Buy an entree, get another for nothing—if you kiss someone in line.
Customers at the Qdoba restaurant on Mishawum Road can get free food today—if they don't mind a little PDA. The nationwide chain is bringing back a Valentine's Day promotion that, according to spokeswoman Ashley Cohen, tens of thousands of customers took advantage of in 2011. Anyone who buys an entree can get another for free—once they kiss a fellow customer at the cash register. It doesn't matter (to Qdoba) who it is. No coupon is necessary. The promotion is happening nationwide. Qdoba is open normal hours, from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., on Valentine's Day.

When you think of Valentine's Day, one thing comes to mind—chocolate. Try making one of these fudge recipes for your sweetheart.
"Don't wreck a sublime chocolate experience by feeling guilty." ~Lora Brody One of the easiest desserts to make has got to be fudge. I'm not much of a baker, so anytime I can create something good and chocolatey without turning on the oven I'm a happy girl. To this day, the fudge my grandmother used to make remains the best fudge I've ever eaten. I never tried to recreate it because I assumed it was too complicated for a novice like myself. Ironically enough, I recently learned that she found her recipe on the back of a Carnation Evaporated Milk can. Go figure. So here is that great fudge recipe. Create a sweet treat for your Valentine! Basic Chocolate Fudge Ingredients: Directions: Here are some suggestions for other types of fudge: Milk …
Crib our gift list, and add your suggestions.
Two years ago, a dear friend sought my advice on what to get his girlfriend for Valentine's Day. His idea? A lamp. Because nothing says I love you quite like a lamp.... Don't get me wrong — I'm all about practical gifts. But when it comes to Valentine's Day, I believe sentiments or surprises should come from the heart, and be about the person you love, not about fulfuling their lighting needs. After a little bit of coaching, my friend settled on a necklace from a local artist. His girlfriend loved the gift, not only because it was pretty, but because it would remind her of him throughout the day, even when they were apart. Remember too, Valentine's Day doesn't have to be about spending a lot of (or any) money. The way to a loved one's …

We all have a special story. Share yours with the WuPatch community today.
The bond between pet and human is one of the strongest there is. We'd do anything for our furry friends, and in return, we get unconditional love and a best friend for life.

Share your pet story below in the comments. And upload a photo of your pet in our photo section!

Ziggy, a.k.a. Pukka, is not a pretty bunny, and that might have been what almost killed him. He was abandoned outside (which is illegal!) and found by the Attleboro Animal Control Officer, who contacted the House Rabbit Network. HRN does not take rabbits from the general public, but we do assist shelters and ACOs with situations like this. The plan was to bring Ziggy into our program, neuter him… more ›

Valentine's Day is approaching, and we're compiling a list of love songs.
It's Valentine's Day, and love is in the air... on the radio, in the coffee shops and maybe on your iPod. You know there's that one song that melts your heart every time you hear it. For me, it's "Over the Rainbow," sung by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole. I don't know what it is, but that song makes stop in my tracks whenever those first notes are played. A colleague of mine and I came up with this list of classic love songs: Is your favorite on our short list? If not, share it in the comments section below.
