[quote=Anonymous]OP your MIL was being unkind.  This is even more obvious when SIL has then had coffee to discuss this really minor issue.  Only difference is MIL is being smart about it, bring a really large platter when host says there is no room but she looks nice for bringing something.  You get justifiably annoyed and you look bad.

I would let the issue go.  It's such a minor non issue, don't give it oxygen.  If your DH says anything just say 'oh I had forgotten about that, wasn't that days ago'.

You know your MIL is going to try to set you up so she can later whinge about your to your DH and cause trouble.  So next time she presents you with a problem just deflect.  Say you are busy and call your DH over to handle it.  That way he is annoyed with the constant problems she manifests.  I bet those pesky little problems stop really quickly.

You know your MIL's game, so start learning to side step her.  As others said, you never needed to even touch the platter and I bet MIL was smirking in the background as you were getting flustered.  Just side step her every move.[/quote]
