Things I've Always Wondered...

Before you had kids, did you make vegetable side dishes to go with dinner? I made a risotto last night for Irene (a labor of love, let me tell you) and the thought of making a side of green beans or broccoli, or whatever, occurred to me. But I rarely bother with such things when it's just Irene and me.

Yet, I recall vegetable sides regularly growing up. Did you two always used to make them, or is it only an obligation once you have children?
