>be grad student studying middle eastern archaeology
>go to Syria for six weeks for excavation on the middle Euphrates
>excavation director hires guy from Aleppo to cook for the crew and students
>boiled eggs with bought in flat bread and amused bovine cheese become staple of breakfast and lunch because 'cook' doesn't want to actually cook anything that takes more than one step or ingredient
>boiled eggs regularly left on the stove for half an hour or more while 'cook' takes a nap or tries to flirt with female students
>yolks are, of course, almost always blue-green
>mfw I would time the eggs and turn off the heat after 10 minutes so the eggs weren't totally fucked but the 'cook' would come back after his nap to find the water not boiling, turn the heat on again and take another nap

we ended up having students volunteer to cook three or four dinners each week just so we could have real meals.
I also spent half an hour being interviewed by immigration when I returned after six weeks of not shaving or trimming my beard.
