Oh, girl you are missing an awesome opportunity. You just need to come up with a version of her name that would sound ghetto to her, and call her that. Or just call her Bella Tacqueria or something like that. You really need to play this one up.
You could also find a poster of a big black guy - maybe a Luther poster of Idris Elba and put it up in whatever bathroom she uses when she comes over. Or a Samuel Jackson poster, I don't know - anyway, oh my gosh, would I have fun with this one!
We took my stepson to a Cinco de Mayo festival one time. He was almost in a state of culture shock but he couldn't leave till we did because he was only 14 and we were driving. I bought a T shirt with the Virgin of Guadelupe on it and changed into it there and insisted on walking around with him. I thought he was going to die of discomfort but he laughs about it now. He just needed a bit of cultural exposure.

When we left, I said to my husband in the car, NEVER again will I attend his family's Thanksgiving dinner. We weren't welcome and were treated like crap. They knew we were late and why.....not because we were having a great time. We have no control over the weather. I was STARVING when we left because so little food was offered to us....like we were some freaking peasants. We ended up eating at Cracker Barrel on our way home.....completely random strangers were far kinder to us. Lesson learned!
I'm so sorry for you. My dear aunt, rest her soul, always had the family to her house for Christmas Eve dinner. Don't worry, even if she didn't know you, she would not have let you leave her house hungry. Forty or so people. Eating in the kitchen. Eating in the living room. Eating on the porch swing. Standing. Sitting. Kids running in and out. One big happy extended family, friends, and neighbors.
And, if someone had brought Taco Bell, no one would have been offended.
I just feel sorry for the husband/father in all this. Caught between two women. He can't win. Though if either of them push too hard for him to take sides in their cat fight... well, just be sure they can afford the cost.

Laughing myself now... They are in the South. I would just get a t-shirt that proudly proclaims, "Step-momma of Taco Belle!" Be sure to have her picture on it!
