It starts innocently enough, I suppose. My thought process is nice and simple... in the beginning. "I'm a bit peckish. I think I'll see what we have to eat."

Then it continues.

"Hmm. Dried out old white rice. I hear it's possible to refresh that with water in the microwave. I'll try that."

"Homn. Needs another go around."

"Third time's the charm. Extra water this time, and for longer."

"Good, good! Not the best, but edible. Some butter, melts quick, still hot... Now, I wonder if we have parsley?"

"Mm, parsley flakes. Getting better, now, some salt, pepper.. I smell lemon. I wonder if we have lemon juice?"

I still think I maybe should have added more, and wish I had some shrimp.
