Since May is National Hamburger Month, this month we’ll take a look at the origins of one of the world's most popular meals...the Hamburger! If you look back a few thousands of years, you'll find that even the ancient Egyptians ate ground meat patties, and down through the ages ground meat has been shaped into patties and eaten all over the world under many different names. But exactly when and where the modern hamburger was born is much harder to pin down. Sev-eral folks over in the US - from New Ha-ven, Connecticut, to Tulsa, Oklahoma - confidently claim their ancestors invented it. As controversial as it is, the history of the hamburger is truly a story that has been run through the meat grinder. Legends say it began with the Mongols, who stashed scraps of beef, lamb or mutton under their saddles as they spanned the globe in their campaign to conquer the known world, much as McDonald's has done in the last half century. When Genghis Khan's grandson, Kublai Khan, and his hordes invaded Moscow, they naturally brought their unique dietary ground meat with them. The Russians adopted it into their own cuisine with the name "Steak Tartare," (Tartars being their name for the Mongols). Later, as global trade picked up, seafarers brought this idea back to the port city of Hamburg, Germany, where the Deutschvolk decided to mold it with breadcrumbs into a steak shape and cook it, making something that, outside of Ham-

burg, was referred to as "Hamburg steak.” But enough fishing in European and Asian waters; let's cut bait here. Somehow

ground beef gets to America. Somehow it's put on a bun. But by whom? Surely, the historical record should be-come clearer once we land on American shores. Sadly, it doesn't. Some have written that the first American hamburger (actually Hamburger Steak) was served in 1834 at Del-

monico's Restaurant, New York City, this oft-quoted origin is not based on the origi-nal Delmonico menu but rather a facsimile, which was debunked. If a ground beef patty served between two slices of bread is a hamburger, then credit goes to Charlie Nagreen of Seymour, Wis-consin, who, at the age of 15, sold ham-burgers from his ox-drawn food stand at the Outagamie County Fair. He went to the fair and set up a stand selling meatballs. Business wasn't good and he quickly real-ized that it was because meatballs were too difficult to eat while strolling around the fair. In a flash of innovation, he flattened the meatballs, placed them between two slices of bread and called his new creation a hamburger. But some say a hamburger really isn't a hamburger unless it's on a bun. If so, farmer and restaurateur Oscar Weber Bilby of Tulsa, Oklahoma, deserves credit for serving the first-known "hamburger on a bun" in 1891. From all the research that's been done, it's probable that the hamburger sprang up independently in lots of different places.

Mother's Day is a special treat for mom, her kids and the entire family. Moms are loved the world over for all that they've done for their children.

If you are thinking of celebrating your relationship with your mother on Mother's Day with a gift, you will want to find just the thing to express your love for her. That's because, even though we may not be able to spend every day with our mothers (especially as we get older and move out of the house), we want to find our moms just the right gift that shows how much we care.

That's what moms do well: they see the best in their children (and their gifts!) always. But deep down, of course mothers love creative gifts the best. Gifts that show off your unique style - and your caring - for your mom are the ones she will really appreciate.
