Pickles on the menu?

Looks like I'm going to be making pickles, as they are on sale at the local produce market.  I love bread and butter pickles, but I feel like the store kind are acceptable, so if I'm going through the effort of making pickles, I'm going to try some different kinds.  I made pickled beets a few weeks ago (hmm, I should pop open a jar and see how they turned out) and I LOVE watermelon rind pickles, but it's pickling cucumbers that are on sale, so I'm off to find some unusual recipes.  I'll share anything good that I find.
