Frozen Fruit Anyone?

As I am beginning to feel the fury of the Beijing winter (which is comparable to Nebraska, but without all of the snow that gets dumped on the American Midwest), I am still enjoying the fresh fruit (from various places in Asia) that is available in fruit shops, supermarkets, and a variety of other places here in Beijing. As you can see, I've stocked up for the coming week. And, yes, I will eat all of it, as fruit is a must in my daily diet. Among my favorite fruits more readily available here in Asia than in the States are the pomelo and the mysterious "fire dragon fruit." All of the fresh fruit you see here was, all together, under US$4; now that's a bargain!
