When the Port-of-Spain Cen­tral Li­ons held its fund-rais­ing cook­out last month, the chefs of St Mary's Col­lege won the li­on's share of the awards. This evening is pay­back time when Fa­ti­ma Col­lege Old Boys' As­so­ci­a­tion hosts its an­nu­al Salt and Pep­per 2011 (Men Who Could Cook) Night of One Hun­dred Cooks at the col­lege, on Mu­cu­rapo Road, in St James. Din­ner will be served from 6.30 pm to 8 pm, and the night's ac­tiv­i­ties end at 9 pm sharp. Com­pe­ti­tion is ex­pect­ed to be fierce when St Mary's old boys face off against their coun­ter­parts from Fa­ti­ma, Queen's Roy­al Col­lege, Bel­mont Ex Pupils As­so­ci­a­tion (Belex) Holy Name Con­vent and St Joseph's Con­vent.

The ma­jor­i­ty of tonight's cooks com­prise Fa­ti­ma "old boys," teach­ers, and par­ents. Any Fa­ti­ma old boy will­ing to test his culi­nary skills on the night can con­tact the as­so­ci­a­tion's sec­re­tary, Karen, at 628 4735.

The func­tion con­tin­ues to be a very pop­u­lar af­fair, com­pris­ing a sump­tu­ous din­ner, four meats will be served, all for the price of on­ly $200. There will al­so be a well stocked bar, and tick­ets avail­able at the as­so­ci­a­tion's of­fice sit­u­at­ed at the col­lege, or any mem­bers of the Old Boys Com­mit­tee. There will al­so be at­trac­tive door prizes and a prize for the cook with the most hu­mor­ous (non con­tro­ver­sial) dish name.
