Kuchen" dessert reception; a panel on contemporary German literature featuring Susan Bernofsky, Erpenbecks principal translator; and a world-premiere ballet adaptation of Erpenbecks short story "Sand," with original choreography by Boyko Dossev and music composed by Joshua Tomlinson.

Quiche is the food that we may associate with classical French cuisine, but actually it has German origins -- the word comes from the German word "
kuchen," which simply means cake.

Kuchen' (coffee and cake) just to watch the world go by.
Les activites proposees par la communaute de Sankt Bonifatius sont les suivantes: a la fete des Meres, un brunch est offert apres la messe; a la fete des Peres, une chorale allemande, (Deutscher Chor), offre un spectacle de chansons traditionnelles apres la messe, puis les participants se rendent au sous-sol de l'eglise pour un Kaffee und
