40 years ago today Strawberry Switchblade played the Shaw Theatre in London. Here's Being Cold from that gig.Since Yesterday came out a month earlier & was in the lower end of the charts. The album was ready, & they played this gig as a duo with studio-made backing tapes.

I first moved to #Norwich as a student in 1997…the year #DeliaSmith financially saved the #Canaries. My flatmate the following year had lived in Norwich all his life and lived for games at Carrow Road.

Today I learned that long time British celebrity cook Delia Smith popular in the 80s created the cake that is featured on the album "Let it bleed" by The Who.

'Better than a doughnut? #DeliaSmith dishes up a deep-fried jam sandwich. ...[She] showed her taste for the adventurous this week by adding a deep-fried jam sandwich to the menu of one of her restaurants – after trying it in a fish and chip shop.' https://www.theguardian.com/food/2023/jul/14/better-than-a-doughnut-delia-smith-dishes-up-a-deep-fried-jam-sandwich #snacks #chippy

'This book [Summer Collection] and the accompanying TV series changed British cooking forever. Delia didn’t invent much but she brought things to the mainstream.' https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/in-praise-of-delia-smith/ #foodhistory #cookery #DeliaSmith
