Pasta Puttenesca is the dish with probably the highest perceived/actual complexity ratio I have in my repertoire. It uses primarily canned and jarred ingredients, is pretty good for you, costs virtually nothing (though you must spring for good italian tomatoes), and takes 15 minutes front to back depending on the parsley workflow.
Combine with red wine with the wife for maximum effectiveness.
If it's too easy and you want to step things up, roast garlic 45 minutes beforehand and make a compound butter for some bread. Lightly broil as you finish the pasta.
One thing about the car purchase is that this doesn't have to be a bad investment. If you buy a new BMW 530i yes that's setting money on fire. If you get a 5 year old sedan, you'll only be paying a little in depreciation.
Same with housing in Baltimore. At a 3 year time horizon the appreciation+principal will probably equal the transaction costs, with a lot of utility.
Remainder in vanilla brokerage and growing for when you do want to do something real.
Congratulations on the windfall
