"White Nectarine-Peach-Lemon-Verbena"!?

Bonne Maman flavors for days 7 and 8.  7 was a decadent (and probably not dairy-free) Coffee-Caramel spread that was delicious in small quantities (and would probably kill you in larger).  But day 8 had the ludicrous concatenation of the post title, proving that if you combine enough flavors they will eventually all cancel each other out.  That's not strictly fair - it was quite pleasant - but you needed a fair quantity to know it was there.  Jami left uneaten samples of both in the kitchen and Frederick happened on them and devoured them happily, so thumbs up from him, at least.



 Maybe you knew this already, dear reader, but apparently Verbena is a flower.  No good comes of trying to gin up your flavors with flowers, Bonne Maman!  So cut it with the Violets and Roses et al.
