What you saw there was all frozen vegetables, thawed over
night with a lid. So they were now cold and I added the
cold ham with raisin sauce.

I took this picture right before I put a lid on and
microwaved it all to very hot. It was good.

And yes, those were plain tater tots just microwaved.
Even hot they were the same color. It was ok to do
that with this meal. The hot tots were just cut up and
eaten (in the same spoon) with green vegetables.
Didn't upset me.

I have said in the past though that tater tots are
'ok in a pinch' just microwaved. Better tater tops
are cooked in the oven. BEST tater tots are deep fried.
