chipotle mayo: mayo + chipotle in adobo. mix in blender
chipotle in adobo comes in small cans in the goya or mexican section of you're supermarket. 1 or 2 chiles makes a ton of mayo, so go by taste. the rest freezes well and is handy to have for a quick batch.
Bryan S has a recipe around here. I'm sure you can find more complicated recipes. I've been known to go 50/50 mayo and sour cream, or add lime juice/zest.
sounds like your trying new things which is great. Become friends with a good zester (microplane). I try to zest all my citrus before I extract the juice. Leaving it out overnight is sufficient to get it dry, and its a great addition to grilling rubs.
I have a large "bus" tub. They are the tubs you'll see people clearing dishes into at restaurants. I picked up one at an asian grocery. I find it very helpful for tasks like injecting brines or rubbing and pulling butts. Its the best 5 bucks you can invest in IMO.
I also recommend a plastic bucket that is food grade. I have a 2 gal and a 5 gal that I picked up at a home brew store. I read somewhere that these buckets are designed to hold liquids for long periods of time and will not leach chemicals into the brine. Of course it helps to have a extra fridge with no shelves to keep the big bucket chilled.
