The best and worst gift I ever gave my mom on Mother's Day was a hamburger patty press. • It was a lousy present for mostly obvious reasons, not the least of which was we almost never had hamburgers. I was about 10 and bought it with my own money. • Over the years, it has taken on the sheen of a prized possession. It is legend in the family for quirkiness — its and mine. Mom still has the 40-year-old patty press in a kitchen drawer. • I treasure the present for what it taught me about being a mother. Mom opened that metal trifle like it was diamond earrings. Even on her day, she was thinking about others. • Sunday is Mother's Day. It's difficult to beat a heartfelt present from a child, but here are some gift suggestions for moms who like to cook and those who feel they just have to. If these ideas don't strike your fancy, there is always the burger press. Or reservations.
