Senator Murphy Still Welcomes Syrian Refugees

Senator Murphy was at the Bigelow Senior Center in Fairfield today to discuss a proposed bill for care providers of senior citizens.

“My question was that senior citizens received no cost of living pay raise on social security yet he favors spending millions of dollars on bringing tens of thousands of Syrian refugees into America, in light of the attack in Brussels today, is that still a good idea”?

He said he’d be happy to talk to me about it later. Afterwards he answered questions to a radio station reporter but when I was about follow up my question his aide whisked him away. Here is his brief response to me and the audience-

4 Pound Powerhouse Porterhouse by Cast Iron Chef Attilio Marini

Attilio Marini has added mouth-watering sizzle to the menu at Marisa’s in Trumbull, CT a unique cooking process that features cuts of meat presented in steaming cast iron skillets blending a sensual marriage of crust on the outside with tenderness on the inside.
His signature is the 4-pound powerhouse porterhouse for two, sliced off the bone delivered in a sizzling skillet with potatoes, butter and roasted garlic.
“I don’t like the taste of char broiled meat,” Chef Marini says. “I knew there had to be a better way to make a steak and creating the perfect crust, which is my signature. When you dine with us the experience is a memorable meal at a tasty price below the cost of high-end steakhouses. This is an old way of cooking with a new twist,” he says of preparation in cast iron.
Cast iron cooking requires intensely hot ovens and stove tops. The jaw-dropping presentation at the table doubles the delight of dinner customers, according to Tom Purcell who travels from Ansonia in the Naugatuck Valley to the restaurant on a regular basis for the beefy experience.
“It’s incredible the way they cut it,” says Purcell. “When it arrives you admire it for a bit before digging in. And the caramelized garlic, wow.”
