He's having a blast. They have done some visits to local farms and he's regaled me with tales from some of his lectures, which include in depth analysis of salt and herbs at the moment. (That just sounds SOOOO exciting, doesn't it?)

The poor child has been subjected to eating low class college food.

So far his dinners have included black bass bouillabaisse, grilled shrimp, beef on some sugared skewers, korean BBQ ribs, foie gras with poached pear and scallops au gratin. Those are what I can recall off the top of my head although there is much more. Quite a change from the meals they offered when I was at college. I think he is relishing being on his own. He has a room all to himself so he feels like a king. Meanwhile, I'm a home feeling as though my right arm has been cut off.
