Green breakfast

I took the leftover bean puree (white beans, parsley, roasted garlic, olive oil) from the socca dish and made patties with it. We have bean patties all the time, made out of many different beans. These were our first green ones though.
To make the patties, I just mix mashed beans with spices and breadcrumbs. All I did to the puree was add basil and breadcrumbs. Then I had tasty little morsels that I ate for breakfast (with my green veggie/fruit juice which is like caffeine for me):
and also for lunch and dinner. The roasted garlic made this really good.

I also visited my friend who is a gourmet cook and borrowed a potato ricer and a couple of pizzelle makers. She has everything (oh, and I do mean everything), so the handsome man around here suggested that I try things out before I buy them.

The pizzelle maker was a big hit. The pizzelles were different than what I remember as a girl with an Italian mother. If I can find an electric, easy-to-clean one that makes the pizzelles that I remember, I'll get it. Actually, I'll ask my mom today is she still has one. And then I'll try adding shredded veggies to socca and see how it turns out...and then I'll pick a paint color for the bathroom...and then I'll do my volunteer work...and then I'll do my real job...

I really need to work on making up my own patties. I know I'd love them, but I've only done ones from recipes so far. I love that you make them all the time.
