Pumpkin waffles

I'm not a big pumpkin fan when it comes to the actual vegetable, but I do love the flavors that usually surround it: ginger, cinnamon, molasses, clove, etc.  Warm and slightly spicy.  I had half a can of pumpkin puree leftover and always have a craving for waffles!  This recipe came to the rescue, and who can resist a flavored syrup?!? Not me.  We had a happy breakfast-for-dinner :)

Tri-tip marinade

"Everything in the kitchen sink" marinade!

Throw that hunk of meat in a ziploc bag and fill it up!

Here's what I add: (keep in mind this is not measured at all, just eyeballed

Olive oil (a couple tablespoons)

Red wine vinegar (1/4 cup)

Soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce (couple tablespoons)

Course ground kosher salt (2 tablespoons)

Sugar (1 tablespoon)

Pepper (2 teaspoons)

Season salt and onion powder (1 teaspoon each)

lots of chopped garlic

If I feel like it, a glob of dijon mustard and a squeeze of a lemon

Now leave the grilling to the men!
