crock cook

English Art/Literary Other
And instead of charging them $5,000 a day to come out and work on it and do a two-day immersion and then have you go and maybe not understand it, we're going to crock cook it. You're going to get a set of tapes to start with to listen to and ground you and then, every month, we're going to take a different issue, we're going to work it out, you're going to go out, you're going to apply it,you're going to try it, you're going to report back.

work on something over a long period
