Jan Boydstun "The Gadget Gal"

We had the wonderful opportunity of hearing Jan Boydstun's testimony on Wednesday and how her journey began here in the desert back in 1989. She shared how she was only going to be coming out to the desert, leaving the beautiful beach behind, for 4 months while her parents transitioned in opening their new store in Indian Wells. She ended up meeting her husband Gary at Gold's Gym, which was also a funny thing the way that came about. Jan shared how she knows without a doubt that God orchestrated the entire plan of getting her out here to the desert, saving Gary and the situation he was in, and also saving herself. After the birth of their second child, Gary and Jan both agreed that they wanted to get back in church and check out 3 different churches here in the desert. Southwest Community Church (back when it was at Hovley) was one of them and they instantly felt at home and loved it. 9 years ago Jan was asked to be a part of the "Guess the Gadget" segment on The Discovery Channel's "Home Matters" show. That opportunity has since spiraled into Jan doing gadget demos and seminars for all types of different churches, group, non-profit organizations, the list goes on.

Jan concluded her time with us with our own little gadget demo and little "guess the gadget" game. Some of these gadgets were awesome and I'm sure make things in the kitchen easier and a little more fun! Just a few of them were... the nork, square egg maker, PB&J spatula, banana starter, apple peeler, pineapple corer and the #1 knife!

Kitchen Kitchen has moved locations (same shopping center, just a few doors down) and has a few events coming up that are worth checking out if you're able to make it! Friday, November 13th from 5:30-7:30 is the official ribbon cutting ceremony. Then on Saturday, November 14th, Jan is going to have the 30th Anniversary celebration and Grand Opening of Kitchen Kitchen and the new store/kitchen (God-willing that everything passes inspection). We'll be praying for that Jan!! You can check out kitchenkitchen.com for more info and be on the lookout for cooking classes starting in January.
