My grandma and mom make the best cucumber thing ever.
Cukes (3) & onions (if you like them), miracle whip, sugar, and vinegar. Salt & Pepper. Mix up, let it sit in the fridge and get awesome.
I can eat many cucumbers worth of this in one setting. It's terrible.
Shit, now I need to track down the exact recipe. I must ask my mom for it twice a year, I don't know why I can't remember it.

I recently learned that you can freeze cucumbers, though you need to brine them first: http://www.thriftyfun.com/tf420799.tip.html (http://www.thriftyfun.com/tf420799.tip.html).
I like them in SE Asian dishes, either in a salad like the beef and cucumber salad found here http://jessthomson.wordpress.com/2007/06/15/everybody-loves-fish-sauce/ (http://jessthomson.wordpress.com/2007/06/15/everybody-loves-fish-sauce/) or added in to stir fries, which sounded strange at first but was really good: http://thespicedlife.com/2009/02/so-you-think-youve-had-sweet-and-sour-thai-sweet-and-sour-with-pork.html.

I make a similar recipe but with plain yogurt and dill. You can probably sub yogurt for mayo in most of those kinds of recipes to reduce fat/cals.

my dad makes quick pickles he calls "cucumbers and onions in vinegar"; slice cucumbers and onions and toss them with a bit of sal, pack them in a mason jar, fill jar with vinegar, put them in the fridge and leave for a few days before eating
garnish gin & tonic with a slice of cucumber (BEST gin & tonic ever, trust me)
sweet pickles, bread & butter pickles, dill pickles
relish
cucumber & cream cheese sandwiches, or one-up that with the Cucumber Club (thanks, Albion Hotel!): dark rye, cream cheese, cucumber, light rye, tomato, lettuce, more cream cheese, dark rye
salad nicoise (okay, the cucumber is controversial, but that's how I make it)

This is a yummy easy sort of pickled sweet & sour cucumber dish...quick to make.
Though the recipe calls for English hothouse cucumbers, you can really use any kind. I used a mandolin to slice them really thin. I eased up on the salt a little, and on the dill, because I don't love-love it.
Recipe For Sweet and Sour Cucumbers With Fresh Dill
Ingredients
2 English hothouse cucumbers (1 1/2 pounds total), unpeeled, very thinly sliced
1 tablespoon coarse kosher salt
1/2 cup distilled white vinegar
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh dill
3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Place cucumber slices in colander. Sprinkle with salt; toss to coat. Let stand 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, for dressing, stir vinegar, dill, sugar, and pepper in large bowl until sugar is dissolved.
Drain cucumbers well; pat dry. Add cucumbers to dressing and stir to blend.
Refrigerate at least 15 minutes and up to 2 hours; serve cold.

Well, I made some refrigerator pickles today...two quarts of dill, two quarts of bread and butter...they have to set for a day or so then I can try them...sooo dang many different recipes online that I had a hard time deciding...why do bread and butter generally call for turmeric but dills don't?...what does turmeric do anyway?

Slice them up and dip them in Ranch dressing.
