The Last Word of '8

If you’re sweet tooth didn’t get enough satisfying treats during the holidays, you can save half on the delectable goodness of Si Italian Bistro when you shop Half Off Wednesday, while supplies last. There’s plenty of real food, too, but at half price, why not treat yourself to what you really want … the dessert!

If you’re staying in tonight, there are plenty of country stars to find on TV. Taylor Swift and Kellie Pickler will be in New York to make appearances on Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest. Julianne Hough will be in Atlanta to entertain at the 20th Annual Peach Drop New year’s Eve Celebration. Rissi Palmer will co-host the event televised in Atlanta, syndicated in markets across the country. And separated for New Year’s, there’ll be no kiss for Chuck and Julianne, since she’s in Atlanta and Chuck Wicks will be with the LoCash Cowboys performing on Fox News Channel’s U-Party New Years Eve Special. And tomorrow morning, don’t forget to check out the Hee Haw float going by during the 120th Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena.

If you’ve never tried Kenny Roger’s Roasters, just ask the people of Bahrain how it tastes. Considered the newest fine dining restaurant in the Kingdom, the rotisserie chicken franchise now has two locations in the Gulf region. Six more locations are planned. The chain was started by its musical namesake in Florida in 1991, and it is now franchised to 120 locations worldwide. None of which are in the southwest. We’ll just have to take Bahrain’s word for it that it’s tasty.

Now go make something great happen in 2009.
