Notes: Taken from the Colorado Bed & Breakfast Cookbook©. Nona and I experienced this for the first time at "Back in Time" B&B in Glenwood Springs, CO. The owner was a retired clockmaker, and the place was filled with ticking clocks. Fortunately, the cuckoo's had been silenced or else the place could be named "Back in Bedlam".
