We have a nice Passover at ours house tonight and there is only 8 people were there. It was great dinners. We won't eat breads, grains & bagels for 1 week. Remember no eating bread, grains & bagels for 1 week.
No pizza for 1 week! Got it? You know better!! 
Right. No pizza for 1 week. Only you can eat matzos.

Seriously though, and unrelated, I find it interesting that in my religion Hinduism too, religious fasting often centers around not eating grains that day with no restriction on fruits and vegetables.
[speculation]
Possibly the "agricultural revolution" left diets overly dependent on grains and these customs are ritualized reminders of the ancient attempts to restore balance away from grains. Perhaps, today's "low-carb" diets represent the latest attempt in the same direction.

Chag Pesach sameach, everyone! Hope your Seders were as joyous (and delicious) as mine were. I usually don't keep Passover after the first two days, but Ms. zcat18 is converting and has talked me into a "me too" honest-to-goodness Passover. Might have to sneak some beer at the Cubs game on Saturday, though...
