(but never durian, there is never any eft to freeze. freezing intensifies the sweetness, concentrates the sugars, i suspect. the key is to freeze the pieces in one layer in a cookie sheets, and when they're frozen hard, put them in a ziplock bag. that way, they don't get a mushy, and you can take out only as many pieces as you want. yes, we freeze langka all the time, as we do other fruits - slices of guyabano, pineapple,suha (pomelo) sections,peeled rambutan and lanzones,star apple, pineapple, etc..in davao, when the fruits are in season,freezing is the way to go.

Anyway, she chuckled when I recounted to her another elderly French Canadian nun, of a different order, who occaionally ordered empanadas at the shop and on whom I inflicted my idle and so completely rusted French who one dog day afternoon suggested that it must be intensely uncomfortable to be working there on such a hot day to which I replied “m’aam with all the machines and the oven running full blast, c’est l’enfer lá.” Her accutely perceptive reply gave me pause, “M’sieur perhaps you wanted to say, c’est un avant-goût de l’enfer.” She was right, not quite hell but just a foretaste of it.
