Method
Dry-fry the chorizo for a few mins in a non-stick frying pan until crisp.
Carefully pour off any fat from the pan, then tip in the tomatoes and beans with 100ml water add chilli.

Things I'm loving right now..

1. A big glass of cold Chardonnay on a sunny afternoon, so refreshing and great way to relax
2. My new Blackberry, I'm slowly but surely getting used to it. It's the begining of a long lasting relationship me thinks..
3. Trawling flea markets on weekends, finding cute nic-naks and buying good books for cheap
4. The Real Housewives of New York City! Being a housewife myself, I'm obsessed with it at the mo, love seeing how they live and interact with each other
5. Receiving unexpected telephone calls from my friends abroad! Best feeling in the world knowing they were thinking about you :-)
