Every so often, someone will act very angry online because a recipe they clicked on has “too much text.” They wanted to make mushroom ravioli, but instead had to scroll through a bunch of words about what mushroom ravioli means to a blogger’s family….

This is You Won’t Regret It, a new weekly column featuring recommendations, tips, and unsolicited advice from the Mashable culture team.
People nowadays are under tremendous pressure to do everything themselves, whether it’s designing our own clothes, building our own internet or — good God — making our own lunch for work.
It’s too damn much. But forgive me if I add another task to the pile: You need to make your own hummus. No store-bought version, no matter how fancy the label is, can stand up to homemade.

Are you less than satisfied with regular sized French fries? Make a super long version at home.
YouTubers HellthyJunkFood, who often magnify regular fast foods to giant proportions (with a very vaguely healthy spin), have come up with their own recipe for a rather long French fry, which you can try at home — if you have your own deep fryer.
Importantly, you’re not going to have to find a giant potato for this fry. Instead, it’s a recipe based on mashed potatoes, and real tends to work better than instant here. It’s also not going to be the world’s longest fry — that’s 11 feet 10 inches — but they’re pretty sizeable. Read more…

Thanksgiving means one thing: pie. And lots of it.
The UC Berkeley Library scoured its collection of 900 cookbooks to find old recipes for Thanksgiving pies and then baked them and put them to the test.
The library went deep and found a recipe for “pompkin” pie from the 1796 cookbook, American Cookery — the first known cookbook written by an American, according to the library.
Other recipes tested included a sweet potato pie from What Mrs. Fisher Knows About Old Southern Cooking from 1881 and quince pie from the 1940 book The Martha Washington Cook Book. Read more…
