    1       qt           Hot water
    1       lb           Fresh mushrooms
      1/2                Onion, minced
    4       T            Butter
    1       pn           Thyme,salt,pepper
    1       c            Sour cream
    2       T            Brandy, sherry
    1       lb           Egg noodles
    2       oz           Dried mushrooms
 
   Soak the dried mushrooms in a quart of hot water for
   several hours. Drain, reserving the liquid.  Wash
   mushrooms under running water, one by one, and trim
   off the hard stems.  Cut in wide strips.  Strain the
   liquid through cheesecloth, there should be about 2
   cups.  Simmer the liquid until it is reduced by
   slightly more than half.  Thickly slice the fresh
   mushrooms.  Saute the minced onion in butter until
   they are transparent, then add the sliced fresh
   mushrooms and toss over high heat until they have
   released their excess water and it is starting to
   evaporate.  Season with thyme, salt and pepper to
   taste.  Add the soaked mushroom strips and reduce the
   heat to medium-low.  Gradually whisk the mushroom
   liquid into the sour cream, and add this mixture to
   the mushrooms.  Simmer gently, stirring often, for 15
   to 20 min.  Stir in the brandy and sherry.  Boil the
   noodles in salted water until they are just tender,
   but not yet soft. Serve with stroganoff sauce, and a
   crisp salad.
