Ok, everyone has seen the cinnamon rolls that come ina can, right? Pillsbury makes them, and so do a couple other companies... you peel off the label, and the can pops open, and you put them in the oven. Not that hard, right? Well, not to Jon...

****: tryin to figure out how to make cinnamon rolls
ghstlady915: what?

****: this mystifies me
ghstlady915: and you can't figure it out?
****: im sure i can
****: i just dont want to fuck them up
****: i needthem for tomorrow
ghstlady915: you can't fuck them up
ghstlady915: just follow the directions on the can
****: yeah i can fuck up anything trust me.

ghstlady915: lol
ghstlady915: do you want help with the cinammon rolls?
****: uhmmm
****: i dunno
ghstlady915: lol
****: lemme go find out if i can do them
****: fuckin hell
****: do i have to grease my cookie sheet?
ghstlady915: if you have a round pan that would be better
****: what
****: no no
****: these are just like.. 8 to a tube type things
ghstlady915: I know
****: so whatthe fuck will a pan do
****: youre silly
ghstlady915: you put them in like a round cake pan
****: these are made on cookie sheets.
****: :-)
****: at least mine are
****: cuz its all ive got.
****: :-D
ghstlady915: lol
ghstlady915: you're amusing
****: what?
ghstlady915: and yeah, if you insist on using a cookie sheet, grease it slightly where the rolls are goin
ghstlady915: also, your cook time will change if you use a cookie sheet
****: oh great
****: and how do i know what it will change TO
****: and uh
****: i dont have grease
****: will butter work?
ghstlady915: yeah... you just need something so they don't stick
****: say yes cuz its what im using
****: good.
[........]
ghstlady915: how goes the cinnamon rolls?
****: havent started tthem yet
****: im scared
****: i dont wanna fuck up:-)
ghstlady915: *rolls eyes*
ghstlady915: do you have any sort of small pan?
****: so im makin the meatloaf instead
****: just a pot
****: or a frying pan
ghstlady915: what do you make the meatloaf in?
****: glass pan
****: long and thin
****: not right for the rolls
ghstlady915: no, but I wasn't sure what you used
ghstlady915: it's probly like a loaf pan
****: yeah thats probly what youd call it
****: weren;t you THERE when i bought it?
ghstlady915: I'm supposed to remember everything?
****: i have a question
ghstlady915: shoot
****: how the crap do you get the can of rolls open???
ghstlady915: read the can
ghstlady915: there will be a little place where you can peel the paper off
****: yeah
****: wel
****: i kinda did that
ghstlady915: then it breaks open on the seam
****: but it tore off
****: and
****: then
****: it wont do anything
****: :-\
ghstlady915: did you take off like a whole curly-q of it, down the length of the can?
****: well, no, see
****: it broke
****: nother question:
****: if icook them tonight but dont ice them
****: i can warm them and ice them tomorrow, right?
ghstlady915: so use a butterknife orsomething to peel more of hte label off
****: hmm good idea
ghstlady915: and yes, you can warm and ice them tomorrow
****: also
****: do i just use the butter like a chalk, and cover the pan?
ghstlady915: yeah, but don't layer it super thick cuz it'll just melt all over your oven
ghstlady915: do you want me to just walk over there and help you?
****: *sigh*
ghstlady915: I'm serious... I'm not being a brat.. do you want a hand?
****: now now im gonna try it on my own
****: just hold on.
****: :-)
****: when theyre all done i gotta bring 'em to campus
****: so... ill probly stop over or something
****: brb
ghstlady915: ok
****: how do you know when an oven is preheated?
ghstlady915: does it seem like it got hot?
****: um well yeah
****: but im a little off when it comes to feeling things like 400 degrees, dur.
****: and do i cook them for 12 minutes, more or less?
ghstlady915: 1) guesstimate temp... you've felt the oven then you've pulled out your meatloaf and such... if it seems hot, you're probly good, even if it's not exactly at the right temp yet
ghstlady915: 2) if the can says 12 mins, you probly wanna peek in closer to 9or10 cuz you're using the cookie sheet and they might cook faster
****: ok
****: noted.
****: io dont use the oven for meatloaf
****: i use the nuker
ghstlady915: sheesh
****: :-D
****: takes less time
****: and when im hungry
****: that matters
ghstlady915: lol
ghstlady915: I know
****: oh, fuck.
****: :-)
****: A>
****: never use a pocket knife to free cinnamon rolls
****: B.
****: never try to cut them up, they have perforations
****: C. its a good thing i bought two cans.:-)
ghstlady915: *smacks forehead*
****: shut up!!! i think theyre gonna come out just fine.
****: :-)
****: oh yeah
****: also
****: why didnt you warn me they pop out all over the place
ghstlady915: *sigh*
****: well, i have to be prepared for this type of thing
ghstlady915: they don't pop out that far
****: uh yeah they do!
ghstlady915: they just make a big noise
****: like POOF a
****: all over the stove
ghstlady915: they shouldn't
ghstlady915: unless you let them get warm
****: and the best part is i pierced the fucking icing with my knife.
****: well theyve been out for an hour
ghstlady915: JON
****: i figured they needed to defrost.
ghstlady915: they have yeast in them!
****: o
****: fuck
ghstlady915: that's like puncturing an aerosol can!
****: i KNOW
****: i found that OUT
****: about four minutes ago
ghstlady915: they shouldn't have been frozen
ghstlady915: they go in the fridge
****: uhmmm
****: right
****: that to.:-)
ghstlady915: Jon, did you freeze them?
****: no
****: well
****: not more than today in my trunk.:-)
ghstlady915: ok

****: uhm
****: no
****: the first batch came out good.:-)
ghstlady915: good
****: well seems to be
****: how do i know if theyre done?:-)
****: they look like rolls
****: the problem is
****: some of them unwould
****: unwound
****: and i had to roll them back up
****: those ones dont look right.;-)
ghstlady915: were they would up when you put them in hte oven?
****: wound?
****: yeah
ghstlady915: and again... yeast
****: but they didnt come out looking.. natural
****: what about yeast
ghstlady915: they rise, and unroll
****: true..
ghstlady915: unless you put them in something to hold them together
****: ahhhh i see the point of the cake pan now.
****: well,
ghstlady915: which is why the directions say to use a round pan
****: shit.
****: well, theyre edible
****: thats what matters.:-)
