You are in LA, so I don't think your car sat for entire winter... but if it did it could be old gasoline.
If your car sits for long time without being driven you need to add fuel stabilizer and keep the gas tank full. Otherwise fuel congeals and causes fuel starvation during hard acceleration.

Our Outback does that rarely, starts rough, CEL comes on - don't know why - I just reset the code and carry on and it doesn't happen again for months.

Now you know the codes they can be cleared and see if they return in two drive cycles. If they don't, I'd suspect temporary low fuel pressure.

Software glitch. I spent a lot of time while waiting for delivery reading the technical docs, Every third run on the highway and the car will go into a mode where it leans out the cylinders one at a time, listening for ping, and adjusting the timing and injection for maximum performance and fuel economy. Maybe you punched it when it was going through one of those introspective moments and it 'crashed" and screwed up the running parameters. Cycling on/off reset everything....
