with twizzlers. 
My MIL that is. I don't care what I tell her I'm making she is always telling me that instead of using something else I should use a twizzler, the really weird thing is that she doesn't even like them.
A couple months ago I was going to make a bulldozer, she asked me what I was going to do for different things and after I told her that the tracks would be MMF she told me to make them from twizzlers, I'll confess that I'm still a little unsure of how I was supposed to use them for anything but the tread on the tracks.
Yesterday I mentioned that I was going to try the modeling chocolate to make the wand for my son's Harry Potter birthday and she thought I should stick a skewer in a twizzler instead. Then I said that if the wand worked I was going to make a spider out of that and she goes "what are you going to use for the legs? Twizzlers?" I told her that if I was going to make a spider out of something like that I would make the legs from the same stuff, if the spider was out of cake I might use them.
These are just a couple examples of "wonderful" ideas the woman has given me about how to use twizzlers. I know they can work for some things but this is driving me up the wall.
It sounds like she's just trying to help.
Why don't you let her help you out with the twizzler thing once?? Maybe make it on a project where twizzlers wouldn't be the best idea.
Atleast then she could see for herself that they're not always the best choice, but also be appreciated for trying to help.
Don't get mad.......think of others, like me, who don't have a mil. LOL!(she passed before we married, but still.............)
you should surprise her and make her a cake decorated like a twizzler..lol
LOLOLOL!!
i don't mean to laugh but your post was cracking me up. your MIL is really obsessed with twizzlers!
that would drive me nuts too. whatever you do, resist the temptation to beat her over the head with a twizzler... although, it may knock some sense into her.
Sounds like maybe your MIL has subscriptions to Family Circle and Woman's Day for way too long--or else she's their "secret weapon cake decorator" and just hasn't fessed up yet

OK, let me in on the secret - what's a 'twizzler'?

It's candy that comes in licorace (sp?), strawberry and cherry. The kind my MIL is talking about is about 6-7" long with spiral ridges. If you do a search on spiders you'll see them as legs.
And there is no way she's the decorator for any of those magazines, my husband was lucky to get the candy layons from the grocery store.
