So, we had all this paskha to give to people on Holy Pascha. But it didn't set up right. It just turned into glop in the baskets. But we had several still in the refrigerator at home. Given a few extra days they set up nicely. But what to do with them all? We can't eat them all so I gave one to the old woman who lives next door. She has had a rough time of it lately. She was bit by a cat and wound up in the hospital for a week. Her youngest son is crazy (his dog talks to him about the end of the world and hidden planets) and pretty much all she has in her life is ESPN. When we gave her the paskha she was totally overwhelmed with happiness and started to cry. It is the best thing I've experienced this Bright Week. About paskha molds. We have one but don't use it. We tried it one year and it mutilated the paskha. Now we use terra cotta pots. Martha Stewart, in her book "Entertaining" (the best cookbook I have ever used.) recommends a cone seive. I wonder what other things people have used in lieu of a traditional treen paskha mold. Do you use anything unusual?

Sniff, sniff. That's beautiful.
I have actually never made it, but I do know of people who mold it in flowerpots.
