[quote=Anonymous]As a mom of a child with celiac, it is easier if the kitchen and house are gluten free, sure, but I don't expect that when I'm a guest in someone's house.  It does require me to bring boxes of my own food, pots, drinks, etc.  For example, you can't use the same butter that someone else stuck a knife in to butter their toast.

OP, if I were you I'd write a nice email as one of the PP's suggested.  Convey how helpful you're willing to be, how much you're looking forward to seeing one.  Then just ask whether both kitchens are being kept gluten free, because you're trying to plan food to feed your child.  It does seem a little over the top to keep both kitchens gluten free.

If they say yes, both are gluten free, then I suggest some good gluten free substitutes for the items you like.  I didn't read most of this thread so I don't know what kind of grocery stores you'll have nearby, but there's decent gluten free pizza, crackers, pretzels, bread, cakes, cookies, and many other things you can buy at many grocery stores. I've had good luck at giant and Safeway.  Of course whole foods has a lot of gf options.  So does Trader Joe. Look for Udis or glutino bread and bakery products, Vans gluten free waffles, Barilla gluten free pizza.  Glutino makes good pretzels and cookies.
