Ingredients for six to eight bars:

• 140g sesameseeds

Here's how you do it:

1. Put the honey (or the agavenectar) in a small pan en let it melt on a low heat.
2. Add the sesameseeds en stir untill entirly covered with the honey. 
3. Let the mixure 'roast' for 5 minutes while you stir constantly. 
4. Pour onto a large piece of aluminium foil and fold over the edges towards the middle. Press untill the desired thickness is reached.
5.  Let it stand for ten minutes and then cut into bars.
6. Let it cool further untill crunchy

Let me know how it worked out and if you liked this recipe.

Already a year ago today

A year ago my graduate education started. Until now it has been a wonderful and instructive time. I've been a member of Sint-Lucas' fragile,s team and had the opportunity to study abroad in Germany and the United States. And it all started on september 26th of 2011 with this video.

Jungle Jims

Last week Steven, Lucy and I went to do our groceries in Jungle Jim's. We walked around there for about 2 hours and that's no wonder. Jungle Jim's is apparently the biggest grocery store in the United States. They're located in Fairfield, Ohio and I just discovered that yesterday they opened a second store in Cincinnati. Their stores are set up as a theme park with sections for countries from all over the world, they have an amazing collection of wines, fruit and vegetables and an entire bargain corner. And yes, they had Belgian stuff. Of course it was a little more expensive then in Belgium: 4 regular Duvelbottles costed about 14 bucks.

Only discovering the store's map took you 5 minutes.

Spicy Steven.

Peace out!

Oktoberfest

This weekend we went to the Oktoberfest in Downtown Cincinnati. This is the second biggest Oktoberfest in the world, after Munich. Standing for pretzels, beer, egg rolls, funnelcakes, strudel, ... One giant carnival! Got to love it! It made me feel a little bit nostalgic about my stay in Germany.

So far so good

What's happend since we arrived in the States about a month and a week ago? First of all: we enrolled for our classes. We're happy to be in UC's Department of Architecture Art and Planning, short: DAAP. In the beginning we had to adapt again to another school, another country and try to make as many new friends as possible, which we're still trying to do. In this month we already had the chance to discover some of Cincinnati's most agreeable sides: the P&G Riverfest with beautiful fireworks, we already saw Barack Obama on his grassroots event in Eden Park and so on.

Some pictures of the grassroots event.

Search the POTUS!

BTW: I want to broaden this blog so you won't see me writing about my studies alone any more. From now on i want to talk about the more important things in life as well: food and all things beautiful: architecture, art,....

See you very soon!

Back on track

Hey everybody!

After having been away for exactly 3 months I'm back on track. Since a lot of people were wondering how my adventures are continuing and given the big number of followers for the Bauhaus Experience I am coming back, this time with a new name: The B. Experience.
B standing for all things B: Benoît, Belgium, Bauhaus, ...

Im no longer posting from Germany but from the United States of America this time: Cincinnati, Ohio it is. Until the end of december I'll stay here together with mr. Frederick D. and then we'll be home for Christmas. I promise I'll make more updates so keep an eye on this blog. I'll try to do some of my posts in English, some in Dutch. Tell me what language you guys love most in a comment below and then I'll see you back very soon for my first real update!
