Nutrition facts: 340 calories, 3 grams fat
Ingredients 1/4 cup butter 1 cup uncooked long-grain white rice 1 piece of stick cinnamon, 2 inches long 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric 1/2 teaspoon sugar 1/4 teaspoon ground saffron 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup seedless raisins 2 cup boiling water
Directions In a heavy 2 to 3 quart saucepan, melt the butter over moderate heat. When the foam begins to subside, add the rice and stir until the grains are coated with butter. Do not let the rice brown. Add the water, cinnamon, turmeric, saffron and salt and, stirring constantly, bring to boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover tightly, and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed all the liquid in the pan. Remove the pan from the heat, discard the cinnamon stick, and add the raisins. Fluff the rice with a fork, stir in 1 teaspoon of sugar, taste, and add more if you wish. Cut a circle of wax paper or foil and place it inside the pan directly on top of the rice. Cover the pan with its lid and let it stand at room temperature for about 20 minutes.
Eastern
coasts of Caribbean, United States, and South America, are in danger of being blasted

warmest while the Sahara is at its hottest from July through October, so the
chances of a hurricane are highest during these months. Hurricanes
are gigantic weather systems using convection, the movement of hot and cold
air, to create dangerous storms. They are rotating heat engines powered by the
warmth of tropical waters having three main parts, the eye, the eyewall, and
rainbands.

for hot and humid air. They normally form close to the equator and move west or
northwest. Hurricane Alley is a stretch of warm water through the Atlantic

closing her eyes so the justice. Galschiot symbolized the woman as being blind, refusing to see the obvious
injustice. For the rich people of the world the main issue in life is that of overeating while people in the third world are dying every day from
hunger. The misery of imbalanced wealth distribution is creating floods of refugees. However the rich only want to preserve their privileges and take measures so harsh against the poor, they betray their morals …

It's easy to talk the talk and give advice on love, careers or even recycling on how things should be done. But, the person giving the advice does not act in a way that agrees with the advice they are giving. The proverb implies that a person should back up their talking with action.

Beware of the naked man who offers you clothes is a proverb used to call out hypocrites; people who are single but give advice on how to have a happy marriage, a person who is overweight supplying dieting tips, environmentalists who do not recycle, people on social media who want to show you how to become rich when they are poor, and politicians who send their children to private school while making speeches on the virtues of public school.
