PURE FLAVOUR MEETS PREMIUM INGREDIENTS
These dressings start with the finest cold-pressed extra-virgin olive oil. Then premium vinegar, herbs and spices are added. Finally, to give each vinaigrette its distinctive fresh flavor, specialty cheese, sun dried tomatoes or real raspberries are mixed in. No expense is spared. And the reason is simple. Because the best salads or marinades are made with the purest ingredients.
Flavourful and versatile, Kraft Extra Virgin Olive Oil Vinaigrettes are a go-to choice for marinating olives, blending with couscous, dressing salads, roasting vegetables, or spicing up antipasto plates.
Varieties available at Lindo’s: Parmesan Pesto, Roasted Red Pepper, Raspberry, Balsamic, or Italian, in 14 oz. bottles.

Lindo’s is pleased to introduce Perry’s Ice Cream to our stores.
Perry’s Ice Cream was founded in 1918 by H. Morton Perry. He started his business as a dairy in Akron, NY and delivered 29 gallons of fresh milk by horse and wagon to customers.
That all changed when a high school cafeteria manager asked him if he would supply ice cream to the school. Not one to turn down any extra business, Morton used his mother’s ice cream recipe and hand cranked the mix in small batches and then stored it in an ice-and-salt freezer until it was time to deliver to the school. Demand for his homemade ice cream quickly increased and soon the Perry’s began delivering bulk orders to stores and restaurants around Akron, NY.
Today, Perry’s is one of the two largest ice cream manufacturing plants in New York State. Churning out 12 million gallons per year, Perry’s supports their community, local farmers and vendors.
Regardless of modern technology and industry advances, Perry’s has been true to its founder’s recipe. Fresh milk and cream blended with the finest ingredients, makes every batch of Perry’s perfect!
At Lindo’s you’ll find a variety of Perry’s ice cream in delectable flavours. Look for Perry’s Premium Ice Cream in enticing flavours like French Roast Coffee, Mint Ting-A-Ling, Pineapple Paradise, Grasshopper Pie, or Bourbon Caramel Pecan.

First aid is the act of helping a person who has become suddenly sick or injured. We will all require – or administer – first aid at some point: it’s part of life’s unexpected bumps and scrapes along the way.
Anyone is able to give first aid. In fact, the majority of those who help with first aid are simply people who happen to be nearby.
Serious injuries require medical assistance. Dial 911 for assistance.
The best way to approach first aid is to stop, take a deep breath and assess the situation. Do not put yourself in danger, and if the injured or ill person is in danger, remove them if they can be moved. Always wash your hands before and after giving first aid and wear gloves if available.
Serious injuries require medical assistance but there are many common injuries that can be treated with basic first aid.
Cuts and scrapes
Apply pressure with a clean cloth or dressing to stop the bleeding. Once bleeding stops, clean the wound and remove any debris with tweezers. Apply an antibiotic such as Neosporin or Polysporin and cover with a bandage.
Stings
Provided the person is not allergic to an insect sting, simply remove the stinger by scraping across the skin with a fingernail or credit card. Stings from plants such as poison ivy require immediate and thorough washing. As a rash appears, apply a cold compress to alleviate discomfort and administer antihistamine such as Benadryl or Piriton. For both plant and insect stings, apply Calamine lotion or hydrocortisone cream such as Cortizone-10 or a generic Hydrocortisone Cream to the site.
Burns
Immediately hold a burn under cool running water, or apply a cool, wet cloth. Cover blisters with a loose gauze. Do not break blisters; if they break on their own, apply an antibiotic cream like Polysporin.
Shock
An injured person might show signs of shock, such as pale, clammy skin, rapid breathing, dizziness or nausea or vomiting. If you suspect a person might be in shock, lay them down and elevate their legs. Keep the person still, loosen their clothing and cover with a blanket. Stay with them until help arrives.
A well-stocked first aid kit is a necessity.
An important tool in first aid is a properly equipped first aid kit. For personal use, a first aid kit should be kept at home, in the car, on your boat or anywhere else you spend time. Also be aware of where first aid kits are stored at work, your gym or other places you regularly visit. And keep one in your suitcase for travel.
It is easy and inexpensive to assemble your own first aid kit. Use any bag that will allow items to be visible and easily accessible, such as a make-up bag or a clear plastic container with a lid. Sort items according to type and organize in re-sealable plastic bags. A first aid kit should contain at least the following items:
- Adhesive and non-stick bandages in various sizes
- Sterile gauze pads in various sizes
- Adhesive first aid tape – waterproof or cloth
- Tweezers to remove dirt, splinters or thorns
- Antiseptic wipes or spray, such as Bactine or Dettol
- Hydrocortisone cream and antibiotic cream such as Neosporin, Polysporin
- Pain relievers such as Ibuprofen (Advil), Acetaminophen (Tylenol) or Aspirin (do not give Aspirin to children)
- Thermometer
- Antihistamines like Benadryl, Piriton or Claritin for allergic reactions
- Absorbent compress dressings
- Elasticized (Ace) bandage for support for sprains
- Instant cold compress (or, if at home, an ice pack in the freezer)
If family members have specific needs such as prescribed medication, store that in the kit as well. Other good additions are a flashlight, latex or rubber gloves and hand sanitizer. Check your kit every six months for expiration dates.
With any luck, your first aid kit will sit untouched. But when mishaps occur, a properly stocked kit and some basic first aid knowledge can come to the rescue.
