The Salad

On Wednesday, August 15th, Nic and I went to Ciaoti Pizza Cafe before my doctor appointment so I could have their famed salad that is rumored to induce labor. It was so fun! As soon as we walked in a man asked if we were there for the salad and told us we better be ready to meet our baby if I'm eating the salad because it worked for his wife! He also seemed very shocked that I was so close to my due date (a common reaction I get despite the fact that I am supposedly carrying a gigantic baby!). The waitress came over with menus. I ordered the salad and Nic ordered a sandwich. The waitress brought out garlic knots, which were delicious, along with our food. She gave me an extra serving of dressing on the side for good measure along with newspaper articles to read about the salad and a book to sign. They apparently have book upon book signed by pregnant women many of whom come back and update with their success stories. It was fun to read some of the entries from others and the articles were interesting as well. While we were there, 3 other pregnant women came in for the salad! It was pretty funny! We had a great time and even if the salad doesn't work, it was delicious and made for a really fun lunch.
