Raisins have ruined the oatmeal cookie.

Huh, apparently Utah is in its monsoon season. I never thought of us as being the kind of place that gets monsoons, as high humidity to us is 30-40% and there's a lack of rain forests nearby.
But it is the season of tropical moisture migrating our way and the extreme afternoon thunderstorem.

Yowza. That thunderstorm I mentioned? The rain swept in so fast - it is absolutely bucketing now. And the big trees outside my patio were bending with the wind. I have never seen them bend like that before. My, my, my.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Chocolate chips in oatmeal cookies are the devil, because they set my expectations up for raisins, and then (obviously) the taste and texture are totally different from what I expect.

Brownies are awesome with chocolate chips. You get a variation in texture.
That's what nuts are for! Save chips for oatmeal cookies, which need them in place of raisins

Chocolate chips do not belong in oatmeal cookies. Raisins do.
Chocolate chips in banana bread are an abomination.

I'm pretty anti-raisin in most things. I definitely like my oatmeal cookies unadulterated.
