Easy Tasty Rice For Sad Bitches With Seasonal Depression

i don't have a photo for this one because it is not attractive so i never take pics. but it is tasty and will save you from depression-induced starvation. it's adapted from a recipe for a chicken casserole, but you don't have to prepare any chicken. because uuuuuuuuuuugh too tired. i like it because all the steps happen at once, there aren't many, and you can just walk away until it's ready to eat. it's also dirt cheap to make. it's pretty filling and can serve two people, if you have a housemate who is also suffering the effects of Existing At The Wrong Latitude To Be Getting Enough Vitamin D

Ingredients
• 2 cups of rice
• 1 regular can of condensed cream-of-whatever soup (i usually use cream of mushroom)
• rice cooker (i'm counting it as an ingredient)
• some water
• some spices that sound good to you and are within reach (i usually use garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, paprika, MSG and a lil table salt)

Directions
• put 2 cups of white rice (any ol white rice) into the rice cooker.
• empty the soup can on top of the rice. ssssssssssssshlorp splorp
• take a moment to meditate on the Condensed Soup Blob lying on the rice. the only difference between you and this blob is that you have bones and skin to hold the jiggly parts of you together, probably. she's just like me fr
• add water and stir until the water level looks about right for the amount of rice you put into your rice cooker. (mine has marks on the inside that are numbered, so like, if you used 2 cups of rice, you fill it to the line labeled 2.) when in doubt, slightly too much is better than not enough. you can always just cook off the extra moisture.
• add spices until you feel like there's enough spices. i usually go until i've sort of covered the entire surface of the water in a layer of floaty spices. now stir.
• cook! however you would cook this much regular rice. press that button.
• lie on the floor until it's done
• it'll probably have a few pools of standing liquid when you open the lid. that's fine. just give it a stir.
• live another day until the stupid sun comes back and makes your stupid brain less bad

Notes
• if it comes out crunchy, just add some more water and cook it some more LOL
• seriously one time i just put water in the bowl and microwaved it for a few minutes with a cover over it and it fixed my accidental crunchiness
• works well with store-brand soups that may otherwise be kind of questionable
