Pesach seems to be an extremely sensitive time of year, especially for non-Mishers...
When some of your family eat Gebrochts and some don't... what are you to do?
Does a gebrochts kitchen mean the same thing as a treif one for someone who won't have matzah balls with their chicken soup?
My family doesn't eat gebrochts, but we do eat everything else (well, except kitniyot) and we don't eat our matzah over garbage bags...
I remember having a super-sweet boss at work one year who bought me several boxes of 'kosher for passover' cookies. I said thanks and smiled and put them in the company kitchen for others to share...I didn't dare break his heart and tell him I couldn't ingest the matzah meal-laden treats... I hope he didn't notice that I didn't eat one...
I can't honestly remember any other situation where I was in someone's home on Pesach and couldn't eat... Maybe some of my friends have felt guilty nibbling on a piece of chocolate at my house...
Some people have so many rules...
But isn't Pesach about being free?

Pesach is the time for obscure customs and fighting. Every year we fight non-stop throughout Seder, and then again the next Seder. One year we had Persian guests, and at Dayenu they went round the table assaulting people with leeks. It was very odd!
Btw, I've moved my blog from geshmacktorah.blogspot.com to gtorah.com , could you amend your link please? thanks :)
Why couldn't you eat the cookies?
Yup, Pesach IS about being free- free from human enslavement. We're still "slaves" to G-d (Oh boy, that came out wrong) and must follow His rules. But gebroktz is a minhag anyway, so you can't blame G-d for that rule lol.
the cookies were made with matzah meal!
