      I love oatmeal raisin cookies and I’m tired of pretending I don’t.

      Raisins are delicious and most cookies would be improved with oatmeal.

        Have you ever tried aging the dough in the fridge for a few days? It makes the oatmeal softer while the outside gets crisp.

        I love oatmeal raisin cookies, hold or majorly reduce the raisins. Cookie part tastes great because oatmeal is awesome.

      Nah, don’t mix them up, olives are great, especially well sourced ones. Raisins are just an unpleasant surprise, every time.

      People hate raisins because they’re not chocolate. I enjoy G.O.R.P. on occasion, but I don’t eat trail mix for the raisins. I leave most of them behind. They can be a bit much. Ratio of anything to raisin needs to be right. One raisin to five to ten of anything else, otherwise they’re just overwhelming.

      Olives, on the other hand, are fucking delicious. Hell yeah. Bathe me in their brine-rich kisses.

      Well for me it’s because grapes are my favorite fruit so it’s like everything I love about a grape is sucked out of it.
