starladyI won't lie, Windows Picture & Fax Viewer is pretty awesome, and I've missed it.

"To eat is
Very important, and lucky,
And a very scary thing...'"
[02]
FX:Gently swaying
Yuuko: Oh,
That's--
Mokona: It's sake--!
And snacks!
Watanuki: Um,
If you like, would you like to eat these?
[03]
Yuuko: Though if we snack on them before dinner, you'll cut our portions.
For some reason or another.
Mokona: Yeah.
Watanuki: No, I made them because I wanted you to check the taste.
Yuuko: Hmm?
What is it again all of a sudden?
Of course, thank you very much.
FX: Slowly
Boiled potatoes, huh.
FX: Munching
[04]
Yuuko: Yes,
They're delicious.
Watanuki: Is there anything
Different from usual?
Yuuko: No.
They taste the same as always.
Mokona: Tasty!
I'm proceeding to the sake!
Watanuki: ...Doumeki, he...
Yuuko: ...I see.
Watanuki: Doumeki, he
[05]
Watanuki: He left some.
And
After that, without lifting a hand at all--
FX: Munch
Yuuko: But your cooking student made that, right?
Watanuki: But even though it was exactly according to my instructions, Doumeki left food untouched.
FX: Munch munch
Mokona: Watanuki, you taught her properly.
Mokona was watching, so it's certain.
Watanuki: But,
That I can't taste,
...and I don't remember.
Yuuko: Your cooking which was made the same ways as always, Watanuki, and that person's cooking.
But there's something different.
Watanuki: Huh?
But the method...
[06]
Yuuko: Cooking isn't something you can do just by knowing the method, is it.
There's something else necessary, isn't there.
Watanuki: Something
Necessary?
[07]
FX: Quick!
Mokona: THE LAST ONE--!
FX: Chomp
Munch munch
Yuuko: You were careless, Mokona.
FX: Evil laughter
Mokona: Watanuki--! Additional potatoes--!
FX: Writhing
One in consideration of Mokona's sweetness!
FX: Magnificent
Watanuki: YOU SAY IT YOURSELF?
Why are you talking big when asking a favor?
[08]
Watanuki: I'll make some.
I might as well make meat and potatoes. [T/N: Yum]
FX: Rumble
Yuuko: YA~Y!
Watanuki: Sheesh, since it's before dinner, take it a little slowly.
FX: Turning
Mokona: Yeah! Slowly, all we like!
FX: High five!
Yuuko: And as much hot sake as we like!
Watanuki: A little is a little!
[09]
Mokona: Watanuki's flavor
Is Watanuki's father's flavor.
Yuuko: ...Yes.
And the flavor of his distant ancestor as well.
[10]
Client: I'm sorry for today too.
You coming here out of your way.
Watanuki: Oh, um, not at all.
How were they?
The boiled potatoes you made.
Client: They turned out pretty.
You're good at teaching, sensei.
Watanuki: No, I'm not a sensei--
Client: What will you teach me today?
[11]
Watanuki: How about spring rolls?
Client: Please, teach me.
Sensei.
Watanuki: Since today is squash spring rolls,
Raise them from a low temperature.
FX: Sizzling
Raise the temperature gradually.
Client: Right.
Watanuki: That's looking good.
So, on the dish.
FX: Freshly crisp
You've done it neatly.
Somehow I don't feel as if I have anything to teach you.
You're so skilled.
Client: That's not the case.
[12]
Client: I have a lot to study.
Watanuki: But why cooking again?
FX: Sinuous movement
Client: I'm getting married.
Watanuki: Is that so?
Congratulations.
Client: So I thought it was good to learn properly for once, in preparation.
[13]
Watanki: Um,
Would you like to taste them?
The seasoning, and the heaviness of the fundamentals--
Since you've made them, you should make them taste as you like.
Client: No.
[14]
Client: I don't eat what I cook myself.
Watanuki: Huh!?
T/N: I was trying to think of a less literal way to say "flavor" on page 09 that would still preserve the play on the flavor of food. The semi-metaphorical "smack", as in "X smacks of Y" seemed promising, but I couldn't think of a way to phrase that in context that didn't sound awkward. The original is also ambiguous.
I can't remember if Clow's ever showed up in HOLiC before. At any rate, it's a sign of the end. At least we have defiinitive proof that Watanuki is not Clow's son. I'm wondering again if he's Eriol's son? Or somehow or other the child of Shaoran and Sakura from CCS? Though that seems too simple. And too obvious.
