Call the Midwife doesn't fall back on melodramatic staples, but rather fiercely and bravely examines the darker recesses of the human condition: The struggles of a new mother in the throes of puerperal psychosis are investigated with intense clarity and humanity, as is another storyline involving a woman suffering from severe agoraphobia and PTSD. The show never shies away from its unflinching look at the lives of those people whom it encounters: mothers and fathers, husbands and wives, midwives and doctors. Another episode deals with an institutionalized woman with Down syndrome who authorities discover is pregnant; again, rather than offer a twee solution, Call the Midwife handles the plot with characteristic emotional intelligence and bravery. It's these moments that give the show its inherent weight; they're one-episode plots that are wrapped up, but their resolutions never feel tidy or small. They're facets of a larger prism through which to view the human experience.

Although light is being shined on mental illness, there is still a long way to go.
I've long been tinkering about with a bottle of Bailey's, seeing how it could best be called upon in the kitchen, and I think, with this, I've found it. An Italian friend of mine, who makes a killer tiramisu herself, was an instant convert. I was relieved: the Italians generally are conservative about their food, which goes some way to explaining the longevity of their cherished culinary traditions. But this only sounds like some sort of joke — "Did you hear the one about the Irishman and the Italian...?" — and in reality is an elegantly buff-tinted, creamy-toned variant of the punchy, if comfortably cliched, original.
