Artificial Reefs in the Gulf of Mexico
I hope you do not get tired of me talking
about Orange Beach fishing, but it was my
favorite pastime growing up, and still is a
favorite.
The Callaway and Walker families have
collaborated in many ways over the years
to the benefit of the community. Their work Long
together in their participation of the charter
fishing industry has given purpose to the community.
The beginnings of the work of the Orange Beach Fishing
Association led to their work in the artificial reef programs
are but a few of their joint accomplishments.
First let me tell you that the floor of the Gulf in the
bottom fishing areas is sandy and constantly shifting with
the currents.

Crazy Sista
Cooking
with Lucy Buffett
My dear friend, Suzanne Cleveland, for
years arrived at every pier-party, holiday
get-together, or general shin-dig with her
trademark lemon squares. The children
would wait impatiently for her to arrive with
a tray of tasty treats, powdered sugar all over
their faces and fingers within minutes. This Buffett
dessert is inspired by her recipe, with a tart
little key lime twist.
Key Lime Squares
Makes 10-12 Squares
Ingredients

¼ cup blanched almond slivers
1 cup unsalted butter, softened coarse meal.
2 cups all purpose flour 3. In a large mixing bowl or food processor, combine

¼ teaspoon almond extract sugar and almond extract.
4. Blend into a thick pastry and pat into the bottom of a
For Filling: well greased 8x12“ baking dish.
5 eggs 5. Bake crust for 15 minutes and remove from oven.
2 cups white sugar 6. Reduce oven temperature to 325˚.
¾ cup key lime juice 7. Gently beat eggs. Add granulated sugar, salt, key lime
¼ cup powdered or confectioner’s sugar juice and orange zest. Mix thoroughly.
Pinch of salt 8. Pour key lime filling over partially baked crust and
½ teaspoon orange zest return to the oven.
9. Bake 20 – 30 minutes or until key lime filling “sets”.
Directions: 10. Remove from oven and cool.
1. Preheat oven to 350˚ 11. Sift remaining confectioner’s sugar on the top and cut
2. Using a mini-food processor, chop almonds into a into squares.
