I told her I had arranged everything, but being a typical male, I procrastinated and assumed dinner reservations would be no problem. Much to my horror, there were only a handful of restaurants open that time of year, all of which were booked.

Um, thanks. Eventually I learned that "Diablo," referred to the old-school culinary terminology for something spicy being, "deviled." Back then entrées had names. Dishes like Beef Wellington, Clams...
