Sweet & Sour Ham Salad

6 oz uncooked orzo
16 oz frozen stir fry vegetables (the kind with baby corn, broccoli, peppers, etc)
1 cups cubed cooked ham
3/4 cup sweet and sour sauce

Empty vegetable blend into a colander. Cook pasta as directed. Pour hot pasta over frozen vegetables and allow to drain until vegetables are thawed. Toss pasta/vegetable combination in a large bowl with chopped ham and sauce.

(While the recipe didn’t indicate whether I was to eat this cold or at room temperature, I found I preferred it on the warmish side. It wasn’t bad cold, but was better warm — and that is not saying much. If it were possible for my mouth to shrug, it would certainly shrug at the taste-memory of this dish.).
