Happy birthday to Mallory!
No, I wouldn't consider Gorey a children's book illustrator.

Would Edward Gorey be considered a children's book illustrator?
Not primarily, but some of his books could be classified as for children.

Yahoo! Answers has him listed under "Children's Illustrators". I was hoping to use him for my illustrator project for class, but wasn't sure if he really "counted" as such.

This is from Wikipedia:
In later years he illustrated many children's books by John Bellairs, as well as books in several series begun by Bellairs and continued by other authors after his death.

The brewpub I got to all the time (two locations) has had deep fried pickles on the menu as long as I can remember. I've heard they are good, but I've never quite worked up the nerve to order them.
dude, they are GOOOOOD. I just got into them a couple months ago. you gotta cut them in half and let them cool though because they are molten lava hot under the crust.
I am watching the first season of Top Chef (I set up my season pass to catch TC Chicago and it grabbed the season 1 marathon too) and THE PRETENTIOUS SOMMELIER MUST GO!
Oh, yeah, and I'm on my couch for the day again.

my mother does this insane thing where she puts a candy cane in the middle of a big dill pickle and sucks the pickle and the candy cane together. It's GROSS.
Ew. But we used to do this with hollow candy sticks and lemons and it's fab.
Actual pickles soaked in Koolaid or, pickles made with Koolaid in place of the brining liquid? Either way, no.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Dill pickles soaked in Koolaid, and seconding the NO.
