I'm really glad you didn't attempt to you context clues and just figure out what she said because this just cracked me up. :D
Is it bad that I totally got "salted caramel" at the very first guess of sausage?
i should mention that our connection was HORRID. one of those times where it feels like we're all speaking through old timey phones. plus my mother was in a car and simultaneously relaying everything i said to my aunt and my father, so it was like sitting in an echo chamber and speaking through an old timey phone. srsly, an ear trumpet would not have helped under these conditions.
additionally, it was late evening here in the future AND remember: i'm half deaf.
that is All of the Excuses! (for what actually was probably just a unilateral comprehension fail on my part)
