Ode to a French Bistro

French bistro, I love thee.

You are my respite 

From the storms of everyday life. 

With unsurpassable casual coolness,

And a croque monsieur that rocks my world 

I choose you above all others. 

Yours is a cappuccino that melts my heart. 

Okay, so I'm no poet, but when I saw these bistro inspired goodies from Williams Sonoma I couldn't help but think of lazy afternoons spent sipping frothy cappuccinos from these cups and nibbling on a pain au chocolat street side in Paris. I'm no Paris resident, though I wish I was, so thank you to Williams Sonoma for letting me have a little taste of Paris in my Stateside kitchen!
