True to form,
Choi and my most vivid memory of the night we got engaged revolves around food. We got engaged on the L'Enfant map of DC on Freedom Plaza. After that we walked over to The Willard Hotel to have dinner in the The Willard Room. During dinner the
waiter told us a story of how the mushrooms in the risotto were
available only to the Willard room because they buy every mushroom that a secret farmer in a secret location finds.
Needless to say our pallets were ready for some secret mushrooms in risotto. At that time in our lives neither of us had ever had Morel Mushrooms. We quickly joined the ranks of Morel devotees. I highly suggest them. They're delicious. Here's a photo from our latest batch of Morel Mushroom Risotto. We used an adaptation of Michelle Walton's Mushroom Risotto Recipe. Thanks Michelle!!
