Rescue Shocked After Finding Stray Cat in Michigan, Who Is the Missing Pet of a Person in Germany
Trixie the cat was found as a stray in Montague, Mich., before being brought to Oceana County Animal Friends The shelter scanned the cat for a microchip and found one loaded with contact information for an owner in Germany Trixie the cat had been missing for 5 years before the shelter found her pet parentA woman and her cat are set to reunite after being apart for five years; the pet parent just needs to cross an ocean first. According to WZZM13, about six months ago, a family in Montague, Mich., found a feline living as a stray and took it in. Unfortunately, the new addition did not get along with their current pets, so the family brought the black cat to Oceana County Animal Friends in hopes of finding the pet a new home. The animal welfare nonprofit's director, Amy VanderWilk, told WZZM13 that she took the cat to the veterinary office to be spayed and checked for a microchip. The scan revealed that the mysterious feline did have a microchip, one that showed the cat's name was Trixie and that her owner could be contacted — in Germany. According to VanderWilk, when the shelter heard back from the microchip company and confirmed Trixie's registered owner, Olga Heigis, lived in Germany, they were baffled. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. After the nonprofit contacted Heigis, the story of how a cat with a German phone number ended up in Michigan began to make sense. Per WZZM13, Heigis used to live in Montague, Mich., but moved to Germany in 2020 for her husband's job. Trixie, who lived in Michigan with Heigis, disappeared a few months before her owner's big move and wasn't found until five years later. Trixie had likely been a stray cat until she was rescued by the Monatgue family, who brought her to Oceana County Animal Friends. 'When I talked to [Heigis], she had a friend who was on the phone. And he just kept getting on the phone saying, "Oh my god, you've made her day. She's just so excited and she's so happy.' And I was just floored," VanderWilk said of Heigis' reaction to Trixie being found. Heigis has already made plans to return to Montague and retrieve her dear cat, VanderWilk told WZZM13. The two friends are expected to reunite before the end of July. "Could you imagine somebody would fly from Germany to pick up their cat?" VanderWilk mused. "I just think it's amazing that she'll come get her. It's very cool." Read the original article on People

Veterans, service members help restore oysters and clean water in the Chesapeake Bay
A group of veterans and active-duty service members from across the country got their hands dirty for a cause that's helping them heal and helping the Chesapeake Bay thrive. At Parrish Creek Landing in Shady Side on Tuesday, veterans and active-duty service members spent the day helping the Chesapeake Bay Foundation (CBF) get more oysters into Maryland waters. CBF oyster restoration coordinator Kellie Fiala said oysters provide habitat for aquatic life and are essential to the overall health of the bay. "An adult oyster can filter many gallons of water a day," Fiala said. The group helped process recycled oyster shells that will be used to grow new baby oysters – called spat. "It is manual work," said Fiala. "It's all part of the job, but it gets people out." These volunteers don't shy away from hard work. "They understand mission, they understand purpose," participant Garrett Robinson said. "They understand, 'Let's go get this done because it matters.'" Working as a team, they filled more than a dozen cages, each of them holding about 1,000 pounds of shell. "Which we're quantifying as around 2 million oysters that these will become home for," Fiala said. When they're ready, the oysters will be planted onto sanctuary reefs in the bay. These veteran volunteers are part of Backcountry Hunters and Anglers (BHA) Armed Forces Initiative (AFI) – an organization that helps military members navigate PTSD and traumatic brain injury through outdoor experiences. "There's a restorative aspect of that – getting out there, there's a lot of peace, tranquility," said AFI volunteer and Marine Corps veteran Garrett Robinson. Robinson said participants also find purpose through conservation efforts like this. "So that a generation from now, people can still go out on that water and go fishing because of the work I did today," Robinson said. Fiala said it's been a "special partnership" working with AFI. "These are service members that have and are currently still giving their time for our country, and we appreciate them taking the time to come and help out an organization like us with the work that we're doing," Fiala said. After their Maryland oyster restoration event, the group will travel down the Eastern Shore for various fishing expeditions and complete their trip at CBF's Brock Environmental Center in Virginia Beach on July 17.

