½ S/N Asian (40%+ Chinese) ½ Norwegian/Danish-Irish Swiss (Amish/PA) German French Dutch? French+Dutch Celtic-Irish English-Irish?

If we're going solely on looks the your chilli looks better but I'm all about the taste.
While Donna's chilli seems to lack the texture I'd expect from a chilli she did make it from scratch and so respect where it is due
My chilli takes two days to make properly and about thirty minutes to be scoffed completely.
It's a grueling experience but somehow worth it.

Oh you are a good cook, Juan. I can be a dab hand in the kitchen myself…my specialty is sausage, chips and beans. I use Richmond pork sausages, McCain oven chips and Heinz Beanz.

It is very easy to make too Juan.
First you put your sausages under the grill, turning them frequently.
Then you lay out your chips on a baking tray and pop em in the oven for baby and me for 25 minutes
Lastly you warm up your beans on the hob in a saucepan and you do that last as they take the less time to do.
I was taught how to do all of this in my life skills class along with some other great recipes.

Yes. I put HP sauce, Heinz Ketchup and Coleman’s English Mustard on. ALL OVER IT!
Padgett puts salad cream and reggae reggae sauce on his when he comes round for tea and I make it.

It’s lovely cooking for friends when they come round isn’t it Juan.
I want to cook for Chloe but I don’t think that she wants. I text her and her responses are just closed and one sentence cut offs.

Maybe her boyfriend gets jealous Bobby?
I wouldn't worry, ask her if he wants to meet up for a picnic at some point over Spring or Summer. Make a day of it with the dog and a Frisbee. You can prepare some food for the occasion

I just get sad because I want to make sausage chips and beans for her.

How do I make a picnic? Is it sandwiches and quiche and scotch eggs and sausage rolls and crisps and Kit Kats and pop?

Scotch eggs aren't worth the effort in my opinion Bobby but a nice quiche sounds good.
They aren't the hardest to make but will require practice before you present one at a picnic. Maybe just buy one already made as that will be easier.
Some bread, cheese, pate, olives, roasted peppers and nuts make for a good picnic
Maybe some wine if you are allowed to drink outside where you are (Not allowed in Scotland
)
But generally just play it by ear and have a couple of quid in your pocket for anything that might need purchasing.
It's all about relaxing and taking in the day
