Love & Dishes

Marcus and Alise have some amazing BBQ, and some OK BBQ. Alise and Marcus are drinking again, but sharing what is in the glass. The farmer's market has gotten a little disappointing. Puppies. Enjoy!

A special adults only episode: Alise and Marcus make other people's weddings about themselves, and Alise decides to give an impromptu sex ed class for the masturbatorily (is that EVEN a word?) challenged.

Alise is losing her mind over the idea of nude sunbathing. Marcus can't remember a movie title to save his life. And they both might end up stalking Ruth Reichl in the Berkshires. (Just Kidding)

Alise is not feeling well, but Marcus may/may not be helpful. A look back at a past engagement reveals new information. Marcus is off the wagon. And, there are some potential life changing events coming. How will this effect them?

Alise tells you all about eating our way through New York City. Momofuku Milk Bar, Seed & Mill, Berlin Currywurst, and much more. What happens when the wine she is drinking comes to an end? 

Alise tells you all about some hot joints in our nation's capital. Marcus brings up a romantic hot spot. And, both just try to survive. Ok, it isn't that dramatic, but it is interesting.

Alise answers a listener's questions about stuff she may or may not have done. Also, she gets into taking care of Marcus who, apparently, isn't the best patient. Alise asks a personal question. And, Alise has been reading some strange books.

Marcus and Alise return. Why? Alise wants to talk about hitting 6 years of marriage and the art of arguing. But, there may be some disagreement over that.

This week we cover the Ashley Madison data hack, what that may mean for some couples and what exactly IS cheating. Seems to be a battle of the sexes on this one. The show ends with a bit of cheatin' bacon. Don't miss this one! **For adults only.* Alise swears ALOT.

Marcus and Alise are having a mixed bag of events going on, but first they got to taste some butternut squash donuts from Rockville Market Farm. Hear how social media can work when used correctly and good businesses respond to their customers. Thanks City Market in Burlington, VT! Marcus is going to be house poor, and is under water already as the pipe blows. Can that be it? Listen and find out. Share with a friend. We thank you for listening.

We are back. But, be warned... we are back with a new take. Today, we talk about how social media is affecting our past relationships, and jealously that comes from observing some of our friends. Thank you for listening!

Don't mess with Vermont! Alise is on the warpath fighting injustice involving BACON and bigotry. Listen to the controversy and weigh in. Marcus tries to stay apolitical but Alise is taking bets that he can't help himself. Homework for this episode is reading the Seven Days article about all the BACON backlash and Sneakers Bistro in Winooski, Vermont.

Marcus and Alise discuss a movie, "Begin Again", and it is poetic since halfway through they have to begin the show again. Alise is baking pies and princess cakes so we talk about competittions and her apple pie recipe. Marcus needs to vent a little as well, but don't we all, sometimes. Thanks for listening.

This show continues a conversation from episode 37 talking about movies which leads into parenting. What could possibly go wrong? We receive a great note from a new listener who we are totally ok with even though she is vegan. ;) Marcus and Alise keep it as real as it gets in this episode. Thanks for listening. 

Marcus and Alise have another round debating love, like, and what it means to each other. This is the first part of a two part show. We hope you enjoy our look at what love means or doesn't. The food we are enjoying and not. Updates on one of our favorite chef/friends, and Alise got into an accident. We start our conversation about things we are watching... but it ran into part 2 which will be out soon. Thanks for listening.

Marcus and Alise talk about helping each other with some eating habits as well as sabotage. They share some stories from the Burlington Wine and Food Festival which includes prosecco, simple syrup, and pot. They were judging a bartending competition. And, hear a soda recommendation for those who enjoy old fashioned drinks. You can follow the show on social media at facebook.com/loveanddishes and @LoveandDishes.

Marcus and Alise share a couple stories about a recent visit to a bed & breakfast that was like being at grandma's house when she wasn't taking her happy pills. Also, Marcus and Alise have a date night, and Marcus is served the meal from ... well, not a good place. Love & Dishes also highly recommends you check out Pine Street Biscuits in Portland, OR for its delicious food and taste of the south in the northwest. You can find more show info at facebook.com/loveanddishes, @loveanddishes, and loveanddishes.com. Thanks for listening.

Marcus is on his own this show, but he shares a bit of the weekend including some new food joints. Get caught up on what is happening with him and Alise and his health. Short, sweet, and hopefully you enjoy. Thanks.

Marcus and Alise discuss their trip to Chicago, Marcus Death Day, and a recipe from Alise. Hear about some amazing food at Eataly and Girl & The Goat. Catch what could be the last show... or not. BTW, find out why Alise may end up on the NO-FLY List. Check out recipes from this show at loveanddishes.com. Thanks.

Marcus and Alise talk about some things that have brought some fear and need for change. They answer a listener's question, and Marcus gives Alise permission to move on. It is more serious than they would hope, but sometimes relationships must face these things to be stronger.