6 Alternatives to Cream of Tartar and When to Leave It Out
Which ingredient to substitute for cream of tartar depends on its role in the recipe, whether as a leavening agent, stabilizer, or to make food more acidic. A popular ingredient in many recipes, cream of tartar can: help stabilize whipped egg whites due to its acidity prevent sugar from crystallizing act as a leavening agent for baked goods You can also mix it with an acidic solution like lemon juice or vinegar to use it as a cleaning solution. Also known as potassium bitartrate, cream of tartar is the powdered form of tartaric acid. This organic acid is found naturally in many plants and is also formed during the winemaking process. If you're halfway through a recipe and find that you don't have any cream of tartar on hand, there are plenty of suitable replacements. The replacement you choose will depend on why you're using cream of tartar. Cream of tartar alternative When to use Substitution ratio Lemon juice To stabilize egg whites or prevent crystallization Equal amount White vinegar To stabilize egg whites Equal amount Baking powder In recipes that also contain baking soda 1.5 teaspoons (6 g) of baking powder to replace 1 teaspoon (3.5 g) of cream of tartar Buttermilk In baked goods For each 1/4 teaspoon (1 g) of cream of tartar, remove 1/2 cup (120 mL) of liquid and replace it with that same amount of buttermilk Yogurt In baked goods For each 1/4 teaspoon (1 g) of cream of tartar, remove 1/2 cup (120 mL) of liquid in the recipe and replace it with the same amount of yogurt that has been thinned out with milk Mixing in a copper bowl To stabilize egg whites Mixing ingredients in a copper bowl can stabilize egg white Omit it To prevent crystallization in syrups, icing, or frosting You can omit cream of tartar without making other changes, but you may need to reheat after storing if the mixture crystallizes Keep reading to learn which cream of tartar substitutes to use in certain situations and how to implement them into your recipes. Lemon juice Cream of tartar is often used to stabilize egg whites and helps provide the characteristic high peaks in recipes like meringue. If you're out of cream of tartar in a case like this, lemon juice works as a great substitute. Lemon juice provides acidity similar to cream of tartar, helping to form stiff peaks when you're whipping egg whites. If you're making syrups or frostings, lemon juice can also replace cream of tartar to help prevent crystallization. For best results, substitute an equal amount of lemon juice for the cream of tartar in your recipe. White vinegar Like cream of tartar, white vinegar is acidic. It contains about 3.75 to 5% acetic acid. If you're in a pinch in the kitchen, you can swap white vinegar for cream of tartar. This substitute works best when stabilizing egg whites for recipes like soufflés and meringues. Use an equal amount of white vinegar in place of cream of tartar when you're whipping egg whites. Remember that white vinegar may not be a good alternative for baked goods like cakes, as it may alter the taste and texture. Buttermilk Buttermilk is the liquid that is left behind after churning butter from cream. Because of its acidity, buttermilk can work as a replacement for cream of tartar in some recipes. It works especially well in baked goods, but you'll need to remove some liquid from the recipe to account for the buttermilk. For each 1/4 teaspoon (1 g) of cream of tartar in the recipe, remove 1/2 cup (120 mL) of liquid and replace it with 1/2 cup (120 mL) of buttermilk. Buttermilk also offers many health benefits, including protection against pathogens and intestinal infections due to probiotics. Yogurt Yogurt is produced through the fermentation of milk by lactic acid bacteria. Like buttermilk, yogurt is acidic and can replace cream of tartar in some recipes. Lactic acid bacteria produce yogurt. Before you use yogurt as a substitute, thin it out with a bit of milk to match the consistency of buttermilk, then use it to replace cream of tartar in the same way. Reserve this substitution primarily for baked goods, as it requires you to remove liquids from the recipe. For every 1/4 teaspoon (1 g) of cream of tartar, remove 1/2 cup (120 mL) of liquid from the recipe and replace it with 1/2 cup (120 mL) of yogurt that has been thinned out with milk. Use a copper bowl Older research suggests that if you use cream of tartar to stabilize whisked egg whites, you may be able to skip the cream of tartar altogether if you have a copper bowl. Further research is needed to fully understand why and how much copper can help stabilize egg whites. However, experts believe that copper ions from the bowl react with conalbumin, the protein in the egg whites. This reaction forms a conalbumin-copper complex, which is more stable than conalbumin alone. The complex helps stabilize the foam and makes it less likely to overheat. But copper bowls can be expensive and often require special maintenance. They may not be a suitable or accessible replacement for everyone. In some recipes, it may be easier to omit the cream of tartar than to find a substitute. For example, if you're using cream of tartar to stabilize whipped egg whites, you can leave it out if you don't have any on hand. Additionally, if you're making syrup, frosting, or icing and using the cream of tartar to prevent crystallization, you can omit it from the recipe without dire consequences. Although syrups may eventually crystallize if stored for an extended period, you can fix this by simply reheating them on the stove or in the microwave. On the other hand, it may not be a good idea to leave out cream of tartar or a substitute for baked goods that require a leavening agent.
