A few months ago we emptied our big container of black pepper. I held on to the empty container because I knew someday I would think of something to do with it.

Okay, I'll admit these aren't real turkey feathers, but since Thanksgiving is right around the corner it seemed like the perfect opportunity to pull out the feathers. I've had these feathers forever.
