Set a medium saucepan on the stove and pour in 8 cups (1,900ml) of chicken broth. Turn the burner on low and let the broth heat up. Keep the heat on low while you begin the risotto. The broth should be about the same temperature as the rice in order to make the risotto creamy. This is why it's important to not add cold or boiling hot stock. If you'd like to make the risotto vegetarian, substitute vegetable stock for the chicken broth. Remove 1 cup (240ml) of the broth and pour it into a bowl. Add 1 ounce (28 g) of dried porcini mushrooms and stir them so they begin to absorb the hot broth. Leave the mushrooms to rehydrate for 20 minutes and then drain them. Keep soaking the mushrooms until they're soft. Pour 1 tablespoon (15ml) of the olive oil into a large skillet and turn the burner to medium. Once the oil shimmers, stir in 1/2 of the diced onion and 1 minced garlic clove. Stir and cook the mixture until the onion softens and becomes clear. Stir the onion and garlic frequently to prevent it from sticking and burning to the bottom of the skillet. Slice 1 pound (450g) of fresh portobello and crimini mushrooms into 1/2 in (1.3 cm) thick pieces. Add them to the skillet along with 2 bay leaves, 2 tablespoons (7 g) of chopped fresh thyme, 2 tablespoons (7.5 g) of fresh chopped Italian parsley, and 2 tablespoons (28 g) of butter. Use a mix of portobello and crimini. If you only have one type of mushroom, use a full pound (450 g) of whichever kind you have. Keep the burner at medium heat and cook the vegetables and herbs until the mushrooms are lightly browned. Stir in a little salt and pepper to taste. If the mushrooms look like they're browning too quickly, you may need to adjust the burner. Pour 1 tablespoon (15ml) of truffle oil into the skillet and stir in the rehydrated porcini mushrooms. Add more salt and pepper according to your taste and let the mixture cook for 1 minute. Turn off the burner and set the mushroom mixture aside. If you don't have truffle oil, you can leave it out since it's purely to add extra-mushroom flavor. Or, you can try making your own truffle oil.

Mango pairs well with other fruit, so you can mix the prepared mango juice with equal parts of your favorite juice.

To add an herbal flavor, you could put a small handful of fresh mint instead. Play around with adding other fresh herbs. You could use different varieties of basil, such as lemon basil or spicy basil. Blend 1/2 cup (120 g) of yogurt with 1 cup (240ml) of the prepared mango juice and 2 ice cubes. To sweeten the lassi, you could blend in around 1 teaspoon (4 g) of sugar or honey. Substitute soy yogurt for a non-dairy mango lassi. Use flavored yogurt if you like an even sweeter lassi. Try mango, strawberry, peach, or vanilla yogurt, for instance. If you like tangy mango juice, stir equal parts of lemonade with the prepared mango juice. Taste the mango lemonade to see if you'd like to stir in sweetener, such as honey or simple syrup. To play around with flavors, try mixing the mango juice with limeade. Create a healthy mango smoothie by adding around 1 cup (175 g) of fresh fruit, such as strawberries, bananas, peaches, or blueberries to the blender with the mango juice ingredients. If your blender is strong enough, you could even add sliced carrot, kale, or spinach! To make the mango smoothie even creamier, add 1/2 of an avocado.

Rock is edgy, angry, and anti-authoritarian.The most common themes in rock music are rebellion, liberation, sex, and drug use. Romantic love is also a huge theme in the genre. Use your own experiences as an inspiration. If you want your rock song to sound authentic, you'll need to know how it feels to go through the things you're writing about. John Lennon's song "Cold Turkey," for example, is about his experience quitting heroin. Listen for catchy phrases in real life, look for them in books, and watch out for them on TV shows and in movies. Write down anything that sticks out to you in a notebook or on your phone. These phrases can become the title of your song, and that title can be the foundation of your lyrics in the chorus and verses. Play around with your title ideas and various melodies to see if you can come up with anything particularly catchy. Once you do, that can serve as your hook, the part of the song that sticks in your listeners' heads and stays there because it's pithy and memorable. A quick rule of thumb for determining a hook's catchiness: if a lyrical or melodic phrase sticks in your head, it will probably stick in other people's heads. A variation of the title of the Rolling Stones' song "Paint It Black," for instance, serves as part of the hook: "I see a red door and I want it painted black."
