Farewell NCM2169

[Guest ryan2552]

Like most I was sadden to read the news NCM has left this world. I didn't really care for much of what he posted however he was a longtime member of this community who deserves a proper goodbye.

 

He never allowed you to sit on the fence thats for certain. He challenged then came back at you again. And if that didn't get your attention he would start emailing you lol.

 

So why did so many here enjoy NCM? I believe because NCM was always here to share and exchange information with anyone that asked. Whether he was pushing a escort he "didn't manage" or giving advice on a hotel to stay at the man always extended himself to this community.

 

NCM and I did have some common ground, cooking. He loved to share recipes and general cooking tips. So with this in mind I wanted to say farewell in a way I think he would find appropriate a food thread.

 

Now this is not my recipe however I love cupcakes and thought he might enjoy these as well. If you all have a recipe please feel free to add it he would have like to see whats cooking at your place.

 

Chocolate Strawberry Cupcakes

 

125g (3 1/2 oz) unsalted butter

1 cup plus 1 tbs plain flour

1/4 cup cocoa

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

I am sure he raged against the dying of the light and did not go gentle into that good night.

 

Think well of us now and then, old friend.

My mother's family came to Virginia from Scotland by way of Northern Ireland in the mid 17th century. This recipe came with them. Each Christmas I make them as gifts for family, friends and neighbors. I have just finished baking the 14th one thus far this year. I dislike traditional fruit cake but love this.

1½ cups Sugar

3 Large Eggs

1 cup Buttermilk

1 cup Butter, melted

1 tsp. Baking Powder

1 cup Prunes, stewed until soft

1 cup Raisins, soaked in warm water

1 cup Walnuts, chopped

1¾ cups Flour

 

Method:

Mix together with hands stewed prunes soaked raisins and chopped walnuts. Add the prune mixture to the sugar and eggs and mix well. Add flour a little at a time alternating with buttermilk, and melted butter and mix well.

ryan2552, here is what the family transmitted to me today:

___________________________

 

"... you and all his friends should know that he lived for the future - for himself and everyone else.

He loved music, and to his end he made us play it for him.

 

This is the last song he heard before he left us:

 

"

___________________________

 

Hold on tight to your dream

Hold on tight to your dream

When you see your ship go sailing

When you feel your heart is breaking

Hold on tight to your dream.

 

It's a long time to be gone

Time just rolls on and on

When you need a shoulder to cry on

When you get so sick of trying

Just hold tight to your dream

 

CHORUS:

When you get so down that you can't get up

And you want so much but you're all out of luck

When you're so downhearted and misunderstood

Just over and over and over you could

 

Accroches-toi à ton rêve

Accroches-toi à ton rêve

Quand tu vois ton bateau partir

Quand tu sens ton coeur se briser

Accroches-toi à ton rêve.

 

REPEAT CHORUS:

 

Hold on tight to your dream

Hold on tight to your dream

When you see the shadows falling

When you hear that cold wind calling

Hold on tight to your dream.

 

Oh, yeah

Hold on tight to your dream

Yeah, hold on tight...

To your dream.

 

Rest in peace, ncm2169
