Cooking instruction summary:

Procedures 1 Move oven rack to the center position and preheat oven to 350°F. 2 Whisk sugars, cinnamon, and vanilla into the melted butter—you should have a nice thick paste. If it looks too soupy/buttery, add a few more tablespoons of dark brown sugar. 3 Divide dough into two balls. On a generously floured surface, roll out each dough ball into a large rectangle about 1/4-inch thick. Use a pastry brush to completely coat the surface of the dough with your butter mixture. 4 If you're including bacon in your buns, lay out two strips of bacon horizontally about 1/2-inch from the long side of the dough that's closest to you, repeat with two more strips of bacon at the midpoint of your dough rectangle. 5 Roll up the dough along the short side so you have a long skinny roll. Use a serrated knife to cut 15 cinnamon coils from your roll and place them in baking dish. Brush the buns with milk then bake until the tops are golden brown and crispy, about 30 to 40 minutes. 6 While the buns are baking, brown the butter for the icing in a saucepan over medium heat, swirling the pan every so often. Once the butter has browned, transfer it to the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Let the butter cool slightly then beat butter with confectioner’s sugar and vanilla on medium high. Add a little more sugar if your frosting looks too buttery. Cool the cinnamon buns for 5 minutes then frost and serve warm.

VIRUS WARNING**** If you received an e-mail with a subject line of "Badtimes," delete it immediately without reading it! It is the most dangerous E-mail virus yet. It will re-write your hard drive. Not only that, but it will scramble any disks that are even close to your computer. It will recalibrate your refrigerator's settings so all your ice cream melts and your milk curdles. It will demagnitize the strips on all your credit cards, reprogram your ATM access codes, screw up the tracking on your VCR and use subspace field harmonics to scratch any CD's you try to play. It will give your ex-boy/girlfriend your new phone number. It will mix antifreeze into your fish tank. It will drink all your beer and leave your dirty socks on the coffee table when there's company coming over. It will hide your car keys when you are late for work and interfere with your car radio so that you hear only static while stuck in traffic. Badtimes will make you fall in love with a hardened pedophile. It will give you nightmares about circus midgets. It will replace your shampoo with Nair and your Nair with Rogaine, all while dating your current boy/girlfriend behind your back and billing their hotel rendezvous to your Visa card. Badtimes will give you Dutch Elm disease. It will leave the toilet seat up and leave the hairdryer plugged in dangerously close to a full bathtub. It will not only remove the forbidden tags from your mattress and pillows, it will refill your skim milk with whole. It is insidious and subtle. It is dangerous and terrifying to behold. It is also a rather interesting shade of mauve. These are just a few of the signs. BE AFRAID! BE VERY AFRAID!
