Dear Valued Users,
It's with a heavy heart that we announce the permanent closure of StepTalk.org on August 31st, 2025.
This decision wasn't an easy one. For over twenty years, StepTalk has been a source of support for stepparents around the world! However, over the years, the costs associated with maintaining and upgrading the site to remain secure, meet current standards and maintain availability have become unsustainable.
We are incredibly grateful for your support, contributions and the community you've helped us build. Your engagement has made StepTalk.org a special place and we cherish the memories and connections made here.
We would especially like to thank Aniki for volunteering to be a moderator and for caring so much.
Thank you for being a part of our journey and we wish you all the best.
Sincerely,
Dawn and The StepTalk Team

Have not yet tried curry, but it always sounds sooo good. I come from Minnesota, the land of hot-dish! It's see what ya got in the cupboard, mix it all together in a dish, throw it in the oven and BAM, ya got dinner! lol

Yep. Tater tot hot-dish is the best! You've got your bread, meat, veggies and dairy all in one dish! lol
I like to cook chicken, steaks or pork chops in the oven cause it makes cooking it a little less of a hassle. It takes a little bit longer, but I don't have to worry about checking it or watching it, I can get other stuff done while it's cooking, there's no dishes needed to cook it (I just use aluminum foil) and the meat turns out very moist.
