Emotionally confusing but very tasty midnight snack of chicory and hummus.
This has been a go to midnight snack for a couple of years until 19 december 2019. Worked perfectly with my diabetes, I love the taste, and it gives me an extra portion of veggies as well.
Also, my old dog absolutely loved hummus and he got a generous lick of it every night before we went to sleep.
On that 19th december, 6 years after my father peacefully passed away in my living room, I had to say goodbye to my dog in that same living room, GP having been changed to vet, circumstances much the same.
The first injection hurt the dog so I quickly had someone retrieve the tub of hummus next to my bed to distract the dog, and Hidde went, happily licking the hummus, pain forgotten.
And then I couldn't eat chicory and hummus without crying again so I lost my favourite bedtime snack.
I tried every once in a while but it didn't get better so I gave up.
Today the hummus was buy one, get one for free, so time to try again and I didn't cry!
Still, not the easy chomping away it was when Hidde was still sharing, and it will take a lot of practice to have it turn back to just another food again, but maybe this is the start of getting there, I'd love to finally have my favourite midnight snack back!
