LOL I think I assumed because you said you were eight. My bad. My parents never exposed us much to it. (The first wine my mother let me have I had asked for a glass. It was the kind that comes in a box. lol I forget how old I was, but it was old enough to drive.) The house party was pretty chill. It was like the normal hanging out, but a few more guests and there was alcohol. *shrugs* I stayed the night and helped her clean up the next day. Her parents came back to a home that was cleaner than when they left. :) My friends from my high school would have been shocked. I was voted "class angel" for the high school superlatives in the senior year book. I'd met the friend who threw the party when I was working at a grocery store after school in the next town over. One of the older ladies would teasingly refer to us as the angel and the devil, because she was sort of trouble & I'm really not. LOL
He could do what my SO and I do. We only buy what we're going to eat in the next few days. We're not into much prepackaged or canned food and the fresh stuff goes bad quick. So, it usually results in several small trips to the grocery store each week. (Fortunately my SO makes most of these small trips. I usually just go to Whole Foods on the weekend to get my goat dairy fix and some odds and ends. lol.) Anyway, there are moments where we have no food - usually means on of us is making a trip later in the day or stopping at the store on our way home.
I could see the forgetting to eat thing - especially if he were like me when I'm alone studying on the weekend. lol. Thing is - Matt gets a lot of physical activity. I know this rugby player at school and he's always planning carefully to get this huge amount of calories on a schedule and cooking chicken breasts and things. (I once asked him and he said it was something like 4,000+ or so if memory serves.) I'd assume being the Devil of Hell's Kitchen would be about as demanding or more. So, he must be eating something...
I recognize one of the brands of jelly he had out on the table when he was making breakfast for Claire. (I think that was the scene I noticed it. It was on the table at one point.) Anyway, I found it amusing because it's definitely organic. http://www.santacruzorganic.com/products/fruit-spreads I also think that brand tends to be over-priced, but I'd probably buy it in a pinch, if that were my only option and I needed a jelly for some reason. (I put a lot of thought into keeping our food prices down, but organic doesn't have to be expensive if you do it right - sometimes it even comes out cheaper.)
Maybe he does eat a lot of rice? It's not the worst thing you could eat. It's calories. And, maybe he makes chicken, vegetables, and what not, but at the time he was just out of leftovers? He could have even had fresh chicken in the fridge, when Karen was there, but nothing prepared and wouldn't want her to wait 50 minutes for it to cook? *shrugs*
