pass through the larynx and may deposit there; although fiber deposition and persistence in the larynx have not been studied extensively, there are reports of fibers and asbestos bodies being recovered from laryngeal tissues.
For all the sites for which the evidence was classified as suggestive, the case-control information was less abundant than for laryngeal cancer. For stomach and colorectal cancers, there actually were a few more informative cohorts, but fewer than half as many cohorts provided data on pharyngeal cancer as had on laryngeal cancer. The committee's review found less consistency among the findings of the individual studies for these sites and there was only limited indication of exposure-response relationships. Asbestos fibers could pass through the lumen of the pharynx, stomach, and colon and rectum, but it is uncertain how fibers might interact with the presumed target for carcinogenesis, the cells of the epithelium. Despite sporadic reports of asbestos bodies or fibers being recovered from stomach and colon tissue, information was lacking on the fiber doses received by target cells in the gastrointestinal epithelium. Relevant animal evidence was available from feeding studies, which showed the induction of colon polyps in rats but not the production of malignancy.
The evidence was most sparse for cancer of the esophagus, for which the designation was inadequate. There was a suggestion of an exposure-response relationship from the available cohort studies, but the summary estimate of 0.99 for any asbestos exposure was indicative of no association. Only three case-control studies were identified, and investigation of potential confounding was limited. Animal-feeding studies did not show production of esophageal cancers.
