These days, restaurants—so precious that I want to squeeze their white-washed and reclaimed wood cheeks—are squeezing all sorts of tasty cakes, crisps, puddings and brulées into Mason and Ball jars.
Adorable.
But what looks like a saccharine craft project becomes another kind of project, as I try to scrape, pull, and otherwise extract all of the tasty goodness out of the jar and into my piehole with a spoon or fork that doesn't have the same curvature. Serve my molten chocolate cake with a spatula, if you insist on stuffing it into a jar better suited for jam.
Let my dessert breathe on the plate, so I can breathe a sigh of relief.
(The idea for this post comes from a friend with the last name, ironically, of Mason.)

I hate any food in a damn jar you can't scrape out properly. All that wasted goodness unless you stick your finger in.
