       I bought fresh basil yesterday for a new pad thai recipe I will make for lunch today. Yum! (And since I checked, I’ll share: AP style is to lowercase “thai” in “pad thai, which surprised me a bit.)

       @grammargirl I always find it a bit weird when combined words have mixed cases like Brussels sprouts and French press.

       @grammargirl Pad thai is a weird dish anyway - it didn't exist until the Thai government commissioned it as a nationalist tool

       @grammargirl And the Thai alphabet doesn’t have capital letters. Or a concept of putting a space between words.

       @battmutler I just read a tiny bit about it. Wild! I had no idea.

       @grammargirl Yum! I'm surprised too, although if I think about it I guess it works.

       @mrjackdaw Sure!It's not traditional pad thai, but I had some miracle noodles I wanted to use and came across this recipe. I didn't have shrimp, so I added an extra egg. Next time, I'll add more fish sauce and crushed red pepper, but it was good. I'll definitely make it again.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qipiMDkXaIQ

       @grammargirl Did you get the right kind of basil?
