The answer to Monday's Jeopardy! question was: What are pistachios?

Brian and I are back home from house sitting, so I will be back on top of posting these every day.

The Category for both: A Bunch of Nuts

First Answer: This nut of a hickory tree follows "butter" in the name of a classic ice cream flavor.

Second Answer: Marzipan, used to cover or decorate cakes, is a paste made from this nut.

Good luck, and remember, NO CHEATING!!
