Gluttony - noun. glut-ton-y, Excessive eating and drinking.

We spent a nice long weekend with our friend Mary (more pics of that later) holed up in our little house trying to stay warm. Caleb's weekend wasn't as long as mine and Mary's, as he had to go back to work. I think we went to Amelie's French Bakery everyday starting Friday, it's so unbelievably delicious...(ameliesfrenchbakery.com). If you are ever in Charlotte you must go there and have something to eat, it's pretty awesome. They have chocolates and breakfast foods and savories and lunches and the best soup I think I've ever had (ie. portabello and caramelized onions with goat cheese). And, lucky for you, it doesn't matter what time you're in Charlotte as they are open 24 hours a day. Located on the edge of NODA (28th and North Davidson), you're also in the coolest neighborhood in Charlotte and so close to us, come visit, and bring food!
I love the feeling of the place. The design is kitschy and French, and warm and cozy. With the urban feel of the open ceiling and the exposed concrete they throw in large curtains and glass chandeliers, also with a lot of old and mismatched chairs, it's such a comfortable environment.

Don't forget the food...
And the food...
And more food...that is the owner in the back of the picture. The nicest man you'll meet who just wants you to be a happy customer, feel free to ask for samples, but I'm sure he'll offer first.
