scared and worried of current situation

hi all,
I have come up with my story again again. But this time its different.It started from last week and the effect still exists.
My DH and myself are in normal terms. Its the issue with my MIL again.Last week I did not cook properly (According to my MIL).
My DH told me what went wrong in the cooking one day in private. I accepted and I assured him that I will take care in future.
It was my MIL who was maintaining the great silence for almost 4-5 days and then on the weekend she tried a session on me when I was just home in the evening
and that too in the absence of my DH. These where her wors
" I have taught you so many things but there is no improvement at all. The food tastes so bad. How do you think we can eat it?( I got a feeling that I am a cook for the house).There is so much of water left in the rice vessel and the rice has become watery(Actually the rice was well cooked except some water was left behind though the water was filled in the cooker with proper quantity).You eat what all you want outside and we have to starve eating such a kind of food.
If you cant cook properly let me know. I dont mind cooking in the morning. I am leaving the cooking to you because you should know how to manage household things"
I told her calmly that its just one day that the dal was not good and the rest of the days it was all fine.
She was not convinced and continued the same non sense for a couple of mins. And she said that I have to accept the mistake if its done
I got irritated and said " I cannot accept if the mistake is not mine. I have told you in the morning itself that the water was poured in proper quantity and its not my fault. I dont cook with the intention that you people find it difficult to eat.
If you feel that i have not improved then its your opinion and I cant talk anything on that" . She felt offended for replying back to her and she went off murmuring something within herself
She was not talking to me at all after that and even I ignored her. This weekend my DH and myself cooked the meals for everyone. While cooking my husband was in search of something in the fridge. I told him that its not available.
My MIL entered the kitchen just then and she said that its available in the fridge. I said that I searched for it two days back but could not find it. For this she lost her temper she screamed " Shall I show it??? Why are you lying ???". It was kept somewhere in the corner.She picked it up and gave it to my DH. She was talking all crap. For this my DH also lost his cool and shouted back to my MIL asking her to keep quiet and not to create any issues on a holiday.
From then onwards my MIL has gone mad and trying to expose something bad out of what i have done. They are all very very silly. And she has gone to the extent of pointing out everything against me to my DH in my presence itself which was not happening before. My DH is just listening and leaving things behind. And this scenario has continued untill today morning. Not sure whats there in store for me today evening.
Today she could the entire meals by herself and she had prepared many times and she told to her son the entire menu. But last moment my DH did not pack the lunch as he had to go out for lunch somewhere with his colleagues.
Friends, I am very much worried about the current situation. Though my DH is not saying anything to me as of now I am not sure how he would react for her complaints against me.
As of now he is nice to me inspite of listening to all her crap. But I am very scared and I am not able to predict what she has in store for me.
So please advice on how be at home in such a situation and how to respond if any unpleasant situation comeup.
Thanks in advance and my apologies for a longer post

 

Apaasan,

I have been cooking from the past one year. I cook in the same fashion as what she has taught me. I have managed to put to the spices quantity also as asked by her and my DH. From the past couple of months she has not passed any comments against my cooking. Earlier she used to tell me if my cooking was good. But now a days what ever new recipe I prepare (As per my DH request) she will not respond.
I dont care because its my DH who has like what I prepare and he likes it.

One day when only we both were alone (me and my DH) I have told him to keep telling me if there was anything wrong in my preparation so that I can vary the salt and spices quantity accordingly.

There is every possibilty that things might go wrong on some days and that was what had happened with me. She has 35 years of exp in cooking and still she cant manage to add proper quantity of salt in her cooking almost everyday. Most of the times the rice what she prepares in the afternoon will be burnt out at the bottom of the vessel. What answer will she have for this?

I admit if the mistake is mine. But can I take when she says that I have done it intentionally?

From yesterday she is only cooking in the morning as me and my DH are not taking box to office. I have also decided to leave it to her untill she asks me to start cooking again.
