After another long day of car shopping, the idea of going out seemed monumental. I made this crab pasta thing https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2013/03/pasta-crab-tomato-chilies-recipe.html
Omitted the hot stuff for the kid. It was a little too salty but definitely beat getting out of our sweats or even talk to the delivery guy haha.
Car shopping is the WORST! Good luck
Looks fantastic. Wishing I had some last night with my Caldo Verde
Thank you @Barca!
Those are some exquisite looking chocolates!
Enjoy the rest of your Valentineâs Day weekend!
Thanks. We are done! Thankfully!! I made my husband promise we wonât discuss another car purchase for 5 years. He countered with 3 and we settled on 4. All bets on him breaking that before Monday. 
We only face this dilemma every 15 years or so. I passed my Mercedes roadster on to a delighted relative when it was a youthful 45.
OMG, tater tots and a spicy dipping sauce is a PERFECT bar app! 
A quiet day spent sleeping in, reading, and movies.
Made a small roasted garlic meat loaf, roasted baby potatoes, and roasted Brussels sprouts with dried savory and ground sumac.
Wine.
Looking forward to sleeping in again tomorrow.
Sounds deliciousđ
We had another excellent dinner at Bistro DâAzur. Details and pictures in the link below.
Chicken piccata tonight, with a ton of garlicky, buttery sauteed spinach, and fried taters. Piccata was made withe pounded thighs vs. breast because we prefer them.
Carnitas are simmering on the stove for tomorrow nightâŚ
Thank you and same to you.
Inspired! Gorgeous plate. I have a crush on red lentils at the moment. Would you mind sharing the ingredientsâspices mostlyâthat you put into the lentils to impart the right flavor profile for tacos?
Your creativity is giving me ideas. 
I prefer Pepcid AC
Great ideaâŚmy own kids started with making breakfast for themselves in middle school and today they are real good cooks around the kitchenâŚ
I like it. Mine have been feeding themselves breakfast and making their own lunches since middle school. They donât always make the same choices as me, and frequently grab whatâs easy (leftovers, dry cereal), but theyâd taking care of themselvesâŚ
Sure! Here ya go:
RED LENTIL TACOS IN THE INSTANT POT
1/2 large yellow onion, minced
6 cloves garlic, minced
2 bay leaves
1-2 Tbsp olive oil
1 1/2 c split red lentils
2 1/4 c rich chicken stock or vegetable broth
1/2-3/4 c tomato puree
1 envelope reduced-salt taco seasoning
1 tsp New Mexico or other mild ground chili
Pepper to taste
On sautee mode cook the garlic, onion, and bay leaves til golden. Add the tomato puree and fry a few minutes more. Add in the red lentils and broth to deglaze, along with seasoning packet and ground chili/paprika. Put on the Instant Pot lid and seal and cook at high pressure for 7 minutes. Mine actually reached pressure but never started timing down, so after about 10 minutes cooking, I just turned it off and released pressure. Serve with the works.
@ChristinaM, thank you. I saw various recipes after you posted your red lentil tacos and figured you would have made a discerning choice.
Though I will probably attempt this on the stovetop, a recipe like this makes me see why Instant Pot has so many fans.
Buen provecho!
