    The Cookbook has so many recipes that taste like crap. Slick party songs? Tail dropping? You guys actually used the word tail dropping. Riiiight, definitely give it 0.

    "The Cookbook" plays like a party mix tape. [4 Jul 2005]

    Like an untethered spouse suddenly separated from a longtime love, Elliott seems a bit lost somewhere between her intimidating past and her newfound independence.
