I just think it's inconsiderate/rude that your MIL bothered asking if she didn't intend to play the "game" fairly. D'uh. (okay, yes, the SIMPSONs are on! It's Sunday night)
I guess, I don't expect to be accomodated UNLESS it's a restaurant & I can EXPLICITLY order exactly how I want it (yes, it's almost pornographic in a "foodie" way how exact I am!). SO I always always always BRING MY OWN FOOD, regardless of who/what because rarely do they get it "right." Seriously...the hostess often neglects to mention something about a potentially safe food. I guess, food-oriented celebrations are more about the company than the food.
I just think your MIL is really ignorant & stupid for bothering to ask you. So...consider it yet another lesson re: food @ your MIL's place under your hat. Don't waste your time being irrate. Just bring your own food next time. Problem or potential problem SOLVED!
It is highly disappointing, though, so just "blow it off!" Invite her over for some real IBS-safe Mexican (nah, Thai is much much cooler!)
Kaboom! Kate, IBS-D.
