Oh, Tamara, I'm so sorry! I will never understand people like that. It would have been bad enough if she just hadn't paid attention and then apologized for screwing up, but to actually admit she just didn't bother to make a sincere effort! And you're right, it's especially bad since this was a special meal for you and your husband.
I like your idea of never going there again, but if you must (families being what they are), definitely bring your own food. Make something really yummy and don't share - or share with everyone except MIL.
And someone should tell her that Chicken Alfredo isn't Mexican food. Humph!
