When you go for walks through the neighborhood, pick up take-out or delivery menus from restaurants you pass by. Try to keep 5 or 10 menus on hand for places you really like.
A tip I read on parenthacks is to have the working parent(s) keep the menus at the workplace. Place a phone call for takeout from work, and pick it up on the way home.
A tip I learned from my husband is to simply program the number in your cell phone. In my phone, Ruen Pair comes right before Ryan and after Ross.

we did this yesterday from a good, but slightly overpriced bbq place in berkeley. they have all the bbq goodies and a great selection of sides. t-rex-bbq.com
This is a great idea. Especially when dalia was a few months old and was having a lot of irritability around dinner time, we’d bjorn her and walk down the street to order/pick up take out as an excuse for some fresh air!
