Stack O' Cinnamon Rolls

MORNING OF MARCH 21, 2009

I had a pack of refrigerated instant cinnamon rolls that came in a tube. The rolls were smallish, maybe a little larger in diameter than a golf ball. Each roll came out of the tube fully prepared, including the icing, and all you had to do was heat them.

The odd thing was that the directions called for leaving the rolls stacked on top of each other as they cooked (which was fortunate, as the icing fairly glued the stack together). For some reason I owned a hot plate instead of a real oven, so I just placed the little tower of cinnamon rolls on that. It was unbalanced and kept threatening to fall on its side.

I checked the directions again and this time they said you were supposed to lay the stack on its side, just so they remained stacked. One has no idea how they were supposed to properly cook in this manner, but that's the beauty of a dream, I guess.
