What's a Bento Box?

If you dont know, you are not alone.  I went out with my long time friends Sarah and Aubrey for Sushi - and on the menu was a Bento box.  We were all so intrigued that the first thing we asked was "what is a Bento box?"  Unfortunatly for us, it was hard to understand the woman who tried to explain it to us so it ended in us histarically laughing (which doesnt take much for this trio).  Luckily, though, a nice young kid who also worked there clarified exactly what it was for us.  Its a traditional japanese lunch box.  It came with the main dish, rice, 4 sushi rolls, salad, egg rolls and won tons.  Sold we'll take it.  It was just ok, but the company, conversation, and laughs were all amazing.  I honestly dont know two funnier people - we could laugh about nothing (and do).  Most of our memories are pretty much "you had to be there" types of deals...but someday I will pull out some old pictures...mostly of our "riesen" days...just for old times sake!!  For now heres a picture from our sushi date!
